Why Should You Attend:

This training session will provide an understanding of the regulations guiding the sterility testing program and the process of conducting an effective, robust and compliant sterility test investigation for various types of sterile products. Attendees will gain an understanding of:

? The step by step investigational tool to apply when conducting sterility test failure investigation.

? How to delineate between a probable and an affirmative root cause using the recovered contaminant based on the investigational findings.

? Possible corrective and preventative actions and how to apply the results of the investigation (investigational findings) to other manufactured batches of products within the same cleanroom.

? Disposition of the manufactured batch of product with a failed sterility test result, regulatory guidelines associated with a retest of the affected batch and handling a sterility failure associated with a commercially distributed product under stability testing program.

The content of a sterility test investigation form to provide robustness to an investigational process will be shared with the attendees as a tool that may be used when designing a sterility failure investigation program.

Learning Objectives:

? Discuss the regulations guiding manufactured product sterility testing such as USP Sterility Testing and how to ensure adherence to program testing requirements.

? Step by step process in conducting sterility test failure investigation and what to look for during the entire investigation process.

? Discuss the role of contaminant as a key tool during investigational process such as microbial identification of contaminant and if it is important or not important - why or why not?

? Performing a product retest during a sterility failure investigation and how to apply corrective and preventative action based on the findings of a sterility failure investigation.

? How to disposition impacted products based on investigational findings while avoiding common mistakes during product disposition.

? Impact of sterility failure investigation for commercially distributed products under a stability testing program.
