This Process Validation training will look at the underlying statistical concepts to perform an effective process validation. The webinar examine elements of the FDA regulations for process validation (21 CFR §820.75) as well as the corresponding requirements in ISO 13485.
The FDA’s Quality system regulation requires device manufacturers to validate processes when they don’t fully verify the resulting output. Based on Warning Letters, the FDA expects manufacturers to validate processes when the output check uses sampling instead of 100% inspection.
The presentation looks at these aspects of process validation using the unifying approach of a statistical model. Rather than a fundamental examination of how to perform process validation, this seminar covers the tools necessary to use the statistical model.
Why Should You Attend:
If you conduct process validation, you need to ensure that your results are valid. Beyond the regulatory requirements, statistical approaches will help you achieve the desired result – processes that produce only conforming material. This is the essence of the statistical approach.
This webinar presents the statistical approach that will help you validate your processes. Your team should attend this webinar if you cannot easily answer these questions.
- Can you give the statistical rational for you verification sampling plans?
- Can you state the desired and actual process capability you need to achieve?
- Can you list the worst-case input parameter combination for your process?
- Do you know how to determine challenge points for your process?
- Have you set action limits for your process inputs?
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- QMS Requirements for Process Validation.
- FDA’s QSR (21 CFR §820.75)
- ISO 13485:2003
- The Statistical Process Model.
- The Process Output.
- The Process Input Parameters.
- Risk Management.
- Validated Processes as High Risk
Who Will Benefit:
This seminar is for people involved in the validation of production processes. Validation requirements start in the design output (setting the requirements), continues to design transfer (where the requirements are set as process parameters), and finally to process validation to ensure the resulting output achieves the requirements
