Develop / review a company's Master Validation Plan for major cGMP deficiencies. Address the U.S. FDA's newer and tougher regulatory stance. One major failing is lack of sufficient or targeted risk-based V&V planning:
- Start with a Master Validation Plan;
- Evaluate its elements against ISO 14971 and ICH Q9 for hazard analysis and product risk management;
- The Individual V&V Plan;
- V&V Project Management;
- “Risk-based” per ISO 14971, ICH Q9, and/or GAMP/JETT;
- Two key input analysis tools;
- Change control and “drawing a line in the sand”;
- Develop meaningful V&V Files and Protocols for:
- Products;
- Process;
- Production Equipment;
- Monitoring and Test Equipment;
- Software;
- Quality Management System – 21 CFR 11, Electronic Records / Signatures;
- The roles of different V&V protocols;
- How to employ equipment / process DQs, IQs, OQs, and PQs, or their equivalents,
- V&V against a background of limited company resources;
- The FDA's 11-element software matrix simplifies "as-product", in-product", process and equipment, et al, software VT&V;
- Assure key U.S.FDA and comparable EU MDD / ISO requirements are not overlooked;
- The QMS and 21 CFR Part 11, “Electronic Records / Signatures” V&V;
- Hands-on examples and activities show real-world implementation of useful principles, tools and templates;
Learning Objectives:
- Understand Verification and Validation, differences and how they work together
- Develop a “Working Definition” of V&V, Qualification, and related terms
- Discuss recent regulatory expectations
- How to document a “risk-based” rationale, and use it in a resource-constrained environment
- Determine key “milestones” and “tasks” in a project; device sample provided
- Locate and document key subject “inputs”
- Compile “generic” Master and Individual Validation Plans
- Lean the key element of a Product V&V File / Protocol
- How to develop Process and/or Production / Test Equipment V&V Files / Protocols
- Basic Test Case / Script construction
- Sample sizes and their justification
- Lean the key 11 elements of Software V&V expected by the FDA and how to document
- See how to compile QMS Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures V&Vs per 21 CFR 11 and related CGMPs
