and 500 mL containers and 1,700 per hour at 1,000 mL. Note; that changing sizes of the
containers takes less than 30 minutes.
The IV production facility has been designed to allow for the local production of almost
any type of IV solutions at a quality level that exceeds the International Standards for IV
solutions.
Water Supply
The facility can use the water from the local supply system of the city, if available, or it
can come from a well driven on the property. Before any design work is done on the
water treatment process, the raw water is tested for over 130 compounds. These tests
must be conducted on a routine basis to assure that the quality of the water coming into
the facility remains constant and that the pre-treatment of the water is designed correctly.
If a change in source water quality is detected during testing, adjustments to the PreTreatment process should be made by the plant laboratory staff.
Pre-Treatment
Pre-Treatment of the source water is composed of a series of filters that can perform a
number of functions including the removal of particulate matter (including large
bacteria), softening of water, and adjustments of pH. Removal of some minerals may also
occur in this process. Each SBT Pre-Treatment process is specifically tailored as required
by the quality of the source water. The Quality Assurance program requires the plant
laboratory staff to test the output of the Pre-Treatment process every day that Water for
Injection (WFI) is made.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis (R/O), also known as hyper filtration, removes of particles as small as
dissolved individual ions from a solution. R/O is used to purify water and remove ions
and dissolved organic molecules. R/O uses a membrane that is semi-permeable, allowing
the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting the contaminants that
remain. Most R/O technology uses a process known as cross flow to allow the membrane
to continually clean itself. As some of the fluid passes through the membrane the rest
continues downstream, sweeping the rejected species away from the membrane, in
concentrated brine reject water. The process of reverse osmosis requires a driving force to
push the fluid through the membrane to reverse natural osmotic flow, and the most
common force is pressure from a pump. The higher the pressure, the larger the driving
force. As the concentration of the fluid being rejected increases, the driving force
required to continue concentrating the fluid increases. Please note that the reject water
will be used for domestic and sanitary water within the facility for toilet flushing,
washing and other functions
Pure Steam Generator
Helps to purify the WFI, as well as provides the steam needed to clean and sterilize the
machinery and to maintain the temperature level of the solutions in the systems.

Water for Injection
Generally referred to as WFI, is generated by utilizing either a multi stage still or a vapor
compression system. The system to be used for this contact will be determined by the
quality of the municipal water. The vapor compression system is more energy efficient
but may require more maintenance as moving parts wear with use.
Water Piping System
This system of stainless steel pipes with polished interior walls deliver the WFI water to a
consolidation point where the WFI and chemicals are mixed before entry to the Form Fill
Seal machines in the class 100,000 clean room. All the valves and pumps that are
involved are electronically monitored by the quality control system of the facility.
Continuous blending system
This replaces the batch tanks and is less of a capital cost and takes up less space in the
facility
Form/Fill/Seal Equipment
The FFS equipment is located in a class 10,000 clean room but has a secondary soft wall
that separates the rear of the machine from the main clean room. This is installed for
several reasons, including sound level control, isolation of the hydraulic lines from the
front of the clean room, (if one should rupture the operator will only have to clean a small
area and no products would be contaminated), and finally better heat control in the clean
room. Coming into the FFS units, above the ceiling of the clean room, are pipes carrying
the WFI with its added chemicals to the machine. As stated before, there are also steam
lines coming to the FFS for the clean in place steam and sterilization processes.
Included in the FFS units is various electrical, optical and mechanical testing or
inspection points where the product is inspected as it is being produced. The system will
alert the operator of any detected problems so corrections can be made quickly.
Label Application
The IV production systems print the label information directly onto the containers as part
of the production process. Each label consists of information for users or consumers and
a bar coded portion for tracking of the product to meet international standards. Exact
label content will depend upon government requirements.
Overwrap
A protective overwrap is placed over the entire IV bag; this is an option and may not
have to be done on all production runs. This is an option and is not always used. The
market needs must be checked to determine is this overwrap is necessary in the marketing
area, (India and surrounding countries)
Autoclaves
The filled bags are placed into the autoclave on specially designed rack and cart system.
The products are terminally sterilized at high pressure and temperature, 2 atmospheres at
121 C, in the autoclave for the time required by the required national standards. This time

