Modern Cleaning Process Validation
Compliance with current regulatory expectations concerning cleaning is in flux. Regulation changes in the past few years have resulted in companies being cited for poor compliance with their cleaning approach. As cleaning technology and detection methodology advance, so do the challenges associated with establishing, managing, and maintaining a scientifically sound cleaning validation program. Cleaning validation is a procedure for gathering & documenting evidence that cleaning processes (for pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment) will prevent product contamination/cross-contamination. Compliance with GMP Cleaning Validation requirements means collecting documented evidence that an approved cleaning procedure will reproducibly remove the previous product or cleaning agents used in the equipment below the scientifically set maximum allowable carryover level.
Why should you attend
This training course covers the risk-based approach to cleaning process design and development; cleaning process performance qualification; continued cleaning verification; risk analysis; procedures and evaluation tools, including FMEA / FMECA, master planning, risk control, PAT, periodic assessment and monitoring, risk review, and communication. Clean-in-place design integration and cleaning chemical selection are vital components of every pharmaceutical manufacturing process; indeed, all pharmaceutical companies employ some cleaning application every day. This training course will provide, in addition, an overview of clean-in-place (CIP) systems, including design, integration, and selection of cleaning chemicals. Participants will discuss engineering concepts, principles, and integration of CIP systems, clean-out-of-place (COP) systems, or immersion parts washers.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how Specific Regulations could be applied to cleaning validation processes
- Understand contamination control strategies and how they impact biopharmaceutical cleaning systems
- Apply a risk-based approach to cleaning process validation
- Identify and characterize potential residues, including products, processing aids, cleaning agents, and adventitious agents
- Apply appropriate analytical methodology for selected residues
- Determine suitable sampling techniques and the selection of sampling locations that present a challenge for the cleaning process
- Calculate residue limits that meet all necessary regulatory requirements
- Create scientifically sound rationales, validation protocols, and reports
- Manage the challenges of multi-product facilities in the establishment of limits, determination of validation strategies, and maintaining the validated state
