- Is Quality Oversight just an FDA expectation? What are the expectations of European Inspectors?
- Quality Oversight; only a regulatory expectation? What advantages can you gain from the implementation for your own company?
- How are Quality Oversight requirements implemented in sterile production? In 4 case studies, you will be presented with concepts and implementation Options
In the „Guidance for Industry - Sterile Drug Products Produced by Aseptic Processing“ published in 2004, the FDA clearly formulated the expectations for Quality oversight. The aim should be to ensure regular and independent checks of the processes and personnel involved in aseptic manufacturing and thus reduce the risk of product contamination. In several warning letters in recent years, companies have been criticised for insufficient „quality oversight“.
In addition, against the background of new or revised European regulations, e.g. Annex 1 or Annex 15,
EU GMP Guide Annex 15 „1.3 ...However, there should be appropriate quality oversight over the whole validation life cycle“.
every European company faces the question of how the American demands for Quality Oversight will also be taken up in the regulatory environment here in the future.
The Live Online Training is aimed at responsible employees in sterile production who are involved in the planning, establishment and implementation of a Quality Oversight programme in their companies. The following areas are specifically addressed
- Production
- Quality Assurance
- Microbiology
