Cleaning Validation Principles
Milan, 8-9 October 2008
Intermediate LevelISPE CEUs*: 1.3
Type: Classroom Training Course
Instructor: Robert Walker, Rob Walker GMP Consultancy Ltd (UK)
Description
As cleaning technology and detection methodology advance, so do the challenges associated with establishing, managing, and maintaining a scientifically sound cleaning validation programme. FDA’s risk-based regulatory initiatives focus new attention on the risks of cross-contamination. The solution is to understand life cycle management techniques for an effective cleaning validation programme.
This course will cover elements of a cleaning validation programme from start to finish, exploring such concepts as the determination of residues to be targeted, selection of analytical and sampling methods, determination of appropriate limits in various pharmaceutical and biotechnology processes, and establishment of scientific rationales acceptable to regulatory inspectors. For mature cleaning validation programmes, concepts such as understanding process control, capability, learning to effectively self-audit a cleaning validation programme, and documentation will be essential take-aways.
Classroom Objectives
- Manage the challenges of multi-product facilities in the establishment of limits, determination of validation strategies, and maintaining the validated state
- Understand campaign-based production strategies for effective and scientifically sound validation
- Differentiate the requirements for cleaning validation when using manual, semi-automatic, or automatic cleaning technologies. Determine scientific grouping or bracketing approaches
- Comprehend the pitfalls inherent in cleaning after the production of biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical products
- Accomplish analytical method validation and recovery study requirements in cost-effective studies that provide the necessary assurance of an analytical system
- Practice hands-on exercises designed to reinforce core competencies and job-focused skills
Take Back to Your Job
- Identify and characterise potential residues including product, processing aids, cleaning agents, and adventitious agents. Apply appropriate analytical methodology for selected residues
- Determine suitable sampling techniques and the selection of sampling locations that present a challenge for the cleaning process. Calculate residue limits that meet all necessary regulatory requirements
- Create scientifically sound rationales, validation protocols, and reports
- Evaluate cleaning practices, limit calculations, scientific rationales, and validation documents through internal self-audits to ensure compliance with ever-changing regulatory needs
Attendance Suggested For
- Professionals responsible for all aspects of cleaning validation programmes, including development, deployment, and maintenance; quality assurance and control, regulatory affairs, validation; manufacturing, and engineering. Additionally all levels of management who need to understand the science of cleaning and cleaning validation including the aspects of residue selection, sampling method and analytical detection method validation, limits determination, and strategies for managing multi-product facilities would benefit from attending this course
- This Training Course is of particular interest to existing and future members of the ISPE Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), Containment, Biotechnology (BIO), Commissioning and Qualification (C&Q), Process Analytical Technology (PAT), Investigational Products (IP), and Process/Product Development (PPD) Community of Practice (COP)
