GMP Pre-sterilized Packaging Material - Live Online Training
Thursday, 14 November 2024 9 .00 - 17.15 h
Course No. 21270
Note: All times mentioned are CET.
Objectives
In this live online course, you will learn which requirements apply for pre-sterilized packaging material (e.g., ready-to-use, readyto- sterilize). You get to know all aspects of the GMP manufacture of pre-sterilized products (e.g., vials, stoppers) that influence the the quality of the final product. In addition, practice-oriented presentations and case studies will guide you through the relevant requirements on qualification / validation, and controls for pre-sterilized materials, including impact of the new EU GMP Annex 1.
Background
Currently there is a growing demand in the development of presterilized packaging materials (e.g. ready-to-sterilize, ready-touse) for several enhanced Biotech applications. However, new GMP requirements for the sterile packaging material (e.g. regarding validation of the sterilization procedure) apply with the revised EU GMP Annex 1 entitled “Manufacture of Sterile Medicinal Products”, which provides guidance on the approaches to sterilization of products, equipment and packaging components. All sterilization processes should be validated.
Annex 1, Scope: The manufacture of sterile products covers a wide range of sterile product types (active substance, excipient, primary packaging material and finished dosage form).
This event will therefore deal with the current discussions and trends in the manufacture of GMP pre-sterilized packaging materials: GMP requirements for sterilization of packaging materials
GMP requirements for sterilization of packaging materials / devices
Selection of a suitable sterilization method
Critical process parameters (CPPs) that should be considered in qualification and / or routine processing
Validation strategy
Requirements for suppliers
Validated loading patterns should be established for all sterilization processes and load patterns should be subject to periodic revalidation. Maximum and minimum loads should also be considered as part of the overall load validation strategy. The validity of the sterilizing process should be reviewed and verified at scheduled intervals based on risk.
The presentations will be provided in a practice-oriented way from the different viewpoints of authorities, suppliers of packaging materials / devices / services (including sterilization activities), and the pharmaceutical industry.
Target Group
This online event is designed for employees working in the pharmaceutical industry (including drug device combination products), for suppliers of packaging materials & devices and to all who have to deal with the manufacture, control and release of packaging materials for aseptic processing. They key areas are
Sterile Production
Packaging material / Device development
Manufacturing / Processing / Assembling
Quality Control
Quality Assurance
