Managing the Risk of Cross Contamination: Applying the Risk-MaPP Baseline® Guide (T41)
Level: Intermediate
ISPE CEUs: 1.4
Type: Classroom Training Course
Includes Webinar 
Description
As manufacturers are looking to reduce cost and increase efficiency, more multi-product facilities are
being utilized either directly by the manufacturers or through partnerships with contract manufacturing
organizations (CMO’s). With the use of multi-product facilities, the risk of cross contamination increases.
By properly managing the risk of cross contamination,manufacturers can reap the benefits of lower cost and
higher efficiency while maintaining product quality and patient safety.
The key is to understand your risk of cross contamination and be able to present scientific justification
for the methods used for risk assessment as well as risk control strategies to regulators and auditors
worldwide. ISPE’s Baseline® Guide: Risk-MaPP, helps companies manage their risk of cross
contamination by outlining a scientific, risk-based methodology based on ICH Q9 that can be used to lead
teams through the process to satisfy auditors as well as global regulators. This course will focus on
using the logic diagram, how health based limits are developed, setting cleaning validation limits, risk
assessments for cross contamination and formulating a Quality Risk Management Plan as part of a Quality
System.
Course Modules
- Overview of ICH Q9 and how Risk-MaPP fits in
- Introduce the Logic Diagram
- Risk Assessment
- Risk Identification and setting limits
- Risk Analysis – gathering data
- Risk Evaluation – comparing identified and analyzed risk against risk criteria
- Risk Control
- Risk Reduction
- Risk Acceptance
- Risk Management Tools
- Regulations
- Governance documents and ICH Q10
- Pulling it all Together
- Risk Review
- Risk Communication
Includes Webinar
This course includes a pre-recorded Webinar that provides a review of the basics prior to the classroom
course. You will receive information via email on how to access the Webinar one week prior to the start of
the training event.
At the conclusion of this Webinar, participants will be able to:
Understand the “why,” what,” and “how to use” the ISPE Baseline® Guide, Risk-Based
Manufacturing of Pharmaceutical Products (Risk-MaPP). Risk-MaPP provides a scientific risk-based
approach, based on ICH Q9 Quality Risk Management, to manage the risk of cross contamination in order to
achieve and maintain an appropriate balance between product quality and operator safety. In preparation for
the course, the webinar will review the history of Risk-MaPP and what it is; why it is important along with
why it is needed and fits into the regulatory landscape.
Take Back to Your Job
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Determine when multi-product facilities can be used
- Use the logic diagram to guide a team through the process of determining how to manage the risk of cross
contamination
- Understand where to get health-based data for use in risk assessments
- Develop scientific risk-based cleaning validation limits
- Prepare a Quality Risk Management Plan for Cross Contamination
Attendance Suggested For
Anyone dealing with multi-product facilities especially QA, Toxicologists, EH&S professionals,
Engineers, Operations, Cleaning Validation, Project Managers, Regulators/ Inspectors.
NOTE: This course will expand upon some basic concepts in the following areas so attendees should be
familiar with the basics prior to attending this session.
- Containment basics and the use of operator exposure limits.
- Setting cleaning limits (note this session will not discuss cleaning procedures, processes, etc).
Community of Practice (COP)
This training course is of particular interest to existing and future members of the following ISPE Communities of Practice (COP).
Continuing Education Units
ISPE will provide continuing education units (ISPE CEUs) for all North American seminars and courses,
including educational programming at the ISPE Annual Meeting. CEUs are nationally recognized units of
achievement designed for those individuals continuing their education in their chosen field or
profession.
Delegates attending European seminars and courses will receive a Certificate of Attendance, as ISPE CEUs
are currently not offered at European events. Verification of CEUs is based on attendance as well as
satisfactory completion of all evaluation materials. Statements of credit will be sent via email within four
weeks of evaluation materials. One hour of education programming equals 0.1 ISPE CEU credits.
