Overview
Determining the efficacy of biocides is critical for maintaining the bioburden levels under control to have a safe, robust and reproducible pharmaceutical process.
However, qualification of biocides is a challenging process, which requires you to consider many parameters and regulatory requirements. Not doing it correctly may lead to contaminations and regulatory complications, which could lead to business shut-down.
This training will help you consider the most important steps in biocide qualification on the surface and accomplish the authorities’ expectations.
This will ease the work of the operators and SME to understand how the biocide will maintain the bioburden of the facility under control.
Completing this course will help you:
- Optimize biocide qualification workload and time consumption. Prevent typical mistakes or misunderstandings.
- Avoid viable contamination on surfaces that could affect the safety and efficacy of the pharmaceutical product.
- Avert safety problems for the patients.
- Minimize batches rejection.
- Avoid observations/warnings from the authorities.
- Comprehension of bacterial spores.
- Determine biocide efficacy on all microorganisms range.
Who is the training for?
The webinar will be highly beneficial to anyone involved in a GMP aseptic production. That includes quality professionals, productions operators, validation experts, Contaminations Control Strategy SMEs, auditors and regulators.
