Zielsetzung
The purpose of this three-day Live Online Training is to give participants a comprehensive overview of FDA’s current compliance requirements (21 CFR Part 211, Guidances for Industry, Compliance Program Guide, etc.) and expectations in these and related areas, and how they can be managed effectively.
The format allows each of our speakers to give an overview of the specific regulatory requirements associated with their topic prior to describing the approach to managing the issues with respect to philosophy, documented procedures, SOPs, etc.
In addition, the programme includes four workshop sessions covering:

Hintergrund
A major consequence of the Barr Ruling in 1993 was the significantly greater emphasis FDA inspections placed on the management and performance of quality control laboratories particularly the handling of Out of Specification results.
As a result of the increased and on-going scrutiny of analytical performance it is hardly surprising that even today the most frequently cited cGMP non-compliances are still found in laboratories, particularly:
As a result of the increased and on-going scrutiny of analytical performance it is hardly surprising that even today the most frequently cited cGMP non-compliances are still found in laboratories, particularly:
- General cGMP understanding and particularly relating to compliance with written procedures
- Validation, performance and transfer of analytical procedures
- Data Integrity
- Management of out of specification and suspect test results
- Instrument qualification including an explanation of the new version of USP <1058>and calibration
- Computer validation (including the requirements and actual interpretation of 21 CFR Part 11)
- Operator Training
- Management of reagents and standards
Take advantage of this Live Online Training to discuss all these issues.
Zielgruppe
This course will be of significant value to:
- All quality control managers responsible for FDA compliance in their laboratories
- Laboratory staff charged with meeting these requirements day-to-day
- Everybody involved in FDA inspections
