The first in a series of webinars designed to cover the critical steps, focusing on the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and the essential elements needed to develop a robust sterility assurance system and contamination control strategy
Sterile pharmaceutical preparations - injections, infusions and pharmaceutical forms for application on eyes and on mucous membranes - are expected to be efficacious and safe.
The safety includes being sterile and free from microbial toxins and visible particles. However, achieving sterility is not straightforward, requiring a series of manufacturing controls and sterilisation steps.
Assurance of sterility is obtained through an assessment of environmental controls, staff training, sterile components, environmental monitoring, and the end product sterility test. This means sterile products manufacturing itself is a continuum that stretches from development to manufacturing, to finished product, to marketing and distribution, and to utilisation of drugs and biologics.
The webinars are designed to cover the critical steps, focusing on the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and the essential elements needed to develop a robust sterility assurance system and contamination control strategy.Wednesday 1 April 2020 14:00 – 15:00 (BST)
