Risk Based Environmental Monitoring
Environmental Monitoring (EM) programs for pharmaceutical manufacturing are evolving to a risk-based approach. The use of sampling data for the identification and mitigation of risk becomes a critical element in this process. No longer is it enough to utilize data for reactive excursion reporting.This presentation will discuss how to establish a risk-based Environmental Monitoring Program. During this sessi..
Sample Size Selection: Is That Number Right?
Mr. Yuval Shapiro shall review the basic statistics that are behind the Sample Size selection. Explanations on how to select samples for the Design (verification and validation) phase, and for the Production phase. Also, explanations on how to use the ISO2859-1 for simple cases at production shall be provided. Selection of the correct sample size is a challenging task, especially, when regulatory authorit..

Step by Step Process for Successful Sterility Failure Investigations
There are many different types of microbial contamination that can occur in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Some of the sources include water, raw materials, excipients, in-process materials and samples, the manufacturing process, the product itself, the environment, and the like. As such, there is no one size fits all investigation. Microbiological testing covers a wide range of products, processes, an..
Sterile Filtration of Pharmaceutical Products - What you need to know to meet Validation and Regulatory Requirements

The Human Error Tool Box: a Practical Approach to Human Error
Human error is known to be the primary cause of quality and production losses in many industries. Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage. From procedures, training, and workplace environment many variables that affect human behavior CAN be manipulated reducing the likelihood of these occurrenc..

The Risks Embedded in Using Social Media for Product Promotion
What a firm can say in social media and what an individual can say, are two different worlds, but it is easy to jump unknowingly from the individual to the corporate world of what is legally acceptable to FDA. Firms need to extrapolate corporate boundaries for how they can use and not use social media. What a firm says and how firms deliver a message are equally laden with risk. And ripe for FDA’S administr..
