This class will be a hybrid. Some will be online and some will be at the Courtyard Marriott - Marlboro, MA
This seminar will provide an understanding of FDA and ISO 13485 requirements for process validation with respect to statistical techniques. A Case Study will be used to demonstrate the statistical techniques used during the various stages of process validation (IQ, OQ and PQ).
Why Should You Attend
Process validation is a requirement but knowing when to validate or revalidate a process is essential. If you do not validate you risk enforcement actions such as fines or recalls, but too much validation is costly in both time and money. This seminar will focus on the statistical techniques used for this important topic for those who are new to quality or new to process validation. It will:
- Cover the statistical requirements for process validation from FDA Guidance for Industry- Process Validation: General Principles and Practices and ISO 13485.
- Discuss when process validation and revalidation are necessary or desirable.
- Provide an overview of what is required for process validation.
- Provide a Case Study to demonstrate the statistical techniques used during the various stages of process validation (IQ, OQ and PQ).
- Provide a sample Standard Operating Procedure for Statistical Methods and Analysis.
Learning Objectives
- What is the Difference between Verification and Validation
- Understand what process validation is
