IntroductionIntroduction

• Why perform Product Validations? Regulatory (FDA, EU. etc.), Customers,

Business expectations, etc.

• Effort versus Risk. Risk and Process Validation.

• Integration of Validation and Risk into the product life cycle, integration into the

Quality Management System.

• Validation versus Verification.

• Definitions related to Validation.



5

Regulatory Requirements and Regulatory Requirements and International StandardsInternational Standards

• FDA QSR (Quality System Requirements) and Validation requirements.

• QSIT expectations.

• 21CFR 211, 21CFR 820. – pre-market assessment, risk minimisation, Part 11.

• ISO 13485:2003 expectations; ISO 14971:2009 – expectations

• Key requirements of the EU Medical Device Directives

• Revised requirements under EU Directive 2007/47/EC

• Regulatory body expectation summary

The FDA’s Draft Process Validation Guidance * • Key changes between the 1987 Process Validation Guidance and the 2008 FDA Draft.

• Comparison between FDA 2008 Draft on Process Validation and ASTM E2500.– Impact on Design and Verification

* While the 2008 Draft is not specifically “mentioned” by the CDRH, it does represent the latest in FDA thinking on Process Validation

Key components of an effective Quality Management SystemKey components of an effective Quality Management System

Documentation, Auditing, Complaints, RecallsDocumentation, Auditing, Complaints, Recalls

The necessity for documentation.

• Types of documentation - specifications, batch manufacturing records, non-

conformance reports, change control forms, manufacturing protocols etc.

• Standard Operating Procedures – writing, elements of, revision of.

• Fundamental documentation rules.

• Controlling official procedures.

The principles of auditing. Analysis of the steps involved in auditing manufacturing environments.

• Internal and external audits.

• Audit reports and corrective actions.

• Major audit issues.

Management of complaints and using complaints as a means to improve systems & processes.

• Components of a Recall procedure.

• Recall classification & strategy.
