Objectives

Why should you attend this Event?
  •  You get an technological update on isolators for aseptic manufacture
  •  You get to know the results of recent studies on the validation of isolators
  •  You have the opportunity to discuss your individual questions personally with experts
  •  You can translate the theory directly into practice during 3 workshops at the manufacturing site of Skan in Allschwil
Each participant takes part in all 3 workshops. The workshops are held at the plant of SKAN AG, partly including operational isolators. This brings the participants as close to daily practice as possible.

Background

The use of isolators is increasing in the manufacturing of sterile medicinal products, particularly in aseptic manufacture, and in the handling of toxic / high potent APIs. It ensures a greater microbiological safety of the products, but at the same time requires increased inputs as regards the qualification of these systems and the validation of the production processes.

In 2004, Appendix 1 to the FDA Guidance for Industry „Sterile Drug Products Produced by Aseptic Processing“ defined new regulatory requirements on using this technology, as did the PIC/S document PI 014-3 „Isolators used for Aseptic Processing and Sterility Testing“ and the expected revision of EU GMP Annex 1.

Target Group

This GMP Education Course addresses those employees from the pharmaceutical industry and from suppliers / Contract organisations  involved in the engineering, validation and operation of  Aseptic (toxic) Manufacturing Isolators, especially from the Areas Engineering / Production, Quality Assurance, Qualification/ Validation, Microbiology. The number of participants is limited.

Please understand that, for competitive reasons, not all firms can register their employees for this event.
