Addressing Cross-Contamination in
Packaging
Agenda
1. Pre-existing cross contamination risks
2. Cross-contamination risks during
renovations
3. Final design to address cross-
contamination risks

Pre-existing Challenges: • Bulk/component
staging area • Common hallways • Product exposure • Fit & Finish • Lack of full
segregation btw/Pack Lines

Renovation Nation: Design Objectives & No Drug
Shortages
• Meet or exceed ISPE guidelines for Fit & Finish
• Deliver fully segregated packaging lines • Identify and Mitigate risks from cross
contamination • Deliver solution to address future
Serialization and Aggregation requirements • DO NOT ADVERSLY IMPACT ON-GOING
PACKAGING AND MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

Mitigating Cross-contamination Risks during
Construction
• Containment Plans
o Hard containment walls vs. plastic
o Negative pressure to keep particulate matter inside construction area – directly exhausted to outside
o Magnehelic gauge to confirm airflow
o Monitored by QA daily for compliance to plan
o Air-monitoring for VP and NVP
• Gowning requirements for construction zones