SBT
can vary from 12 to 20 minutes once the proper temperature is reached. The autoclave
has and access door inside of and outside of the clean room, and acts as the product pass
point out of the clean room. All the temperature and time data on each autoclave cycle is
automatically recorded in the plants computerized Quality Assurance records. By design,
both doors on the autoclave cannot be opened at the same time, thus always insuring that
the clean room environment is always maintained. After the autoclave process, the empty
racks are returned to the autoclave where they are flashed sterilized before being reused
in the clean room.
Packaging
The bags of IV solution and bottled water are packaged in cardboard boxes for shipping.
The owner must determine the count for each box, 12 units per box are suggested but 24
units per box maybe required larger clients. Each box is bar coded with the type of
product in the box, date of manufacturer, batch number, expiration date, and the number
of containers. This allows for a simple record keeping system, accuracy in shipping, and
accuracy in billing. When each box is filled with the correct number of units the box is
sealed, using a semi-automatic tape system. The full boxes are placed on a pallet for
movement into a quarantine storage area. This storage area is a designated spot in the
production section of the warehouse where the production batches are stored for a 14 day
quarantine period. The product is moved to the designated warehouse area using either a
manual or electric jack/lift unit.
Warehouse
The warehouse is set up to fully capitalize on different technologies utilized in the total
production process. This record keeping system is used for government audits, quality
control on the final products and customer data. When product is shipped, the order is
received from the sales department at the warehouse desk, where it is printed out. The
print out includes what product type, lot number and location of the solutions plus the
shipping label(s) for the boxes and packing list. This action automatically adjusts the
inventory system prompting additional production activity.
All materials coming into the facility from outside sources is recorded via the computer
system, which matches the material received with what was ordered, and designates
where the material is to be stored until needed. This material includes plastic resins,
component parts, boxes, paper goods, chemicals or other items. The receipt of any item
that is used in a product will trigger a work request for the laboratory to perform quality
assurance testing on the material ensuring that it meets or exceed the specifications on the
purchase order and the facility quality assurance documentations. The material is only
moved to storage when it has passed the QA testing. If the material fails to pass the
testing, it is returned to the vendor for replacement. As part of the tracking system, each
container of material will be labeled with the work order number that was used to test the
material.
Computer Network
The computer network will be a wireless system, based off a Windows server. Terminals
will be located in selected areas, such as the laboratory, finance, administration, and
shipping/receiving. All systems will be password protected so data will not be
compromised. Printers will be also located where needed. The computer display can be in

SBT
the local language or in English. SBT will have a connection to the computer system so
the quality programs can be monitored as part of any ongoing agreement between the
owner and SBT.
The Quality Assurance Laboratory
The Quality Assurance Laboratory will be equipped with the necessary analyzers,
incubators, microscopes and other equipment required to maintain the ISO 9000
standards plus all purity requirements of the various governmental departments.
The QA programs that are carried out by both the laboratory and SBT will meet or exceed
all international standards for quality, and will be the cornerstone of the marketing
program for the solutions both in and outside of the country.
Unlike the IV production plants of other designs, the SBT plant limits the amount of
product handling by workers and vastly reduces chances of contamination getting into the
manufacturing process.
Chemical Storage
This secure space is used to store at least 5 days of chemicals for production. These
chemical containers have all passed the QA inspections and are held in a secure area
ready to be used in the production process. As the chemicals are removed from the area
for mixing, new chemicals are brought into the area for future use only after passing the
QA testing.
Bulk Storage
In this area, the plastic resins, a 30 day supply of chemicals, and a 15 day supply of boxes
are kept. By limiting the space used for this type of storage, the facility owner gets a
much better value from the building. SBT suggests that the owner work with its suppliers
to have them deliver as needed instead of in bulk.
Utilities
The plant will require water, and estimated 100,000 liters per day from an on site bore
hole, a 1,500 amp electrical service, note that alternate energy sources are being
investigated, wind and solar, but are not included in this proposal. Natural gas to be used
by a standby electric generator and to power the steam generators and still would be good
but not necessary. If the location chosen can support wind turbines they should be
considered. They are not included in the cost of the project.
Quality Assurance Programs
The quality system used in the production of IV solutions is very comprehensive in that it
conforms to the EU requirements and ISO 9000 requirements.
Each area of the production process has specific checks that are performed for each batch
being manufactured. SBT uses a specially designed bar code system, developed for SBT
by Valuetrak. The system is networked to the management information system for
purchasing support, reporting any problems that involve a product supplied by a
contracted provider plus numerous records required for validation of the products.

