Description:

Develop / review a company's Master Validation Plan for major cGMP deficiencies. Address the U.S. FDA's newer and tougher regulatory stance. One major failing is lack of sufficient or targeted risk-based V&V planning:

  • Start with a Master Validation Plan;
  • Evaluate its elements against ISO 14971 and ICH Q9 for hazard analysis and product risk management;
  • The Individual V&V Plan;
  • V&V Project Management;
  • “Risk-based” per ISO 14971, ICH Q9, and/or GAMP/JETT;
  • Two key input analysis tools;
  • Change control and “drawing a line in the sand”;
  • Develop meaningful V&V Files and Protocols for:
    • Products;
    • Process;
    • Production Equipment;
    • Monitoring and Test Equipment;
    • Software;
    • Quality Management System – 21 CFR 11, Electronic Records / Signatures;
  • The roles of different V&V protocols;
  • How to employ equipment / process DQs, IQs, OQs, and PQs, or their equivalents,
  • V&V against a background of limited company resources;
  • The FDA's 11-element software matrix simplifies "as-product", in-product", process and equipment, et al, software VT&V;
  • Assure key U.S.FDA and comparable EU MDD / ISO requirements are not overlooked;
  • The QMS and 21 CFR Part 11, “Electronic Records / Signatures” V&V;
  • Hands-on examples and activities show real-world implementation of useful principles, tools and templates;

AGENDA

DAY 1 (10 AM to 4 PM)
  • V&V Planning; The Master Validation Plan; The Individual Validation Plan
  • “Risk-based” -- Evaluate its elements against ISO 14971 and ICH Q9 for hazard analysis and product risk management
  • File Narrative, Hazard Analysis, FTA, 3 FMECAs (Design, Process, Use[r], and a possible 4 th , Software); also GAMP / JETT approaches
  • V&V Project Management – “Milestones” and “Tasks”
  • Two key input analysis tools – The Process Map / Flow Chart, and the Cause and Effect Diagram (templates supplied)
  • Change control and “drawing a line in the sand”

    Elements of a V&V File / Protocol:
    • Intro / Purpose / Scope
    • Protocol Material / Equipment
    • DQ or Requirements Specs
    • ASTM2500
    • IQ (or equivalent)
    • OQ (or equivalent)
    • PQs (or equivalent)


DAY 2 (10 AM to 4 PM)
  • Develop and Employ Meaningful V&V Files and Protocols for:
    • Products;
    • Process;
    • Production Equipment;
    • Monitoring and Test Equipment;
    • Software;
    • Quality Management System – 21 CFR 11, Electronic Records / Signature
  • The FDA’s 11-element software matrix simplifies "as-product", in-product", process and equipment software V&V – what they mean, how to research and how to document
  • The QMS, ERP and 21 CFR Part 11 V&V – “Cloud” Issues; “White box” and “Black box” Testing; Basic Test Case Development
  • V&V, Senior Management / IP and Limited Company Resources
  • U.S. FDA Audit Issues and “Responsible” Documentation
  • Interactive Discussions and Q&A Session


Seminar Objectives:

  • Understand Verification and Validation, differences and how they work together
  • Develop a “Working Definition” of V&V, Qualification, and related terms
  • Discuss recent regulatory expectations
  • How to document a “risk-based” rationale, and use it in a resource-constrained environment
  • Determine key “milestones” and “tasks” in a project; device sample provided
  • Locate and document key subject “inputs”
  • Compile “generic” Master and Individual Validation Plans
  • Lean the key element of a Product V&V File / Protocol
  • How to develop Process and/or Production / Test Equipment V&V Files / Protocols
  • Basic Test Case / Script construction
  • Sample sizes and their justification
  • Lean the key 11 elements of Software V&V expected by the FDA and how to document
  • See how to compile QMS Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures V&Vs per 21 CFR 11 and related CGMPs
