Pharmaceutical Process Validation: Best Practices for Success – Webinar Recording/Transcript
Product Details
Process validation success starts here.
While it’s true that the FDA is taking a tougher stance on deficiencies relating to current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), you can avoid the inevitable warning letters and potential production stoppages and recalls. Shore up your process validation with the best practices in this webinar.
It will enable you to understand the importance of process validation throughout your product’s lifecycle, from concept, development, scale-up and production through decommissioning.
Best of all, it will empower you to identify, control and ultimately reduce variability at every step. All while increasing homogeneity within and between lots.
John E. Lincoln, principal of J.E. Lincoln and Associates, will share how to uncover any lack of sufficient or targeted risk-based process verification and validation planning/execution – a major flaw for many.
By examining the FDA’s process validation guidance document and the must-have elements from ISO 14971:2019 (Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices) as a model for a pharmaceutical version and ICH Q9 – Quality Risk Management for hazard analysis, patient/product/process risk management and risk-based decisions, Mr. Lincoln will help you to integrate process validation essentials into your quality management system (QMS).
When you know the process to reduce variation, grow in-process knowledge and improve product-critical quality attributes that lead to improved overall quality, you’ll ensure reliability, consistency and efficacy. And success.
Presentation Takeaways:
- Understand the key points in the FDA’s process validation guidance document
