Validation of the Autoclave is classified into the following
1.0 OQ – Operational Qualification
2.0 PQ – Performance Qualification
The validation is being taken up to cater to the new requirements of the GMP. Since it is already in use only OQ and PQ will be considered.
VALIDATION TEAM:

5.0 DOCUMENTATION :
5.1
Master Instrument used for validation of autoclave
Institutes name and address carrying out calibration.
Standard calibrating instrument name and number.
Instrument certified against (Instrument of national or international standards)
Date of calibration and validity period of calibration.
Training certificate of persons (External agency) carrying out validation.
6.2 Autoclave being calibrated :
All temperature readings for autoclave being validated should be collected from the approved external agency like IIME.
Validation report with observed any error, statement of calibration and next validation due.
7.0 FREQUENCY :
Once in a year until and unless no change in autoclave. In case of any change, the autoclave must be revalidated

how can we justify thermocouple location in the autoclave and based on chamber volume how can we calculate the thermocouples location for validation.
What Is revalidation Cycle Load Patarn
Each Load 1 Cycle Or 3 Cycle
Boviedick is required or not
Empty
Half Load
Full Load
Porous
Product Load Min Max

The following time I read a blog, I trust that it doesn't bomb me similarly as much as this specific one. That is to say, I realize it was my decision to peruse, regardless I really trusted you would presumably have something valuable to discuss. All I hear is a lot of crying about something you could fix on the off chance that you were not very bustling searching for consideration.
