Most Regulatory Agencies require firms to have written procedures in place to document production and process controls, better known as batch records. Additionally, there must be written procedures for a batch record review process that demonstrate compliance.
The production and manufacture of pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, etc., involve critical processing parameters. In order to properly document these processing parameters, a strong batch record review system is essential.
This webinar with expert speaker Danielle DeLucy, MS, will analyze each of these necessary elements of the batch record review process.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize regulatory requirements for batch records and batch record review
- Discover the essentials of batch record reviewer qualifications and training
- Establish a working relationship between production and quality reviewers
- What to do when a batch fails to meet specifications (discrepancies and deviations)
Why Should You Attend:
Batch Record Review is a critical part of your operations. This practice is both a vital component to your quality efforts, and a global regulatory requirement. Your firm's production efforts must be carefully documented.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), process controls, and deviations all fall under the purview of batch control. If your efforts are clear, concise, and repeatable, then you have nothing to fear. If your batch control documents are difficult to read, sloppy or worse - non-existent - then look forward to a litany of sanctions, recalls, and costly delays.
Upon completion of this session, attendees will learn the fundamentals for reviewing batch records in a pharmaceutical environment. They will hear about the proper training that must be demonstrated before one is considered a suitable reviewer of these critical documents and they will learn how to react to discrepancies found in these records.
