Dublin, Nov. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Master Validation Plan - The Unwritten Requirements" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
FDA Warning Letters and recent high-profile recalls indicate major cGMP deficiencies in many companies. One major failing is lack of sufficient or targeted risk-based company-wide V&V planning. Starting with a Master Validation Plan, evaluating its elements against ISO 14971 hazard analysis/risk management, allows development of meaningful product validations. The roles of different V&V protocols.
How to employ equipment/process DQs, IQs, OQs, and PQs, or their equivalents per ASTM E2500, against a background of limited company resources (personnel, budget, time). A matrix simplifies "as-product", "in-product", process, and equipment, et al, software V&VT, assuring key FDA requirements are not overlooked.
What is the FDA definition of "risk based" and how is it documented in the V&V test report. Additional recommended supporting systems/documentation. The QMS/CGMP and 21 CFR Part 11 must also be considered.
Why Should You Attend
Verification and validation requirements have always been part of the US FDA's GMPs. However, with increasing technology, both industry and regulatory agencies expectations have increased. Recent high-profile field problems indicate that V&V activities are not planned or carried out as completely as expected, are not documented in a top tier Master Validation Plan, and may not be fully utilizing the power of current risk management tools, as identified in ISO 14971.
The FDA/ICH Q-series provide valuable insights for all regulated industries, not just pharma. The billions of dollars spent by industry annually for V&V are not providing the product safety or efficacy seemingly promised. For most companies, the fixes are not rocket-science, but proper up-front V&V planning and execution, documented in a corporate MVP and implemented by other V&V documents.
