FDA Validation Requirements Regulatory Compliance Training - Live Webinars, Recordings & CDs

This 21 CFR Part 11 training will deliver concrete guidance which will provide a roadmap for compliance that will have immediate benefits, withstand FDA’s changes to Part 11, and discuss the new Obama administration approach to enforcement.

This Cleaning validation training will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies that need to develop and validate their equipment cleaning processes. This session will address risk-based approaches to cleaning validation studies using ICH Q9 and recent FDA comments and observations as a foundation. Recent FDA warning letters illustrate just how critical good cleaning practices are. Understanding and employing good cleaning practices are instrumental to improving cleaning consistency, quality and traceability. The FDA favors automated CIP systems since they reduce operator variability while enhancing consistency and reproducibility. Our research has indicated that in the last 5 years, cleaning citations were noted in 50% of warning FDA letters. Many cited contamination issues have an element of poor cleaning practices associated with them. Examples include “investigations…did not include an evaluation of the cleaning processes and procedures…to determine if equipment cleaning is effective in preventing cross contamination of the inactivated batches”, FDA Warning Letter, Jan 2008; "vaccine manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania, has been served with an FDA warning letter asking for measures to ensure batches of its flu shot ingredients do not become contaminated again.” Jul-2006..

An overview of ICH risk management techniques and how to apply them to equipment cleaning programs will be discussed. In addition, case studies from manufacturing facilities will be used to illustrate risk-based cleaning validation principles and practices.

This FDA Inspection training will examines the audit process and how to manage Process Deviation Investigations.

This Validation training will explain the intent and importance of process validation. Process validation is critical to the production of high quality, consistent, safe and effective products and devices. Routine end-product testing alone is insufficient to assure the quality, safety and effectiveness of a product or device. It is important that the product acceptance criteria and specifications are quantified, and that the manufacturing processes are well characterized, understood, controlled and validated.

This Process Validation training will detail the key qualification steps in process validation, the use of statistical methodology for sampling plans and acceptance criteria, how to handle deviations, elements of a good validation summary report. Process validation is critical to the production of high quality, consistent, safe and effective products and devices. Routine end-product testing alone is insufficient to assure the quality, safety and effectiveness of a product or device. It is important that the product acceptance criteria and specifications are quantified, and that the manufacturing processes are well characterized, understood, controlled and validated.

This Validation training will explain the intent and importance of process validation, the connectivity between design control and process validation and the key pre-requisites and steps in process validation. Process validation is critical to the production of high quality, consistent, safe and effective products and devices. Routine end-product testing alone is insufficient to assure the quality, safety and effectiveness of a product or device. It is important that the product acceptance criteria and specifications are quantified, and that the manufacturing processes are well characterized, understood, controlled and validated.

In this presentation, we will look at these documents from the investigator’s point of view, reviewing the FDA training manual and actual FDA warning letters and responses. This will reveal what the investigator is trained to look for and what types of problems are actually being discovered in the field offices.

This session describes how to use the GAMP® standard to determine what has to be validated and explains how to create documentation that will meet regulatory requirements worldwide.

This presentation explores strategies for recognizing when validation is required, how to achieve compliance and what documentation needs to be generated and maintained.

While simple to describe many companies fall into the trap of territoriality, and confusion of roles and responsibilities. This webinar will walk through the elements of a process validation program for biological products with an emphasis on the involvement of all functions especially process development.

Understand why the VMP is a project management tool and why it’s a living, breathing document. This webinar will provide valuable assistance and guidance to all life sciences manufacturers that are preparing to use or are currently using validation master plans to bullet-proof their validation programs.

Companies are unsure on what exactly to qualify or re-qualify test and document. The main reason is that unlike for analytical methods there are no clear standards for equipment qualification. The USP has developed a new standard for analytical instrument qualification (AIQ). It will be official by August 1, 2008.

The webinar will address each audit item and train the participants how to determine the compliance status. We will use common examples of non-compliance observations from actual audits and suggest remediation plans that are compliant, efficient and economical.

This will teach part 1 of defining and refining objectives and selecting the best of alternative courses of action.

This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies that need to validate their systems The series will deal with Operational Qualification (OQ), Performance Qualification (PQ), and maintaining a state of validation using statistical methods associated with Six Sigma

The mutually exclusive roles for Quality Assurance and Quality Control in validation will also be discussed. Across 20+ years of global regulations and guidance related to computer systems, there are four common themes that provide the foundation for auditable validation efforts.

This Part 11 - Electronic Records webinar will provide an insider’s view FDA’s current thinking regarding the scope and application of Part 11 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations; Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures (21 CFR Part 11).

This FDA compliance training will review the FDA Software Standard "General Principles of Software Validation". The process that FDA investigators use relative to software failure investigations will also be discussed.

This Validation training will provide guidance in overcoming inherent variability in bioassays. Performing good optimization studies will lead to a well-defined method for future qualification and validation of the assay

This Validation training will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies that need to validate their systems. Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to manage project activities to meet project requirements
