This training is aimed at Production, QA and engineering Departments of pharmaceutical companies to maintain product quality and patient safety in a regulatory compliant and agile production life cycle. Suppliers for the pharmaceutical industry are also addressed in order to better understand the requirements of their customers.
This GMP training aims at unveiling possible risks of cross contamination during the production process of pharmaceutical products and APIs. This is especially important for patients’ safety, product quality and to be in compliance with chapters 3 and 5 of the EU GMP regulation. The prevention of cross contamination has to be documented accordingly taking into consideration QRM principles according to ICH Q9.
Learn:
- How to detect possible risks
- How to avoid cross contamination
- How to prove the avoidance of cross contamination
- Ho to document a regulatory-compliant strategy

Cross Contamination through poor Equipment Design
- Cleanability of equipment as the key to avoiding crosscontamination
- In-line cleanability? – Cleanability for parts that are disassembled?
- Importance of drainability (cross contamination by product and detergent residues)
- Gap-free and dead-space-free design of system components
- Components (connections, valves, pumps, sensors)
- Mixing and preparation vessels, bioreactors
- Cross contamination due to lack of technical support
- Deterioration of surface Quality
- Wear of static and dynamic seals
Cleaning & Cleaning Validation
- Poor Cleaning – main reason for cross contamination
- Dealing with multipurpose strategies in cross contamination control
- Cross contamination – main focus of cleaning Validation
Documentation: CCS, HBEL assessment, QRM
- Cross contamination control and CCS
- HBEL – from the environmental risk to patient’s risk
- Cross contamination control – it is all about QRM
