Introduction Unit operation of filtration is the separation of solids from a liquid by
passage through a filter medium
There are two types of filter used in filtration process Depth filters: It is made of diatomaceous earth, unglazed porcelain
filter, sintered glass or asbestos. These filters are commonly used when the fluid to be filtered contains a high load of particles.

Pre-requisites
In order to efficiently conduct validation of the membrane filtration method, ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled
Validated aseptic facility to carry out the validation All equipments to be used for validation are qualified and
operational SOP’s established and followed. All the equipments and culture media required for the
validation should be sterile. Sterile 70% IPA solution
11

(1) REPRODUCIBILITY OF FILTER Membrane filters should be routinely discarded
after processing of single lot because there are chances of contamination or cross contamination of product
However in those instances when repeated use can be justified the membrane filtration should incorporate the maximum number of lots to be processed
Factor that can affect in filtration process include viscosity, surface tension of material to be filtered, ph, flow rates, time, temperature, osmolarity etc.

![Page 16: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
(2) STERILIZATION Validation of sterilization of filter is necessary
because filter it self cause contamination of the product
To validate use of sterilizing grade filter it is not only prove that the filter is adequately sterilized but also method does not damage the filter
Most preferred method is moist heat sterilizing Variable like heat up, cool down, pressure,
temperature, time, if it is uncontrolled it lead to filter failure
16
![Page 17: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
(3) INTEGRITY TEST It should be non destructive and provide an
indication of “ fitness for use ” This include bubble point test, diffusion test,
pressure hold test, water intrusion test This test of filter should be performed prior to
processing and should be performed routinely and conducted after filtration to detect any filter leaks or perforation that might have occurred during the filtration
17
![Page 18: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In bubble point test filter medium wetted with a liquid and test gas pressure is increase until steady stream of bubble appears from tube which is immersed in water
The pressure at which the bubble first appear is recorded as the bubble point
Water bubble point of filter should exceed the greater than 50 psig
The aims of this series of tests were to: Determine the microbial removal efficiency of filters in
liquid challenge tests using Brevundimonas diminuta (ATCC 19146)
Determine integrity test parameters

(4) OPERATING CONDITION
The validation study must ensure that within anticipated worst case operating condition the filter is not compromised
Time : Long processing time could allow bacteria which have been
trapped by the filter Filter manufacturer can provide the data on the retention
tests that have been conducted for specific membrane and generally suggest that filter should retain bacteria excess of 48hr.
Filter manufacturer decide the time by performing
test
19

Temperature :Manufacture of filter recommended the limit
and these not exceeded
Pressure : Inlet pressure to the filter must be monitored
to ensure that there is no potential for structure damage
The differential pressure across the membrane must comply with the filter manufactures recommended limits
20
![Page 21: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
(5) SHEDDING
It includes particulates and fiber
Particulates :
It concern for the following reason Is the filter contributes to particular load of the solution? Is the filter specified as reducing the particulate load of the
solution? USP limits when tested by light obscuration method For LVPs not more than 25 particulates per ml ≥ 10 µm
and not more than 3 particulates per ml ≥ 25 µm
21
![Page 22: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
For SVPs not more than 6000 particulate per container ≥ 10 µm and 600 ≥ 25 µm
Optical microscopy, light obscuration, light microscopic image analysis, scanning electron microscope are used in particulates count
To measure removal of particulates by filter known amount and size distribution of particulates filtered and amount of retention is measured
22
![Page 23: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Fiber : It concern for 2 reason Is the filter shedding fiber into the solution? Is the fiber function to remove fibers Fiber releasing filter may not be used in filtration
process unless it is not possible to manufacture such
drug product without the use of such filters If it is not avoidable than use subsequently 0.22 µm mean
porosity and 0.45 µm NFR filter
23
![Page 24: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
(6) MICROBIAL CHALLENGE TEST To ensure filter is not undergoing degradation ,deformation
or some change under condition of use Drug product not cause in organism to shrink
resulting non sterilizing condition Sterilizing filter one that when challenged with 107
Brevundimonas diminuta per cm2 of filter area will produce sterile effluent
Care should be taken that drug product should not be
toxic to organism
24
![Page 25: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
(7) FILTER INERTNESS There may be extraction and adsorption phenomena
occurs Various technique for determining inertness like
compatibility, ph, conductivity, gravimetric extractable, weight change, adsorption, USP oxidizable substance test etc
Stability of the product should not be affected by the filter In gravimetric extractable test weight of the extractable are
measured when filtered are shocked in ASTM grade water for 24 hr.
25
![Page 26: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
USP oxidizable substance test amount of oxidizable substance release from the filter in filtrate is measure
(8) A TEST FOR ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY
Objectives
The test is performed to ensure that, any residual of Antimicrobial Activity is satisfactory eliminated by using the steps mentioned in this protocol
An inoculums of viable cells of the specific bacteria and fungi has been passed through the filter, inoculate filter paper in FTM & incubate at 30 to 350C or in SCDM and incubate at 20 to 250C
26
![Page 27: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
If conspicuous growth does not occur within 3 days for bacteria and 5 days for fungi, the test procedure is not valid and must be modified
(9) ENDOTOXIN Validation must address filter does not add endotoxin to
drug product It depend on quality control process of the filter
manufacturer, water used in manufacturing, choice of filter vendor, verification are not done properly
Millipak filter unit contain less than 0.5 units of endotoxin per ml as per USP bacterial endotoxin test
27
![Page 28: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
(10) TOXICITY A validation study should determine that passage of the
drug product through a filter does not cause any toxicological effects
Construction material off filtration system should be non toxic
Manufacture provide relevant test data such a compendial plastic test similar to USP class 6 test for plastics and USP mouse safety test for all construction materials
28
![Page 29: Validation of Membrane Filtration](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061414/5695d29d1a28ab9b029b152f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
In USP class 6 test was performed to conform that filter are suitable and non-toxic with contact with parenterals
Testing includes systematic and intracutaneous injection as well as intramuscular implantation
If no toxicity found then filter passes the test In USP mouse safety test mouse were injected with filter
unit extract, then monitored for sign for toxicity
