Course Description:
Deficiencies of OOS investigations continue to be the major cause of warning letters in the pharmaceutical industry. The FDA requires that all out-of-specification results must be investigated; therefore, an effective and compliant quality management system requires well-documented, thorough investigations for OOS. Key challenges for many companies are having a clear understanding of regulatory expectations on how to handle OOS and OOT (Out Of Specification and Out Of Trend). Lack of consistency around investigation and root-cause analysis processes will lead to error and expensive laboratory activities.
This one and a half day interactive seminar will discuss the Guidance for Industry on OOS/OOT investigation issued in October 2006 by the FDA. As testing becomes critical to determine the cause of OOS results, investigation process will be discussed during the session and it will also cover procedures that will minimize OOS and identify OOT. It will also make attendees familiar with the documentation system as well as Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) activities.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand regulatory expectations for OOS (Out Of Spec) investigation
- Define documentation system for reporting data
- Build ruggedness into the analytical procedures to prevent OOS occurrences
- Build compliance into the investigation process to minimize OOS
- Define and monitor Corrective and Preventive Actions
Who will Benefit:
This session will benefit analyst to group manager who are responsible for acquiring, evaluating or reporting analytical results. It is designed to provide key principles for OOS and OOT investigations.

Local Attractions
Philadelphia Museum of Art
The Philadelphia Museum of Art sits majestically on a rise at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The vast collections of this temple of art make it the third-largest art museum in the country, and an absolute must-see on the city's cultural circuit.
Among its impressive holdings in Renaissance, American, Impressionist and Modern art, some standouts include a great Rogier van der Weyden altarpiece, a large Bathers by Cezanne, a room devoted to Philadelphia's own Thomas Eakins, and Marcel Duchamp's notorious mixed-media Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors (The Large Glass), exactly as the dada master installed it.
Valley Forge National Historical Park
With more than 3,600 acres of rolling hills and well-worn trails, Valley Forge is now a magnet for runners, bicyclists and picnickers as well as history buffs.
The vast expanse of open space links the Schuylkill River Trail to the Horse Shoe Trail, turning the park into a major hub in a 75-mile system linking Philadelphia to the Appalachian Trail.
The Liberty Bell Center
The Liberty Bell has a new home, and it is as powerful and dramatic as the Bell itself. Throughout the expansive, light-filled Center, larger-than-life historic documents and graphic images explore the facts and the myths surrounding the Bell.
National Constitution Center
The 160,000-square-foot National Constitution Center explores and explains this amazing document through high-tech exhibits, artifacts, and interactive displays. The Kimmel Theater, a 350-seat star-shaped theater, features “Freedom Rising,” a multimedia production combining film, a live actor and video projection on a 360° screen to tell the stirring story of “We the people.”
The Franklin Institute
An innovator in designing hands-on exhibits before “interactive” became a buzzword, The Franklin Institute is as clever as its namesake. Its eminently touchable attractions explore science in disciplines ranging from sports to space.
Highlights include The Sports Challenge, which uses virtual-reality technology to illustrate the physics of sports; The Train Factory's climb-aboard steam engine; Space Command's simulated earth-orbit research station; a fully equipped weather station; and exhibits on electricity.
The Barnes Foundation
The Barnes Foundation was created in 1922, a school originating with Barnes’ educational experimentation in his Argyrol (pharmaceutical) factory. Barnes and The Foundation’s first director of education, John Dewey, were interested in fostering cognitive development through new approaches to education, and in heightening critical-thinking and problem-solving skills through the study of art. Barnes, like Dewey, was actively engaged in development of an intellectual framework and educational philosophies and practices with many of the best artists and thinkers of his day.
The Rocky Statue
One of Philadelphia’s most famous pieces of public art is a bigger-than-life boxer… literally. Originally created for Rocky III, the sculpture is now a real-life monument to a celluloid hero. The fictional Rocky Balboa of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky movies was immortalized in bronze in 1980. After filming for the movie completed, Stallone donated the statue to the City of Philadelphia.
Franklin Square
Franklin Square, one of Philadelphia’s five original public squares laid out by William Penn in his original plan for the city, has undergone a dramatic renovation. The park now boasts several family-friendly attractions, including a miniature golf course, classic carousel, burger joint, storytelling bench, picnic area and more.
