particles that are solid or liquid. 1. Test Apparatus The apparatus is an electronic, liquid-borne particle counting system that uses a light- obscuration sensor with a suitable sample feeding device. Critical operational criteria consist of the following: a. Sensor Concentration Limits Use an instrument that has a concentration limit (the maximum number of particles per ml) identified by the manufacturer that is greater than the concentration of particles in the test specimen to be counted. b. Sensor Dynamic Range The dynamic range of the instrument used (range of sizes of particles that can be accurately sized and counted) must include the smallest particle size to be enumerated in the test articles. 2. Instrument Calibration The instrument must be calibrated periodically according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. The following are parameters that should be evaluated as F OOD AND D RUG A DMINISTRATION O FFICE OF R EGULATORY A FFAIRS Office of Regulatory Science Document Number: ORA.007 Revision #: 02 Revised: 25 Aug 2020 Title: Pharmaceutical Microbiology Manual Page 42 of 92 For the most current and official copy, check QMiS. part of the periodic instrument calibration in addition to other tests recommended or routinely performed by the instrument manufacturer. a. Sample Volume Accuracy The accuracy of the sample volume must be assessed and found to be within the manufacturer’s recommended range. b. Sample Flow Rate Verify that the flow rate is within the manufacturer's specifications for the sensor used. c. Calibration and Resolution of the sensor Verify that the sensor resolution is within the manufacturer’s specifications for spherical particles of known size between 10µm and 25µm. 3. Test Environment a. Glassware, closures and other equipment must be suitably cleaned so that the level of particles added has a negligible effect on the outcome of the test. Note: Glassware can be purchased in particle free packages which are a suitable particulate free vehicle for compositing liquid samples. b. Perform the test in an environment that does not contribute any significant amount of particulate matter. Preparation of the test specimen, glassware, closers and other equipment should be performed in an environment protected by HEPA filters. c. The analyst should don non-shedding garments and powder-free gloves throughout the preparation of samples. 4. Instrument Start-up and Environment Blank a. Following instrument start-up perform an instrument flush using Milli-Q water or equivalent in accordance with ORA-LAB-.019. b. Prior to beginning a test procedure an environment blank must be prepared and tested according to ORA-LAB.019. After passing results have been obtained the instrument can now be used to perform the test procedure. 5. Test Procedure a. For containers having volumes of less than 25 mL, test a solution pool of 10 or more units to obtain a volume of no less than 25 |
