What: Webinar: "Business and Operational Risks in Clinical and Safety: Applying Appropriate Technology and Approaches to Mitigate Risk"

All business processes are subject to some level of risk. Key to the long term viability of any company is the critical need to identify the risks, quantify them, minimize them, and have a clear plan for dealing with any residual risks.

Organizations try to mitigate risks by implementing systems that support the company's business processes. Commercial software systems that are available from vendors such as Oracle include many capabilities which, if implemented properly, greatly reduce the risks in the business process.

The implementation of complex systems is, in itself, a risky process. Organizations like BioPharm Systems have been able to use their wide range of experience to develop pre-configured and pre-validated solutions that help reduce the risks during the implementation of a clinical trial management system (CTMS) and a safety system.

This one and a half-hour webinar will provide an overview of business risks related to clinical and safety systems and will illustrate how the risks inherent in implementing complex CTMS and safety systems can be significantly reduced.

This environmental monitoring training will review the best practices for setting environmental monitoring alert and action levels for viable and non-viable data including product bioburden. In addition this webinar will address the responses/actions that should be taken when an excursion in the alert or action level occurs.

Description
Why Should You Attend:
Medical products are manufactured in environments that are designed to control the level of viable and non-viable particulate and these environments must be monitored to establish that the control measures are continuing to perform acceptably including the impact to product bioburden. You need to establish appropriate limits for ongoing monitoring so it is critical that you know how to set these limits. But once these limits have been set it is also critical for you to know what actions need to be taken to determine if there is product impact or other implications to the manufacturing process when the monitoring results exceed these defined limits.

This presentation will review best practices for setting bioburden/environmental monitoring limits and the various items that should be included in an investigation to determine the cause of a limit excursion for both viable and non-viable excursions. It will provide guidance on how to determine the who, what, when, where so that you can figure out the how and why. It will also provide guidance on how to write your investigation story so that manufacturing and regulatory bodies will be able to follow the investigation coming to the same how and why that you did.

Areas Covered in the Seminar:

Best practices for monitoring and establishing limits.
Product bioburden
Viable particulate
Non-viable particulate
Do I really need to investigate if the alert limits are exceeded?
Investigating an alert limit excursion.
In the environment
On the product

In this Bioanalytical methods validation understand the Clear, Consistent and compliant approaches for instrumental, ligand binding, and cell based methods.

Description
Why should you Attend:
Bioanalytical method validation includes various procedures that demonstrate that a particular method used for quantitative measurement of analytes in a given biological matrix, such as blood, plasma, serum, or urine, is reliable and reproducible for the intended use. It is essential to employ well-characterized and fully validated bioanalytical methods to yield reliable results which can be satisfactorily interpreted.

This webinar will discuss the best practices of Bioanalytical method validation, including components of a validation, how to include critical reagents comparison, selectivity experiments, assessment of stability. Concept of plate and experiment separation. Importance of communication between the development and the validation labs, accuracy of transfer documents (SOPs).
