PyroGel
Introduction
PyroGel is the first computer-aided gel-clot testing system for
endotoxin contamination measurement, control, and tracking, which provides Total
Compliance & Quality Management for the users.
Gel-clot procedure is the reference technique in LAL-endotoxin
testing. On the one hand it is the pillar of BET, while on the other-hand it has
many inherent weaknesses that increased the value of alternate determinations.
PyroGel brings new capabilities to gel-clot procedure and bring its value closer
to alternate quantitative techniques.
Key Features
- 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance
- no buts and ifs,
- Wizard Technology with integrated HTML
- 3F-interface,
form-function-fulfilment with zero-learning-burden and multiple language
option,
- PyroTherm
- is a computer integrated heating block with multitube (
4 x 12 or 8 x 12) capability. Temperature range is from room temperature + 4C
to 250 C with programmable cooling & timing control,
- PyroTherm calibration
- integrated temperature calibration assures
temperature compliance requirement,
- PyroTherm validation
- depyrogenation validation is supported
through integrated challenge studies
- Multi-point temperature monitoring
- PyroGel monitors temperature
conditions at 8 different points. Real-time visualization and documentation
provides meaningful support to temperature compliance,
- Reagent Performance
- lysate related stability characteriscs are
documented and monitored,
- Standard Performance
- multiple reconstitution of Endotoxin standard
is monitored and its stability characteristics can be evaluated,
- Depyrogenation
- reaction & dilution tubes can be depyrogenated
within the block; depyrogenation conditions are documentated and stored in the
database,
- Challenge
- specific protocol supports challenge studies. Automatic
calculation provides final results,
- Sensitivity-Limit-Assay
- all gel-clot test protocols are supported
by PyroGel,
- Sample loading
- PyroGel wizard supports automatic & manual
loading of the samples,
- Supplies & Equipment
- each item used during testing can be
registered in the database for later evaluation including vendor
qualification,
- Smart Method Validation
- you can model the method development
process to support your validation,
- Automatic calculation
- after data entry the program automatically
calculates qualification requirements and finished results,
- SQL database
- your information is stored in SQL database for
security and effective query capability,
- SQC
- Statistical Quality Control models are integrated into
PyroGel. You will be able to establish an effective quality control and
quality assurance program, which will assist you to maintain a compliant
system.
- Upgrading to PyroSuite
- Integrate PyroSolution, PyroGel, PyroDoQ,
Epsilon, and LAL competency training to solve all your endotoxin testing
requirements, including:
- Gel-clot, kinetics, and end-point testing results can be reviewed,
modelled, correlated by integrating SQL databases,
- Add PyroGel to improve your gel-clot testing with in-situ
depyrogenation, multi-point temperature monitoring, 21 CFR Part 11
documentation,
- Design Qualify (DQ) your kinetic testing to reduce OOS,
- Add competency training courses to meet compliance & improve
performance of your analysts.
- Rapid OOS Investigation (ROI) - ROI also means Return-On-Investment,
which is the bottom line for using PyroSuite. Just think, you can get the
with the click of the mouse:
- All batch numbers related to the specific OOS
- All SOPs related to the OOS with full SOP analysis for deviations
- All employees’ competencies with their training records &
training results,
- Relevant listings of the trouble making equipment, employee, and/or
process steps.

PyroGel offers flexible environment & tools for number of
applications, including:
- Pharmaceutical & biotechnology,
- Medical device,
- Clinical, and
- Environmental.
System requirements
- Intel Pentium 200 MHz processor
- 64 MB memory
- CD ROM drive
- 150 MB free hard disk space

DQ-IQ-OQ-PQ and 21 CFR part 11
Regulatory compliance in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and
medical device, industries is the foundation of good business practices.
DQ-IQ-OQ-PQ documents for PyroGel provide significant support to reduce the risk
of non-compliance.
DQ (Design Qualification) - is the foundation of good science & good
compliance practices. You cannot get more out of a system that has been
built into it. DQ is the tool & methodology to make the evaluation of
suitability for specific requirements, including worst-case-scenario. DQ
also provides the baseline for meaningful Performance Qualification (PQ)
monitoring; without DQ, PQ flounders, it does not exist. 21 CFR Part 11
compliance is a major functionality relative to Design Qualification.
In the first part let us consider what may be the most important questions to ask relative to 21
CFR Part 11 DQ.
DQ supports the functional
& quality specifications designed into PyroGel. Documentary proof of DQ
compliance includes:
- Software Validation Plan,
- Software Validation Summary,
- 21 CFR Part 11 Validation Summary,
- Measurement Performance Design Summary, and
- Measurement Compliance Summary.
IQ (Installation Qualification) - IQ supports the
requirement for proper installation and acceptance qualification for PyroGel.
Documentary proof of IQ compliance includes:
- Receipt & acceptance checklist,
- Physical & electrical compliance checklist,
- Environmental compliance checklist,
- Training compliance checklist, and
- Final IQ Summary.
OQ (Operational Qualification) - OQ supports the
specification compliant functioning of the system. Documentary proof of OQ
compliance includes:
- 21 CFR Part 11 operational specification checklist,
- Software operational specification checklist,
- Instrument interface operational specification checklist,
- Instrument operational specification checklist, and
- Final OQ Summary.
PQ (Performance Qualification) - PQ supports quality
evaluation & quality compliance management of the system. PQ compliance
models include:
- 21 CFR Part 11 compliance models,
- SQC models for instrument qualification review,
- SQC models for method qualification review,
- SQC models for vendor qualification review, and
- SQC models for OOS investigations.
