Hi igormileta,
For validation micro samples should be taken as well. After that verification can be by using ATP swabs/rinses alone with periodic micro monitoring.
If you have a suitable sample point then a sample of the water rinse is usually a good indicator of cleaning effectiveness for equipment that is cleaned in place (CIP).
Swabs are good for items that are manually cleaned or parts whose hygiene is important for product quality/safety and also parts that are difficult to clean that you want to monitor closely.
Filler pipes are a common area to target because of their importance to the hygiene of the product.
Kind regards,
Tony
