validation team which is responsible for the cycle development, validation
and summary report for this new installed system.
. Performed cycle development for the Tote transfer line and Product
transfer line.
. Independent and team based trouble shooting and investigation of the
issies which are affecting the cleaning cycle development and
validation.
. Generated reference documents and cleaning SOPs from validation
cleaning cycle.
. Wrote technical cleaning evaluation as requested, including MAR
calculation.
. Performed cycle development for the SIP system and prepare the summary
report.

Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Working through Hyde E+C) (July'12-May'14)
Validation Consultant III
Ben Venue Laboratories in Bedford, Ohio is manufacturing Doxil for Janssen
Pharmaceuticals. Doxil is an intravenous prescription medication to treat
multiple myeloma. There was a Doxil shortage in the market due to capacity
constraints of manufacturer. This capacity constraint was the reason of the
equipment failure. As working in the Hyde E+C, our goal was to validate the
cleaning process of BVL so we can eliminate the equipment failure and put
back the Doxil in the market ASAP. As a Validation Consultant III, I was
responsible for reviewing Cleaning Verification, Cycle development Protocol
and producing the Cleaning Validation Protocol for Parts Washer.
. Developed SOPs for TOC Swab, Visual Inspection, Conductivity Meter and
For GDP.
. Reviewed Cleaning Verification Protocol and upgraded it the changes
which can improve the cleaning of Vessels and Parts Washer.
. Sampled Parts Washer, Vessels and Manual Cleaned Equipments and
Submitted Those Samples to QC.
. Prepared Summary Report for the Cleaning Verification Protocol.
. Prepared Protocol for Visual Baseline of Vessels, Low Pressure Study
and Summary Report of them.
. Used MS Project for scheduling the cleaning and sampling for
Validation Runs.
. Worked Closely with Amicon Skid cleaning and Pump cart.
. Developed New Cycle for Parts Washer and from its successful
Implementation, we performed Validation of Parts Washer.
. Developed Method For TOC Swab and Prepared SOP for It.
. Developed Cleaning Validation Protocol for Parts Washer and Vessels.
. Found the Resolution Action for Discrepancies and Deviation during
these studies.
. Use Minitab for generating charts of Conductivity, TOC and Endotoxin
Results.
