It is written to assist the end-user in validation of predetermined specifications. The use of this document does not replace the need for the AquaLab TDL User’s Manual. Information within the User’s Manual is required to complete this IQ/OQ Protocol. If the manual has been misplaced, copies can be obtained from the manufacturer or downloaded from their website, www.aqualab.com. Qualification of instrumentation is a formal process of documenting that an instrument is fit for its intended use and that it is kept maintained and calibrated. Responsibilities The instrument qualification carried out onsite is the sole responsibility of the instrument owner/user. However, Decagon Devices supports their customers in performing the qualification by providing the instrument qualification dedicated documentation and offering a qualification service. In this regard, the following responsibilities are defined: Performance of Qualification Execution of the instrument qualification and entire qualification of the installed system covered in this document is performed by a Decagon Devices trained and authorized service personnel when ordered from a customer. Review and final qualification approval Final approval for the qualification has to be completed after review of the qualification documentation filled out during performance of the qualification procedures (IQ/OQ protocols). The customer representative then signs the approved form. Installation Qualification (IQ) Installation qualification is documented proof that the instrument was received as designed and specified by the manufacturer, that it is properly installed in the selected environment, and that this environment is suitable for the operation and use of the instrument. The IQ section therefore describes and documents the instrument installation in the pre-determined environment. Further, the IQ verifies and ensures that all ordered parts and documentation are in place and that all supplied items are in working order and condition. Operational Qualification (OQ) The operational qualification serves as proof that the equipment operates as designed and intended, as well as fulfills acceptance criteria defined and stated in the Operational Qualification documentation. These criteria are defined and are based on the equipment technical specifications of the manufacturer. Performance Qualification (PQ) Performance qualification is documented proof that an instrument consistently performs according to the specifications appropriate for its routine use. Monitoring of equipment during routine operation is essential for ensuring that the ongoing performance is within specifications. The performance qualification, execution Decagon Devices, Inc June 28, 2016 11:15 AM 3 and frequency are solely under responsibility of the user. Performance validation should be designed to meet the specifications and accuracy for a given application. Equipment familiarization and operator training records All equipment users are to be instructed in basic operation, functionality, instrument parameters, as well as on basic hardware features of the installed system including routine maintenance and cleaning procedures. Please contact Decagon Devices to learn about available training and seminars. Authorized support specialists perform the qualification services offered by Decagon Devices. Decagon Devices, Inc June 28, 2016 11:15 AM 4 Section 2 – Installation Qualification (IQ) Initial Qualification and Requalification The IQ protocols described below are dedicated to initial qualification and/or to requalification. Installation Qualification tests should be performed, 1) when the system is installed, 2) when the system is moved to a new location, 3) prior to running OQ tests.
