Pharmaceutical requirements

    During manufacture           Sterility

    • Since human beings are frequently the

    principal source of microbial contamination

    in the manufacturing environment, their

    health, hygiene, clothing and training may

    all have an impact on product

    contamination.

    • Sterile manufacturing equipment, such

    as flasks, connecting tubes, and filters.

    Pharmaceutical requirements  Sterility

    Post-manufacture

    • Terminal sterilization post-manufacture is essential, preferably in final
       marketed sealed containers.

    • The method is determined largely by the nature of the preparation
       and its ingredients.

    • The resulting product must pass a test for sterility as proof of the
       effectiveness of the method and the performance of the equipment
       and personnel.
