(氧气质量) Operational Qualification For Eto Sterilizer Equipment

(氧气质量) Operational Qualification For 环氧乙烷灭菌器

Operational Qualification (氧气质量) is a critical phase in the validation of Ethylene Oxide (环氧乙烷) sterilization equipment, ensuring that the chamber and its systems function according to design specifications and 国际标准化组织 11135:2014 标准.

What is OQ in ETO Sterilization?

OQ is the rigorous process of validating that the sterilization chamber meets all performance requirements specified in its design. It confirms that the system maintains control over key variables like temperature, 压力, and vacuum levels under specified operating procedures.

How is the OQ Procedure Conducted?

The goal is to record that the installed EO sterilizer operates within its predetermined range. Key considerations include:

  • Loading: There is no specific requirement for the chamber to be empty or loaded during OQ; however, parameters should be tested under various conditions.
  • Parameter Stressing: It is recommended to set operating parameters that approach or slightly exceed process limits. This ensures the equipment remains stable even under extreme or challenging operational conditions.
Important: Should we perform PQ before OQ?

No. Operational Qualification (氧气质量) must be completed and proven before Performance Qualification (质子Q). OQ verifies the equipment’s fundamental functionality. If OQ fails, it indicates the equipment is unreliable, making any subsequent PQ data invalid and unverified.
