Introduction
This management system establishes protocols for clean room operations in radiopharmaceutical production plants. Strict adherence ensures product sterility, personnel safety, and regulatory compliance.
Scope
Applies to all personnel, equipment, and procedures within radiopharmaceutical production clean rooms.
Objective
Prevent contamination, ensure product integrity, and maintain radiation safety standards.
Critical Components
- Air purification systems
- Personnel protocols
- Environmental monitoring
1Preparation Before Production
a Surface Cleaning
Thoroughly wipe floors, work surfaces, control cabinets, and all dust-prone areas with wet clean cloths.
b Air Purification
Activate air purification system with UV sterilization for minimum 1 hour before production.
c Entry Protocol
Personnel may enter only after 1 hour of air purification system operation.
d Material Transfer
Transfer production materials through designated logistics ports after thorough cleaning.
e Personnel Attire
- Wear clean room-specific garments and footwear
- Cover all hair, beards, and feet completely
- Wear masks covering nose and mouth
- Shower before entry
f Personal Hygiene
- No makeup, jewelry, or accessories
- Maintain short hair and nails
- No entry for personnel with infections or skin conditions
g Environmental Checks
Verify temperature, humidity, and pressure differentials meet requirements. Document readings before production.
