Objectives
Systems must be qualified, and processes must be validated. These principles have applied in the pharmaceutical environment for many years. For many reasons, there are always cases in which this procedure cannot be implemented prospectively, or only with difficulty. These include equipment and systems that are purchased second-hand, equipment that has been used for non-GMP purposes, and equipment that has acquired from other companies.
Are such equipment/systems no longer fit for use in the GMP environment, or can they still be appropriately qualified and validated? This live online training offers you solutions on how to deal with this situation and focuses on the following questions:
Are such equipment/systems no longer fit for use in the GMP environment, or can they still be appropriately qualified and validated? This live online training offers you solutions on how to deal with this situation and focuses on the following questions:
- Can you still operate legacy systems, and if so, to what extent?
- What can the auditor expect, and what solutions would be considered acceptable?
- How can existing systems be specified retrospectively?
- How can compliance be achieved from a QA perspective?
- What can be done if important cybersecurity issues can no longer be technically controlled?
