Objectives
This event offers you a unique possibility to become acquainted with
ongoing regulatory requirements, the development of microbiological
methods for quality and process control as well as with the recent
experiences in microbial contamination control.
Speakers from different scopes of pharmaceutical microbiology will give you the chance to get to know the different views on versatile microbiological topics. Also, as a participant you will have ample opportunity to discuss your specific issues with speakers and other participants.
Interdisciplinary lectures will give you an additional benefit for understanding the current developments in pharmaceutical QC.
Background
The role of pharmaceutical microbiology is getting more and more important. It is also increasingly in the focus of regulators during product submission and inspections. Current challenges are Low Endotoxin Recovery, implementation of alternative microbiological methods and the ongoing issues with contamination control – there was an increasing number of findings in the authority reports.
The challenge is therefore to satisfy regulatory requirements alongside management’s financial expectations.

Workshop: Data Integrity in Microbiology
Objectives
This workshop will cover the regulatory requirements and present approaches and practical experiences on the implementation of data integrity strategies in microbiological laboratories. It will provide you the possibility to discuss the challenges of the ongoing automation of methods and processes in relation to the increasing requirements of data integrity.
Background
Even Data Integrity is one of the basic GMP principles. Multiple Data Integrity issues were reported by FDA und European inspectors during the last 3 years. Many US Warning Letters and EU Non-Compliance Reports deal with serious Data Integrity violations. Data Integrity questions have been and will continue to be the focus of many GMP inspections.
As a consequence, international authorities – FDA, EMA, PIC/S, WHO, MHRA - published draft documents to describe the regulatory expectations of Data Integrity.
Even though the guidelines are not intended to impose additional regulatory burden upon the regulated companies, a lot of uncertainty predominates the pharmaceutical industry about how to implement these requirements into the daily business.
Microbiological laboratories are influenced by these developments,as well.
Target Audience
All persons which will be involved in collecting, analysing and trending data in microbiological laboratories and will be challenged by the lab data integrity requirements. Additionally, all persons from QC and QA who have to judge these data for risk evaluation or release questions.
