Following a discussion of the regulations to be followed in the microbiological control of water processing and distribution systems, this work focuses on practical aspects in the pharmaceutical environment and gives advice on the methodology to be used, e.g., for sampling, the selection of nutrient media, incubation conditions, and identification of contaminants. It also describes trend analysis strategies and quality assurance to help you ensure consistent validation of water processing and distribution systems. The practices here were developed in a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility that produces drugs for parenteral use. The design, installation, and operation of a system to produce Purified Water and Water for Injection is presented and the practical aspects of microbiological monitoring is discussed.
