Course Description:
A glance at the FDA's citations for quality system deficiencies show that these usually relate to change control, employee errors, Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) and consistent process control as demonstrated through validation and incident tracking systems.
Upon completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate a proactive approach to quality and improve operational efficiency
- Anticipate and meet FDA expectations for a compliant quality system
- Incorporate risk management strategy to quality systems application
- Build a quality-focused culture and facilitate management support for quality systems processes
- Track and organize data efficiently to improve the evaluation process
- Apply effective documentation techniques through the product life-cycle to avoid confusion and manage changes
- Integrate risk assessment activities into the product design process to meet expectations of Quality by Design
- Identify crucial training issues to address job-specific compliance responsibilities
- Generate a Drug Master File (DMF)
This course will focus on the following topics:
Prepare for the FDA’s systems based inspection
- Difference between QA and QC
- Difference between “correction” and “corrective action”
- Quality planning and development
- Quality manual
- Difference between polices, practices and procedures
- Components of QA and QC
- Functions and responsibilities as well as qualifications
- Checks and balances based on the regulations to assure quality
- Guidelines for quality systems and controls including audits, CAPA and change control which also has to include customer complaints
Six Quality Systems as well as Six Sigma – How to use and when
- Current GMPs (CGMP) at this time with changes occurring often and steps to success
- PAT with, CAPA and change control to generate comparability protocols and continuous quality improvement
Principles of Quality Risk Management
- Q7A API Guidelines
- Mastering quality performance throughout the entire process
- Process validation, methods validation, computer and software validation
- Conducting proper quality control audits
This highly interactive course will help attendees learn how to use the FDA Quality System Inspection Techniques (QSIT), QTA guidelines and CFR quality regulations not just specifically for devices and APIs. It will also provide methods of problem solving in order to develop and implement systems and improvements that can be demonstrated as effective, consistent and reliable once implemented. Through industry related examples, this course will examine best practice quality systems to provide thoughts and ideas to improve the performance of your current system. Additionally, case studies will explore how your quality management practices can help or hurt your legal liability and the legal issues that arise from nonconformance with regulatory agencies.

Topic Background:
The average cost of a Warning Letter remediation effort is estimated at US $750,000 or millions depending on the product and the efforts to correct the FDA identified deficiencies including added resources for consultants, personnel, remediation of legacy records, etc. The high cost does not necessarily include the ramifications of product recalls or holds, cost of not going into clinical trials or to market with a new product, or delays in FDA 510(k) or PMA (Premarket approval) as a result of a Warning Letter. The cost of FDA non-compliance is therefore way more than the cost of compliance which is why quality performance is synonymous with profitability.
A Drug Master File (DMF) is a submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that may be used to provide confidential detailed information about facilities, processes, or articles used in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, and storing of one or more human drugs. The submission of a DMF is not required by law or FDA regulation. A DMF is submitted solely at the discretion of the company that developed the patented or confidential information. One needs to understand the acceptable approaches to meet regulatory requirements for a DMF. Different approaches may be followed, but the applicant is encouraged to discuss significant variations in advance with FDA reviewers to preclude spending time and effort in preparing a submission that FDA may later determine to be unacceptable.

Local Attractions
San Diego Cabrillo National Monument
The first European to set foot in California was the Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who stepped on shore near this spot in in 1542. He's the guy they made this statue to look like - and named the park after. We don't know if Cabrillo climbed all the way up to the top of this promontory or not, but people who make up here nowadays get some of the best views of San Diego, looking across the Bay and back toward downtown.
Sea Creatures at Birch Aquarium
Birch Aquarium is north of San Diego in La Jolla. It's not as big as some of the other aquariums in California or as flashy as the big sea-themed park down the road, but instead just right, filled with interesting exhibits and home to leafy sea dragons like the one above, creatures so improbably they look more like something from a children's book than from the ocean.
Legoland
Legoland theme park takes its inspiration from Lego toys, those cute little bricks that snap together to build all kinds of fun things. It's one of several Legolands worldwide.
San Diego Zoo Safari Park
The San Diego Zoo's sister park offers a different kind of animal experience. Its name (Safari Park) is the clue and it indeed offers a more safari-like experience. Lots of large animals live in the same big, open areas here - predators kept away from prey, but otherwise much as they would in their natural habitat.
Coronado Island
Coronado isn't really an island but a peninsula - a fact that doesn't get in the way of the name most people use for it. Whatever you call it, it's on a slender strip of land between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, barely a few blocks wide. What it lacks in size it makes up for in fun, with a beach that's been named among the best in the country, a classic hotel and a compact, lively little downtown. Coronado's laid-back temperament makes a nice break from the busier parts of San Diego across the water.
Balboa Park
Originally built for temporary use during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, Balboa Park boasts buildings beautiful enough to be considered attractions in themselves, especially if you're a photographer. They're surrounded by trees, lawns and fountains, but that's only the beginning.
La Jolla
In Spanish, La Jolla means "the jewel," an apt name for a pretty, Mediterranean-style seaside town - sitting on cliffs flanking the ocean.
La Jolla visitors like to shop and eat in the nice restaurants, some of them with lovely ocean views. There's a lot for the active visitor, too, including ocean kayaking, tide pool-hopping, surfing at Windansea Beach, biking or running along the waterfront.
