Pharmaceuticals - UV pass box validation


Expert: Michael Anisfeld - 2/21/2008

Question
Dear Sir,
Do we need to validate the time  of UV exposure in the pass box?  Since all sterilized materials, need to taken inside the clean room are kept under UV for outer surface sterilization for about 15-20 minutes usually.

Answer
UV is not used in passboxes in the USA or in Europe.

Better to double wrap the materials being passed through. Clean the outside of the outerbag with 70% sterile isopropanol before placing the material in the passbox. When needed, from the clean side, reach into the passbox and remove the inner bag from the outer bag and clean its outside with 70% sterile isopropanol
