Week 17: One more way to draw a centrifugal pump.

🔹 What it is: A centrifugal pump shown with its volute and impeller emphasised.

🔹 Spot it: A rounded volute casing wrapping the impeller circle.

🔹 In a pharma plant: The same liquid-moving duty across the plant.

🔹 Why it matters for validation: Knowing the variants prevents misreading equipment on a drawing.

Bite Size Pharma News Episode 5 — What Does Pfizer Actually Make in Ireland?

Most people have heard of Pfizer. Far fewer know what's actually happening at their sites in Cork, Dublin and Kildare.

👉 Cork makes the chemical core of medicines — active pharmaceutical ingredients.
👉 Dublin's Grange Castle manufactures biologics and vaccines, including the Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine, at one of the largest biopharmaceutical plants in the world.
👉 And Kildare produces over 80 solid dose products — tablets and capsules — exported to patients in more than 100 countries.

This episode breaks down what's made at each site, why Ireland became such a significant location for Pfizer, and what it means for people who want to work there.

Donagh has made a great video on “Qualification” and “Validation”, which are two words that are used interchangeably throughout the pharmaceutical and medical device industry.

In layman’s language, the terms mean checking and testing equipment and processes. Then document these tests to prove consistent performance. The goal is to establish a documented paper trail with multiple signatures from all relevant departments.

However, there are differences between them.

Qualification is normally used for equipment and utilities, while validation is used for processes. You validate a process on equipment that has been qualified! Despite these differences, validation and qualification are essential components of the same concept and in general, follow similar underlying principles.

Here is a “Rule of Thumb” 👍

Things are qualified (equipment, pipework, instruments, utilities and ancillary systems)
Things that are validated (manufacturing process, cleaning, computer systems and tests)

📖 Term of the Week: Functional Specification 👇

Describes the functions a system needs to meet each requirement - how it works and what data it captures. It turns 'what we need' into 'what it does'.

💾 One to save for later.
