6. INTENDED USE OF EQUIPMENT Depyrogenation tunnel is used for the preparation/processing (depyrogenation) of containers for the filling of sterile drug product. Depyrogenation process shall be done by using filtered dry hot air. 7. EQUIPMENT/ SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Depyrogenating Tunnel is located at Vial washing room Line-1 of Ground Floor Production Department. The purpose of Depyrogenating Tunnel is to depyrogenate the Vials coming out from the Vial washing Machine. The tunnel, constructed in AISI 304, consists of three laminar flow zones such as inlet zone, heating zone and cooling zone. The clean and slighty containers are arranged and automatically deposited by the washer on to the tunnel conveyor belt at the in-feed zone. The tunnel inlet zone is protected by sterile laminar air flow which protects the washed vials discharged by washing machine and prevents any hot, saturated air, released from the heating zone because of higher pressure. The vials coming out from the heating zone enter into the cooling zone where they struck by the cooling laminar flow and brought to temperature required for the successive working. With the principle of communicating vessel, assisted by the make up of the hot zone tunnel permits operation with difference in pressure between the sterile chamber and the tunnel area Page 4 of 34

15 REQUALIFICATION CRITERIA 15.1 Scheduled re-qualification: Heat Penetration and Endotoxin challenge trials shall be done as part of a time-related requalification programme for every tunnel. Re-qualification shall be performed once in six months at minimum. One heat penetration with endotoxin challenge trail shall be done on every process specification / container size combination on each tunnel at least once per 2-years. Where HEPA filter in situ integrity testing in the hot zone of LAF tunnels is required to be done twice per year at approximately 6 month intervals.

15.2 Unscheduled re-qualification: Any modification in the depyrogenation process parameters or any major maintenance of equipment which has impact on depyrogenation, shall be properly investigated. Based on out come of the investigation results requalification shall be performed. Introduction of any new container (specifications/source) shall be qualified, based on the impact assessment on the depyrogenation efficiency.
