Validation is an essential element of the Quality System Regulations and ISO 13485. This course dwells into the processes that need to be validated and what steps are needed to validate the processes. You’ll also learn the essentials of validation planning, protocol writing, and change management. We’ll take a deep dive into all the steps […]

Pharma companies use Learning Management Systems (LMS) as vital tool for demonstrating to regulatory authorities that they are maintaining and ensuring their staff training efforts are up-to-date. Most LMS systems frequently claim unlimited functionality and scalability but have limitations that companies should be aware of in order for them to overcome and be able to […]

Instrumental gas chromatography as an analysis is widely used to determine purity, the impurities, and the degradation products of pharmaceuticals. The focus of most validation work is on the methodology, the standard operating procedure (SOP). But validation of the instrumentation and other associated items of column, solvents, and other reagents and chemicals is also an […]

Objectionable microorganisms associated with a medical device or pharmaceutical product can cause a serious illness to a patient. By testing and identifying these mircoorganisms early in the manufacturing processes, controls can be put into place to prevent harm to the patients. Objectionable microorganisms are considered, if discovered, harmful to the patients. By identifying and controlling […]

This course will provide participants with a thorough understanding of the requirements of process validation for both small molecule (pharmaceuticals) and Biologic products. They will learn how to establish an effective process validation system and integrate it with other systems such as Risk Management, Corrective and Preventive Action and Supplier Management. Participants will learn how […]

There are many different types of microbial contamination that can occur in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Some of the sources include: water, raw materials, excipients, in-process materials and samples, the manufacturing process, the product itself, and the general manufacturing environment. As such, there is no one size fits all investigation. Microbiological testing covers a wide range of […]

Companies want to transition to electronic records but are afraid of compromising their quality system and receiving 483’s at their next inspection. Part of this fear originates from confusion. FDA originally published a rather severe 21 CFR Part 11. After industry complaints the FDA acknowledged that the regulation, as written, would result in nobody attempting […]

The effective and progressive use of a Screening DOE, a Mapping DOE and a Robust Process DOE will lead to a better understanding of the process and the location of the best optimum. NOTE: This webinar does not focuses on statistical methods, analysis of variance, and other techniques, but rather focuses on DOE strategies and […]

This training program will discuss the concept and application of uncertainty of measurement (MU) as required by ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005 for laboratory accreditation, from a practical microbiological perspective, using unambiguous language and useful examples. Laboratories are often confused about the uncertainty of measurement (MU). Further ambiguity on the subject arises as to: What is needed […]

Aseptic techniques are used to create compounded sterile products. In Microbiological term; Aseptic technique refers to prevention of microorganism contamination. This activity is most important for successfully manufacturing safe and sterile therapeutics. Continuous cleaning, meticulous processing, sterile apparel and use of specialized equipment are involved in these procedures. However, by overlooking these techniques by staff […]
