Smoke Studies and Sterility Assurance: Understanding the Impact of Annex 1

With the recent implementation of the revised Annex 1, airflow visualization studies, such as Smoke Studies and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), have become indispensable tools in a company’s Contamination Control Strategy (CCS).

These studies are no longer confined to the qualification of cleanrooms and clean air equipment. When conducted rigorously, they offer valuable insights for a range of applications, including:

  • Environmental Monitoring Plan Development:  Optimizing sampling locations for accurate risk assessment.
  • Personnel Training: Enhancing understanding of airflow patterns and their impact on contamination control.
  • Validation of VHP Cycles: Precisely positioning biological and chemical indicators for reliable cycle validation.

But what constitutes a “properly executed study”? To meet regulatory standards and generate scientifically sound data, several key requirements must be met.
