1.0 INTRODUCTION (SCOPE)

This document defines only the user requirements for the Bioreactor System. Electronic
Records and Electronic Signature (ER/ES), security and other types of common
requirements, as well as user requirements of other process cells, are covered elsewhere
in the System Level User Requirements Specifications for the Process Control System.
Delegate from Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. is the author. The document is the first
step in the project life cycle and clarifies the goals of this project. This life cycle consists
of key quality deliverables documenting the design, development and implementation of
the Bioreactor System.
This document will only cover the typical user process requirements for the Bioreactor
Skid, Bioreactor Utility Skid and ancillary equipment.
Refer to the Equipment Validation Plan that outlines the Suppliers responsibilities as
attached.
This is to be utilized as a guide for the user to answer the majority of questions involved
in specifying the what for the equipment. Addendums may be used to round out the
requirements.

2.0 OVERVIEW
This document encompasses the normal range of the Bioreactor System and ancillary
equipment operations.
2.1
Use: Describe what applications the equipment/system will be used to support.

Include a brief explanation of the general functions.
2.1.1
The purpose of the Bioreactor System is to perform cell growth in a

controlled environment to quantity and concentration suitable for harvest.
The Bioreactor is located in the process area and will be operated in batch
mode. Product will be transferred from here to the purification suite. It
can also be discarded to Biowaste.
2.1.2
Cells are transferred into the media filled batch reactor via air pressure and
are then cultured in the bioreactor system under closed conditions. The
inoculum for this reactor is grown in the bioreactor and is pneumatically
transferred into the downstream process. Media can be supplied to this
reactor from any of the Media Preparation Vessels through a series of
transfer panels. Caustic, Antifoam, and nutrients are supplied from
Portable Vessels, using either peristaltic pumps or air pressure to
accomplish the transfer.
The mass spectrometer analyzes the bioreactor sparge, overlay, and vent
gases. Samples of the bioreactor culture are analyzed in the Quality lab
for cell density, pH, and viability. The sterility lab is used to test the
sterility of the culture.
2.1.3
2.2
Capacity: Provide a brief description of the equipment/system capacity

requirements.
2.2.1 The equipment shall be capable of producing XYZ product continuously,
over an 8-hour shift.
3.0 OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

This Section shall state the operational requirements: system functions, data and
interfaces. It shall also define the environment in which the system must operate.
Critical requirements shall be specifically identified as such. Include process descriptions
and flowcharts as appropriate.
