Laboratory Investigation Out-of-Specification Results
In this Laboratory Investigation training learn what constitutes an OOS observation, what are the guidance's process & Steps to be taken in the laboratory in the event of an OOS observation.
Why Should You Attend:
Inadequate procedures for laboratory Out-of-specification (OOS) investigations remain high on the list of FDA observations. The FDA has issued a guidance on the topic, OOS procedures and investigations are still a topic of FDA Investigator review and findings. An out-of-specification laboratory observation triggers emotional and political actions that inhibit a productive investigation with a timely conclusion.
There is still confusion in the laboratories as to how an out-of-specification result should be handled and investigated. In this webinar we will discuss the investigation that goes on within the laboratory. Although the focus will be on the FDA Guidance, the discussion will include suggestions for a process that will meet the FDA expectations.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- Regulations and Guidances that will be covered (FDA, EU, Canada, WHO, ICH, other).
- US.
- 21CFR211.160
- FDA Guidance to the Industry: Investigating Out-of-Specification (OOS) Test Results for Pharmaceutical Production
- ICH.
- Q7; 11.1
- Canada.

System Based Inspections - The Laboratory Control System
Understanding of Laboratory control system as mentioned in System Based Inspection Guidances and how to use Laboratory control system to evaluate your laboratory.
Why Should You Attend:
Recent FDA 483 Inspection Reports and Warning Letters include many observations that demonstrate that there is a focus on compliance in the laboratory. FDA Investigators evaluate compliance to the CGMPs based on inspectional guidance outlined in two Compliance Policy Guides that provide the basis for system based inspections. One of the six systems defined in these inspectional guidances is the Laboratory Control System. The Laboratory Control System, as defined in these guidances establish the current FDA interpretation of programs that should be in place.
In this webinar we will discuss the Laboratory Control System, as identified in the System Based Inspection guidances. Discussion will be based on the five components of any system: Men, Materials, Machines, Methods, and Measurements, and how the inspectional guidance relates to each of these components.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- Regulations and Guidances that will be covered (FDA, EU, Canada, WHO, ICH, other).
- US- 21CFR211.160 , CPGM 7356.002 , CPGM 7345.848.
- Why the FDA uses a Systems approach to inspections.
- The six systems.
- The Laboratory Control System.
- Procedures, Records and Practices – The basics for all programs.
- Laboratory Control System Components.
- Using the Laboratory Control System to evaluate your laboratory.

Food Recalls - Planning and conducting a Food Recall and Crisis Communication
In this Food Recall training learn how to create a crisis response plan, data gathering, investigation phase specifics and how to communicate under different scenarios.
Why Should You Attend :
Reacting is the norm but anticipating and preparing are what's needed. Creating a robust process that will protect both the consumer and the company's reputation requires careful planning and the active involvement of each department. Another crucial element is communication, with the public as well as customers and shareholders. The risk posed by the product is one important element but anticipating the consumer's reaction is key. Whether they respond with disinterest to a serious hazard versus outrage requires a different communication strategy. As well, the messages sent at the outset of the recall will be different than when the regulator gets involved and different again as the recall reaches a conclusion.
The course will describe how to create the most comprehensive Recall Plan (or Crisis Response Plan).Once the process has been documented we will review the Data Gathering / Investigation phase specifically and give examples of microbiological studies (e.g. Listeria monocytogenes) important issues to be remembered. We will discuss what are the best practices of an effective crisis communication. We will discuss the roles and approaches under different crisis scenarios.
Areas Covered in the Seminar :
- Why should we have a Crisis Response Plan.
- How to create a flow diagram of the steps in a product recall.
- Develop list of team members' roles and responsibilities at each step.
- Understand product recovery vs product recall and its classification.
- Example of the recent product recall and its trickledown effect.
- Example of investigation process of a Listeria outbreak.
- Review the best practice for effective Crisis Communication.
- Outline the responses / approaches based on a variety of crisis scenarios.
- Questions and discussion: What do you see your role to be and the others in your company and add suggestions.

Medical Devices in the EU: CE Mark and 93/42/EEC Directive
This webinar will provide valuable assistance and guidance to all regulated companies that are preparing for CE Mark and ensuring compliance to MDD 93/42/EEC.
Description:
Originally created July 12, 1993 and mandatory since June 14, 1998, the Directive requires that companies wishing to sell medical devices within the EU must meet the requirements under the directive. The regulations under this mandate can vary from member country to member country concerning translation of key documents to other regulatory laws specific to that region. These additions supplement the set of harmonized standards put in place by the European Commission. These harmonized standards serve to free the flow of goods from one market to another within the EU Medical Device industry. Today, all medical devices sold in the EU must have the CE marking affixed to demonstrate compliance to this directive. If your device falls within the scope of the Medical Devices Directive, then you must meet the essential requirements of that law.
Areas Covered in the seminar :
- Identify the steps required to obtain CE Mark…and meeting compliance expectations.
- Understand how to apply and use the Conformity Assessment Procedure.
- How to classify your medical device correctly?
- Learn how to use the Technical File correctly.
- How to apply the Declaration of Conformity and why this is critical for success?
- How ISO 13485 fits in with this process as a device company?
- Learn and understand the expectations for the Essential Requirements and the Certification Process
- How is the Authorized Representative involved and why…and the ramifications of not meeting the requirements for CE Mark and 93/42/EEC for your company.

How to Manage a Medical Device Recall Efficiently and Effectively
This webinar will provide valuable assistance and guidance to medical device firms that are either going through or preparing to go through a recall and want to understand the strategy and expectations of a recall and FDA's involvement.
Description
Attend this webinar to know the what happens in a recall and what are the strategies and operational procedures in a recall.Recall means the correction or removal of a device for human use where FDA finds that there is a reasonable probability that the device would cause serious, adverse health consequences or death. It is an action taken to address a problem with a medical device that violates FDA law. Recalls occur when a medical device is defective, when it could be a risk to health, or when it is both defective and a risk to health. A medical device recall does not always mean that you must stop using the product or return it to the company. A recall sometimes means that the medical device needs to be checked, adjusted, or fixed. If an implanted device (for example, a pacemaker or an artificial hip) is recalled, it does not always have to be removed. When an implanted device has the potential to fail unexpectedly, companies often tell doctors to contact their patients to discuss the risk of removing the device compared to the risk of leaving it in place. FDA classifies medical device recalls into three categories, representing the potential risk to public health: Class I, II, and III.
Areas Covered in the seminar :
- Create and use a recall operational procedure and what should it contain.
- Understand what are effectiveness checks.
- What happens in a medical device recall.
- Learn why a recall is either a correction or a removal depending on where the action takes place.
- Understand why is required for the recall strategy as expected by FDA.
- Medical device recall authority and guidance.
- Depth of recall and using a viable, sustainable and effective strategy.
- Understand why the documentation and paper trail are so critical and termination of a recall.
