Title: Maximum Safe Carry-Over (MSCO) Determination

Department Validation/Technical Services Document no VAL-195


Prepared by: Date: Supersedes:
Checked by: Date: Date Issued:
Approved by: Date: Review Date:

A PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to instruct the user on the operations required in order to conduct a
Maximum Safe Carry-Over Determination (MSCO) for a piece of equipment or product equipment
grouping.

B SCOPE
The scope of this SOP is limited to instructing the user on how to conduct a MSCO determination,
following documented risk assessment of the materials and products to be processed on a piece of
equipment or product equipment train.

C RESPONSIBILITITY
1 The Validation Engineer and/or Supervisor is responsible for obtaining true, compliant data for
conducting a Maximum Allowable Carry Over (MACO). They are responsible for following the
calculation process as defined in this SOP and for review of the MACO calculations generated by
peers.
2 The Quality Assurance Manager(s) and/or Quality Manager are responsible for review of the
MACO calculations and formal acceptance of the indicated results for reference in future studies.

D PROCESS SPECIFIC INFORMATION

1. Regulations

Regulatory References which govern the actions outlined in this SOP are contained below.

1.1 PIC/S Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) - 15 January 2009, PE 009-8.

1.1.1 Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products - Part II, Chapter 12:
Section 12.7

1.1.2 Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products Annexes, Annex 15:
Qualification and Validation, Clauses 36 - 42
2. Guidelines
The guidelines utilized for reference for this SOP are included below

2.1 Guideline on setting health based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the
manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities (EMA, 2014)

2.2 ICH Topic Q3C (R4) Impurities: Guideline for Residual Solvents (EMA, 2009)

E. BACKGROUND AND CALCULATION INFORMATION

1. Guideline for MSCO Calculation


1.1 The MSCO calculation is derived from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines for
compliance with European Union (EU) GMP regulations regarding cleaning validation. This is
required for product which is exported to regions governed by EU GMP regulations. The
previous term utilized for calculating residue limits “Maximum Allowable Carry-Over” (MACO)
has been replaced with Maximum Safe Carry-Over, owing to the derivation of the value from
the Permitted Daily Exposure calculations.

6.2.1 It should be noted that this formula (adapted from the “guidance on aspects of cleaning
validation inactive pharmaceutical ingredient plants” (APIC, 2000)) should only be
utilized where toxicological data has not been found available.
1.3 The use of this equation in place of toxicological assessment data should be considered
based on the risk of the target species.
1.4 As an additional alternative, the Low Observed Adverse Effect Level (LOAEL) may be utilized
to calculate the NOAEL. The LOAEL can be obtained from the Minimum Therapeutic Dose
value (reported in appropriate scientific literature). If the LOAEL is utilized in the PDE
calculation, then an F5 factor of 10 must be used (refer to section 2 for greater detail).
2. F – Value Assumptions for PDE
The assumptions for the F-values chosen for calculations are indicated in the sections below.
Select the appropriate F – values corresponding to the toxicological data/NOAEL/LOAEL
source as described in section F1. Each F-value selection should be justified as per the
guidance below or based on the risk of the target species.
2.1 The F1 Factor is for extrapolation of data between (animal) species.
 F1 = 5 for extrapolation from rats to humans
 F1 = 12 for extrapolation from mice to humans
 F1 = 2 for extrapolation from dogs to humans
 F1 = 2.5 for extrapolation from rabbits to humans
 F1 = 3 for extrapolation from monkeys to humans
 F1 = 10 for extrapolation from other animals to humans
2.2 The F2 factor is nominally a factor of 10 to account for variability between individuals
 A factor of 10 is generally given for all organic solvents, and 10 is typically used
consistently in guidelines.
2.3 The F3 factor is a variable factor to account for toxicity studies of short-term exposure
 F3 = 1 for studies that last at least one half lifetime (1 year for rodents or rabbits; 7
years for cats, dogs and monkeys).
 F3 = 1 for reproductive studies in which the whole period of organogenesis is covered.
 F3 = 2 for a 6-month study in rodents, or a 3.5-year study in non-rodents.
 F3 = 5 for a 3-month study in rodents, or a 2-year study in non-rodents.
 F3 = 10 for studies of a shorter duration. In all cases, the higher factor has been used
for study durations between the time points, e.g., a factor of 2 for a 9-month rodent
study.
2.4 F4 is a factor that may be applied in cases of severe toxicity, e.g., non-genotoxic
carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity or teratogenicity. In studies of reproductive toxicity, the following
factors are used:
 F4 = 1 for fetal toxicity associated with maternal toxicity
 F4 = 5 for fetal toxicity without maternal toxicity F4 = 5 for a teratogenic effect with
maternal toxicity