SBT
A purchase order is issued for a specific chemical, in the purchase order the exact
compound is specified with both the word name and chemical formula. When the
product is received at the plant the labeling of the container, is compared with the
chemical name and formula provided on the shipping document to the purchase order.
All this date is entered into the system. Also, on chemicals, a random sample(s) is taken
from each lot number of the shipment and analyzed in the lab, confirming the correct
chemical is in the container shipped from the supplier.
When chemicals are prepared for a production batch the information is recorded on
which chemicals, they are weighed per the formulary, mixed dry, in most cases, and the
final mix is sampled, verified in the QA lab before being put into the mixing tank.
Depending upon the formulary for the production the chemicals are diluted with WFI
water to a certain level. Again the concentration is checked in the QA lab. If the mixture
conforms to the formulary the final dilution is then done in the tanks. After the final
dilution is completed the final concentration in the solution is tested in the QA lab. If
correct the solutions is release for production. Corrections can be made to the solutions
to bring them into conformity with the formulary at any point up to the release for
production.
Once the solution mixture is released for production all the data is stored in the QA file
on that batch. This information has to be maintained for a minimum of 7 years so the file
is encrypted preventing any changes.
The plastic raw material used in the production of the containers follows a similar process
as the chemicals except the lab probably cannot chemically analyze the plastic pellets.
An alternate method of verification of the pellets would be used based on weight and
conductivity.
On the water side of the production testing is done on the raw water coming into the
system for the levels of minerals found in the initial tests plus any additional
hydrocarbons that may have been introduced into the supply by outside sources. This
testing includes the pH level of the water. After the pre-treatment step the water is again
tested to be sure the hydrocarbons have been removed and the pH balanced to the needs
of the formulary to be produced.
After the R/O step, the water is again tested to be sure that the minerals have been
removed or reduced to a level that they do no effect the formulary.
The steam generator is constantly monitors for temperature and pressures while the
output of the still in monitored via resistance measurements to assure the water is WFI
quality. Water that does not meet the WFI standard is returned to the input for additional
processing.
All monitored parameters are automatically entered into the QA database along with any
derived or computed information from various instruments. This document is tagged
with the batch number and combined with the chemical information described above into
an encrypted record.

SBT
The products are sampled per validation requirements for consistency, including
formulary of the solutions.
The autoclave is monitored for temperature, pressure and time and all automatically
recorded into the database.
The final production test is the bacterial over warp that is applied to the containers before
being placed into boxes for shipment to users. Here a certain number of containers will
be selected for retention at the facility for a period of time as a quality standard for that
batch.
Again all the monitored steps are included automatically into the database and
computed/measured steps by humans are entered.
GMP, Validation & Documentation
SBT will also provide the owner/operator with the following documents:
All manuals of equipment and equipment specifications
All GMP standard operating procedures (SOPs)

the manufacturer) and quality requirements for all products used in the production of
solutions, and test procedures.
All equipment is connected to the computer system so all steps are systematically
monitored and reports generated. SBT will be able to query the computer from its
corporate and/or regional office to monitor any production problems and suggest any
necessary corrective actions to maintain the quality level of the products.
Training
When the installation is completed, SBT personnel will train the owner/operators staff
on how to operate the machines, follow procedures, create reports, conduct maintenance
of the machines, and prepare validation documents as needed. It is projected that SBT
will provide a training staff of 1 to 4 people for 1 to 8 weeks, dependent on the
knowledge of the staff members and how quickly the staff becomes comfortable with the
processes. Training will be conducted exclusively in English. The services of a translator,
if desired, will be paid for by the Owner. All training will be done at the project site.

Main Quality Control Laboratory Equipment

As an essential part of the quality assurance program, a testing laboratory is included in
the turnkey project. This area is completely separate from any of the manufacturing
space, and should be at least 30 square meters and be on an outside wall so the fume hood
can be easily vented. The space should be under positive pressure at all times from the
ventilation system.
