Quality

KIRO® Oncology

“The definition of a qualification protocol for such complex equipment as a compounding robot is a necessary prerequisite to assess its performance prior to starting a production phase.(22)”

 

✓

Detect specific accuracy issues related to drugs formulations or packaging (drug withdrawal accuracy within ±5% for 99.32% of 3403 total preparations )(17)

✓

Validate aseptic process according to the GMP and adapt cleaning standard procedures(17)

✓

Assess chemical contamination risk (no contamination on the surface of the end-products) and identify worst cases(17)

✓

Simulation of workload and workflow to ensure the use in its best performance configuration(17)

✓

Qualification prerequisites: balance and hood (laminar flow speeds, particle counting and filter integrity tests)(20)

✓

Pumps qualification (accuracy between 95% and 105% of the target volume)(20)

✓

Qualification with placebos (94,5% of 54 bags within the ±10% IE, 100% of 48 syringes within the ±10% IE, and 100% of 24 elastomeric pumps within the ±5% IE)(20)

✓

Microbiological qualification in compliance with ISO 7 environment specification (environmental control, glove impressions and Media Fill test with no growth)(20)

 

KIRO® Isolator

“The rise of automation in the healthcare sector offers a safe alternative to manual processes, helping to maintain the safety and quality of preparations. This led to the idea of enclosing a robot within the controlled environment of an isolator, at the premises of the Institut Curie(22)”

 

Advantages of an Insolator:
✓

Preparations can be stored for longer periods than those from hood systems (limited to 24-48 hours)(22)

✓

Includes a hydrogen peroxide vapor generator that ensures the biodecontamination of materials in the entry airlock(22)

✓

In accordance with Good Preparation Practices, a positive pressure isolator can be installed in a class D clean room (as opposed to a class B or C for a hood)(22)

Production phase:
✓

The process has been designed to guarantee the safety of the user and the final product(30)

✓

The preparations in advance considerably thins the waiting time for patients(30)

✓

The isolator allows the anticipated preparation of standardized doses of chemotherapies quickly(30)
