Cleanroom monitoring: How measurement technology helps to ensure air quality
In cleanrooms where sensitive processes take place, a controlled atmosphere is crucial. Cleanroom monitoring is used to monitor the air quality in such environments and ensure that particles and contaminants remain below a certain limit. Measurement technology plays an essential role here, as it can provide precise data on factors such as air pressure, temperature, humidity and particle size. This enables early detection of deviations and allows operators to take appropriate measures to maintain air quality. By using advanced measurement technology, cleanroom monitoring can make an important contribution to ensuring process safety and product quality in sensitive environments).
During production and storage, but also in research and development in the pharmaceutical industry, particular attention is paid to complete and tamper-proof data recording and documentation. According to FDA Part 11 regulations Data acquisition and monitoring systems in cleanrooms must be validated in accordance with GAMP/GMP guidelines. Measured values and limit values for parameters such as temperature, humidity, particle count and pressure must be recorded, monitored and archived reliably and tamper-proof. Via a Audit trail all user interventions relevant to the process are also saved.
Application highlights of cleanroom monitoring
- Tamper-proof recording of all measured values in cleanrooms and pharmaceutical environments
- Autonomous data storage in the Delphin recording device parallel to the PC
- Flexible set-up of monitoring functions with e-mail, fax, SMS or switching outputs
- Individually customizable process visualization and reports with ProfiSignal
- Scalable system for small and large solutions
Practical example of cleanroom monitoring
Long-term stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients
Testing the long-term stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients places special demands on data collection. The active ingredients are stored in climate chambers and freezers, where environmental conditions must be recorded, archived and documented. Changes to operating parameters such as target temperatures or limit values as well as the ambient conditions must be archived reliably and tamper-proof. User and alarm management are integrated for this purpose. All alarms are automatically logged on a weekly basis and parameter changes are logged monthly with comments. All digital documents are stored redundantly. Many hospital pharmacies have been equipped with Delphin clean room monitoring systems.
