FDA GUIDANCE OVERVIEW :
  
PROCESS VALIDATION
Process Design, Process Qualification, Continuous Process Verification 


September 29, 2009 WEBINAR
NOON - 1:30 pm EDT
 
This Webinar will focus on discussing the new FDA proposed (November 2008) guidance on Process validation. The guidance promotes the implementation of a process-product life cycle approach to verification that the process is always in a validated state. The guidance defines three distinct stages to process validation. These are:
            Stage 1: Process Design
            Stage 2: Process Qualification
            Stage 3: Continued Process Verification
This is not a new concept, although the guidance may suggest it is. It was always important in the design and development of the process to consider GMP implications and keep validatability in mind. Process qualification or PQ was always the necessary step confirming that the process is capable of consistently producing a product that meets its predetermined specifications and quality attributes. As for continuous process verification, this has always been a needed activity and was always accomplished through process and product monitoring.
This webinar will review these phases and outlines approaches suggested for continuous process/product improvement. During the webinar we will discuss the following:
Process Design
  • Defining the commercial manufacturing process based on knowledge, risk assessment and appropriate science.
  • Using quality by design as defined in ICH Q8
  • Applying risk management techniques per ICH Q9
  • Applying quality system principles as outlined in ICH Q10
  • Consideration of process variability
  • Establish a strategy for process control and PAT
Process Qualification
  • Qualification of the facility, utilities and equipment
  • Develop a successful Performance Qualification (PQ) approach
  • Write a performance qualification protocol
  • Execute the PQ and develop the report
Continued Process Verification
  • The validated state and maintaining it
  • Develop a system for managing changes (Change Control)
  • Using routine monitoring, maintenance and calibration procedures
  • Continue to collect and analyze data (PAT)
  • Implement frequent QA and production staff meetings
Find strategies to improve the process through using data collected,, CAPA, PAT
