Working Agenda Current as of 1 May 2008 Download Working Agenda |
Learn how to employ new science and risk-based regulatory initiatives such as International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q8-Q10, cGMPs for the 21st Century, Quality by Design (QbD) and Process Analytical Technology (PAT), and how to integrate them with industry initiatives such as Six Sigma and lean manufacturing to effectively approach the challenges of cleaning. Also take part in discussions on the new cleaning Guide slated for publication in 2009.
In cleaning validation, the movement is currently toward evidence-based, scientific documentation rather than “the way we have always done it.”
Process control limits streamline cleaning processes/validation impacting new product introduction with shorter times, less cost, and fewer stumbling blocks. The goal is to create high quality, defensible cleaning validation data. The net result should be more efficiency and overall cost reduction due to fewer failures. Discussion addresses this and topics such as:
- The new ISPE Guideline on Cleaning Validation and the new Risk-MaPP Guideline
- Science, risk and statistically -based approaches to acceptance limits including acceptable daily intake, residue inactivation, analytical method and cleaning system performance as bases
- How to implement “visually clean” as an acceptance limit and as an analytical method
- Using Six Sigma and FMEA techniques for cleaning validation
- How to develop statistical process control limits based on cleaning data
- Leveraging PAT for control and ongoing monitoring of cleaning processes
- Case study on using risk based approaches to cleaning with a new facility startup
- FDA views on science and risk based approaches to cleaning validation
For additional information, see these articles in the May/June 2008 issue of Pharmaceutical Engineering: Application of Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) for Effective Cleaning Validation Risk Management, and A Risk-based Approach to Cleaning Validation Using Visible Residue Limits.
