Environments, Systems and Process Validations

The international standards for the quality provide for validating all the productive and services processes, for those whom eventual lacks can be discovered only after the use of the product. The same normative explains that the sterilization, the packaging, the control of production areas for the medical disposables are considered special processes and, for this reason, they ask for the validation activity.

A complete knowledge of the international normative and thirty years of experience in the sterilization field, allow Bioster to have a technical team well prepared in special processes, plants and clean rooms validations. Synergy between validation team and laboratory technicians increases the possibility to investigate in the proper way also a large range of technical aspects in the production processes.

These abilities help Bioster to increase the range of services: qualifications (IQ, PQ and OQ) for internal and customers plants, protocols of validation for special processes, technical verification for sterilization plants, sterilization processes, rooms with particles and microbiological controlled environment analysis to support the product certification. These activities are run using modern instruments and methods which are the state of art and enable Bioster technicians to connect with the different plants used by the customers.

The validation activity for a special process, as sterilization, the conditioning of a production area, the packaging of a medical disposable or the preparation in sterile, ask for the development of a studied validation project.

The attention which Bioster puts in this sector allowed, since 1996, to certify these validation and verification activities according to the European Community Standards EEC, for the different kinds of products and to the quality guide lines in the different sectors: MDD (93/42/EEC), EN ISO 9001, EN ISO 13485, 2001/83/CE, 2003/94/CE, GMP; Italian and European Pharmacopoeia, USP.
