GMP Fundamentals: Buildings and Facilities
A “GMP Facility” is a building that is used in the production of pharmaceutical and medical device products. The proper design, layout, function and control of such facilities is essential in the manufacture of pure, safe and effective pharmaceutical products. In this course, learners will focus on understanding the building layout, safety, cleanroom conditions, as well as facility sanitation and ventilation of both production and support areas. In this On Demand course (part 4 of 11), you will learn the elements of GMP Buildings & Facilities, as required by regulation. Interactive Course…
Airflow Pattern Visualization (AFPV)
This Airflow Pattern Visualization online course provides a unique opportunity to explore the requirements for airflow pattern visualization and to see different video examples of actual airflow pattern visualization results. The course provides a comparison of different types of airflow patterns, but focuses primarily on unidirectional airflow patterns in critical areas (ISO 5).
Critical Utility GMP Compliance
This course is focused on how to be compliant in the design, operation & qualification of critical utilities and how to prove it. It comprises four modules including interactive case studies from real experience. This helps the participants to experience live discussions on compliance topics. The content is primarily based on the new ISPE Good Practice Guide “Critical Utilities GMP Compliance”.
HVAC & Environmental Control for Life Science Facilities Training Course
This training course focuses on common issues and problems in the operation of a facility and maintaining readiness for cGMP inspection. Topics include control system alarm management, common system construction deficiencies, cGMP documentation, maintaining an "inspection ready" state, frequency of testing and balancing, airflow visualization, air change rate reduction and more.
Storage, Delivery, and Qualification Pharma Water Training Course
