Core Features
What is Cleaning Validation?
Cleaning validation systems provide comprehensive management of equipment cleaning procedures, validation protocols, and ongoing cleaning verification. Software tracks cleaning procedures by product and equipment, calculates acceptable residue limits, coordinates sampling and testing, manages cleaning validation studies, and maintains FDA-inspectable documentation for equipment cleaning between product campaigns.
Key Features to Consider
- Cleaning protocol management and versioning
- Residue limit calculations (MACO, MAC, LD50-based)
- Swab and rinse sampling coordination
- Integration with LIMS for residue testing results
- Cleaning validation study management
- Cleaning effectiveness monitoring and trending
- Visual inspection checklists
- Equipment train-over and changeover tracking
- Cleaning agent qualification
- Product grouping and worst-case analysis
- Integration with MES for batch release
Compliance Requirements
Cleaning validation systems must comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and demonstrate adequate cleaning per 21 CFR 211.67. Systems must support FDA guidance on validation of cleaning procedures, including determination of acceptance limits, validation protocol execution, and ongoing cleaning verification. Complete cleaning records are required for batch disposition and regulatory inspections.
Common Use Cases
- Managing cleaning validation for multi-product manufacturing suites
- Tracking cleaning protocols between product campaigns
- Calculating acceptable residue limits for active ingredients
- Coordinating post-cleaning swab sampling and analysis
- Demonstrating cleaning effectiveness for FDA inspections
- Managing dedicated vs. non-dedicated equipment cleaning
- Supporting OSD, API, and biologics cleaning validation
