Test Method / Design Verification and Validation

Description:

Review a company's Test Method and Design Verification and Validation system for major cGMP deficiencies. Address the FDA's newer and tougher regulatory stance. One major failing is lack of sufficient or targeted risk-based V&V planning and associated documentation. Starting with a Master Validation Plan, evaluating its elements against ISO 14971 for hazard analysis and product risk management, allows the development of meaningful product quality-specific process validations, especially at the design stage (820.30). Also the roles of different V&V protocols; how to employ equipment / process DQs, IQs, OQs, and PQs, or their equivalents. Our matrix examples simplify "as-product", in-product", process and equipment, et al, software VT&V, assuring key FDA requirements are not overlooked. The QMS and 21 CFR Part 11 and cybersecurity are considered where required.

Why Should You Attend:

FDA Warning Letters and recent high-profile recalls indicate major cGMP deficiencies in test method / device design verification and validations. What are the regulatory requirements? One major failing is lack of sufficient or targeted risk-based process V&V planning / execution. The "must have" elements from ISO 14971 for hazard analysis and product / process risk management. Integration of test method validation essentials into a company's quality management system, specifically its design control activities.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

Participants will learn how an effective Test Method Validation system is a critical requirement to the movement toward a risk-based approach to compliance and product safety.

Issues to be covered include:

• Assurance of product quality from CGMP test method compliant validation
• FDA Test Method V&V requirements
• Learn methods for developing process validations and best practices
• Understand the scope of regulations governing test method / design validation and identify gaps
• Develop a plan to rectify existing validation plans, protocols and reports
• Learn how to construct, implement and deploy a Validation Master Plan

Who Will Benefit:

This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies that need to review and modify their Test Method / Device Design Validation Planning and Execution / Documentation. While this information is focused on Medical Devices, many of its principles apply to personnel / companies in the Pharmaceutical, Diagnostic, and Biologics fields. The employees who will benefit include:

• Senior management
• R&D
• Quality Assurance / Regulatory Affairs
• Production
• Engineering, including Software
• All personnel involved in verification and/or validation planning, execution and documentation.
