Aseptic processing of health care products - Part 6: Isolator systems (ISO 13408-6:2005)

ISO 13408-6:2005 specifies the requirements for isolator systems used for aseptic processing and offers guidance on qualification, bio-decontamination, validation, operation and control of isolator systems used for aseptic processing of health care products.
ISO 13408-6:2005 is focused on the use of isolator systems to maintain aseptic conditions; this may include applications for hazardous materials.
ISO 13408-6:2005 does not supersede or replace national regulatory requirements, such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and/or compendial requirements that pertain in particular to national or regional jurisdictions.

ISO 13408-6:2005(E) iv © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 13408-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 198, Sterilization of health care products. ISO 13408 consists of the following parts, under the general title Aseptic processing of health care products:  Part 1: General requirements  Part 2: Filtration  Part 3: Lyophilization  Part 4: Clean-in-place technologies  Part 5: Sterilization in place  Part 6: Isolator systems SIST EN ISO 13408-6:2011



ISO 13408-6:2005(E) © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved vIntroduction Health care products that are labelled “sterile” are prepared by using appropriate and validated methods. When a health care product is intended to be sterile and cannot be terminally sterilized, aseptic processing provides an alternative. This applies to the aseptic preparation and filling of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and solids, as well as to the aseptic handling, transfer and filling of those products which cannot be terminally sterilized. Aseptic processing is an exacting and demanding discipline. It is essential that manufacturers make use of qualified/validated systems, adequately trained personnel, controlled environments and well-documented systematic processes to assure a sterile finished product.

NOTE 2 Physical separation can be achieved by an absolute solid wall completely surrounding the entire interior, where any discontinuities in such wall are equipped to physically prevent ingress of contaminants. Examples of such physical protection include pass-through air locks for sterile or bio-decontaminated goods, (HEPA)-filtered (high efficiency particulate air-filter) or sterilized inflow air, and high flow rate of outflow air through a minimal-sized orifice. Operators always remain totally separated from the interior of an isolator by means of an absolute physical barrier. 3.4 isolator system isolator with transfer system(s) and ancillary equipment used for aseptic processing 3.5 leak test physical test to identify a quantifiable leakage rate under repeatable test conditions 3.6 material safety data sheet document specifying the properties of a material, its potential hazardous effects for humans and the environment, and the precautions necessary to handle and dispose of the material safely 3.7 risk assessment overall process comprising a risk analysis and a risk evaluation [ISO 14971:2000, 2.15] 3.8 separative device equipment utilizing constructional and dynamic means to create assured levels of separation between the inside and outside of a defined volume
NOTE Some industry-specific examples of separative devices are clean air hoods, containment enclosures, glove boxes, isolators and mini-environments [ISO 14644-7:2004, 3.17] EXAMPLES For the aseptic processing industry: mouse-hole and cooling zone. 3.9 surrounding environment specific, characterized and controlled area in which an isolator system has been qualified and is operated 3.10 transfer device mechanism to effect movement of material into or out of separative devices while minimizing ingress or egress of unwanted matter [ISO 14644-7:2004, 3.18] EXAMPLES Transfer isolator, transfer container, and transfer system.

ISO 13408-6:2005(E) 4 © ISO 2005 – All rights reserved 5 Design of isolator systems 5.1 General 5.1.1 For the design of isolator systems, ISO 14644-7 shall apply. For design principles of containment enclosures, see ISO 10648-1. 5.1.2 The design of isolator systems shall be justified and documented to establish important operational parameters or key specifications. This shall include a risk assessment to identify critical steps. NOTE 1 Equipment and material transfer is one of the greatest challenges to the isolator processes. NOTE 2 In applications which require both aseptic conditions and protection of the operator, such as the manufacture of bio-hazard, cytotoxic or radioactive products, the design of the isolator system will address pressure (negative or positive) and location and integrity of the isolator system. The design, based on risk assessment, typically considers safety-specific requirements for location and surrounding environment. 5.2 Types of isolators 5.2.1 Closed Closed isolators are operated to exclude exterior contamination from air or other sources. Air from the room shall first pass through a filter, usually a HEPA, before entering the isolator. All materials used in the isolator shall be decontaminated or sterilized. The operator is located exterior to the isolator and works indirectly with material located on the interior of the isolator. Closed isolators shall remain closed during the ingress/egress of materials during operation. 5.2.2 Open Open isolators are similar to closed isolators, except that they shall allow for the continuous or semi-continuous ingress/egress of materials during operation. Design considerations shall include protective measures for the integrity of the isolator’s interior environment. Openings shall be protected by unidirectional air flow and/or air over-pressure. 5.3 Materials of construction 5.3.1 Materials used in the construction, including gasket materials, fans, ventilation systems, piping, viewing windows, and associated fittings shall be chemically and mechanically compatible with the intended processes, process materials, and application. The materials shall be compatible with the cleaning and bio-decontaminating agents and be cleanable. Construction materials shall be considered for protection against corrosion, degradation, and heat/fire resistance, where appropriate. Where appropriate, materials used shall be checked for thermal characteristics, sorption and out-gassing properties. Viewing window (panel) materials shall remain transparent and resistant to degradation and shall allow for proper interior lighting. 5.3.2 Flexible walls should be thick enough to resist puncture and flexible enough to allow the operator to work safely and efficiently. 5.4 Air-handling system 5.4.1 Air change rate The rate of air change shall be appropriate for the specific application. The rate shall be sufficient to ventilate the isolator to avoid the build-up of particulates, contaminants and heat. NOTE An increased rate of air changes is typically used to aid in the removal of the bio-decontaminating agent in a timely manner. SIST EN ISO 13408-6:2011
