Validate cleaning cycle C-12 for removal of DBX-100 residue from blender BL-07.
DBX-100 is selected as worst case based on potency and lowest solubility in the product group.
Maximum allowable carryover is 8.5 ug/cm2 after recovery correction.

Execute three consecutive successful cleaning runs after routine manufacture.
All swabs must be below calculated residue limit and visually clean.
QA-approved deviations are required before final report issuance.
