Fitration process - sterile eye drops

Quality Assurance
1

Dear all,
If I have sterile products which are clear liquids and homogeneous solution, can I use 0.2micron filter in series for filtration process.(No pre filter 0.45micron).??
The 2nd housing filter will act as my final filter (main filter) and 1st housing filter will be as a supportive filter…
Filter integrity will be checked basically for main filter…
Thanks

If there is no viscous product or no problem in filtration rate u can use 0.2 micron cartridge filter in series.

Rotate the disinfectant on weekly basis.
Teepol can be used for equipment washing.
Mop the wall, ceiling with schedule disinfectant on weekly basis.
Mop the floor with schedule disinfectant on daily basis.
Clean the filling machine with wfi and then disinfect with 70%IPA.
Fumigation is banned now so fogging can be done with 0.5 % minncare or 20% virosil.

In case of 24 hour production , you should give at least 4 hour hold time after fogging.
