Course Description:
Cleaning validation programs for pharmaceutical firms are a regulatory expectation. The FDA, Health Canada, WHO and other regulatory agencies have published their expectations for a good cleaning validation program. There are also numerous textbooks, articles, and other helpful resources such as PDA’s Technical Report #29 (Revised 2012) “Points to Consider for Cleaning Validation”. The risk-based regulatory initiatives of the FDA focus new attention on the risks of cross-contamination. Some firms have highly potent molecules in their product mix. Advanced analytical methods are emerging with promises to detect molecules to the ppb levels. Understanding and implementing new technologies and principles pause challenges to a cleaning validation specialist to establish, manage and maintain a scientifically sound cleaning validation program.
This two day interactive course will cover fundamental principles of a cleaning validation program, exploring such concepts as the determination of residues to be targeted, selection of analytical and sampling methods, determination of appropriate limits in various pharmaceutical and biotechnology processes, and establishment of scientific rationales acceptable to regulatory inspectors.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completing this course on cleaning validation, participants will understand:
- Regulatory requirements for cleaning validation
- Fundamentals of cleaning validation
- How to develop master plans

- Engineering studies and cycle development
- How to calculate acceptance limits that meet regulatory expectations
- Family/grouping approaches for equipment/product
- How to determine suitable sampling techniques and the selection of sampling locations
- Developing cleaning validation protocols
- Collecting and testing validation samples
- Developing validation reports
- How to investigate and find root cause for failures
- Life cycle management and monitoring programs
Attendees will be able to practice through hands-on exercises.
Who will Benefit:
This course is designed for professionals responsible for all aspects of cleaning validation programs, including development, deployment, and maintenance. Following personnel will benefit from the course:
- Quality assurance specialists
- Quality control technicians
- Validation scientists
- Validation service personnel
- Production supervisors
- Manufacturing engineers
- Design engineers
- Technical support personnel
- Engineers supporting the cleaning validation program
- All levels of management who need to understand the science of cleaning and cleaning validation
Topic Background:
An effective and efficient cleaning validation program makes good business sense for firms, since it saves money in the long run. The cost of not having a sound cleaning validation program may affect the reputation of companies if they have to recall products due to cross contamination which may also mean loss of millions of dollars in revenue.
The FDA and other regulatory agencies want to make sure that firms take all precautions to avoid cross contamination. Implementing principles of a scientifically sound cleaning validation program is one way to ensure cross contamination especially for multiproduct facilities. Firms that are in Consent Decree with FDA know very well the cost of non-compliance.

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.
