GMP autoclaves for laboratories and industry

A GMP autoclave is one that adheres to the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) system outlined by both the European Union and the United States. This means it is an autoclave designed in accordance with a set of specifications. These specifications cover everything from the construction materials of the equipment, safety components, and the purity of the water that can be used in the autoclave’s sterilization processes.

What are the characteristics of GMP autoclaves?

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) set the baseline requirements that human medicine manufacturers must adhere to in their production processes. These standards are developed and overseen by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Both agencies coordinate inspections to ensure that all pharmaceutical manufacturers, regardless of their global location, comply with these standards if their products are intended for the European Union or U.S. market.

These practices aim to guarantee that drugs consistently maintain high quality, are suitable for their intended use, and comply with the specifications of their marketing authorization.

When we mention a GMP autoclave, we refer to one that is in line with these good practices described by the European Union and the United States. Its application is mandatory for large autoclaves used for the production of medicines for human consumption. This implies that its design obeys a set of rigorous criteria that range from the selection of materials in its construction, through safety specifications, to the quality of the water used in the sterilization process.

Specifically, when we talk about a GMP laboratory autoclave, we are referring to GMP Annex 11, which describes the rules governing the security and privacy requirements of the electronic records generated by the equipment. In order for an autoclave to comply with these regulations, its record keeping and electronic signature control system must follow very strict and specific requirements.

This regulation mandates several key aspects, including validation mechanisms to ensure the authenticity of generated reports, protocol management, the organization of user and administrator hierarchies, the traceability of all operations carried out within the autoclave, and the confidentiality of the data produced.
