Course Description:
Warning Letters continue to occur at a frequency that mirrors previous years. However, one of the major differences is that many of them are now originating in India, the second largest supplier of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and finished drug products. The FDA, having recognized this, has now increased their staff to three offices and nineteen investigators across the country.
As a result of this enhanced presence, more Warning Letters are arising from India and they provide excellent examples of issues that everyone should heed. The observations provide room for reflection and a better understanding of CFRs (210/211) that form their basis. Many of the observations suggest that the investigators are merely retrieving low hanging fruit and one must ask the question what will they find within difficult areas like analytical chemical method validations, equipment qualifications, cleaning validations, bacterial endotoxin testing, etc.
This two day seminar will instruct attendees on:
- How to deconstruct Warning Letters to determine what is boilerplate and what is meaningful.
- The contents of most Warning Letters and their essence.
- Warning Letter citations and best practices to avoid them within your facilities.
Using a variety of Warning Letters categorized to represent major observations as well as other highlighted FDA observational findings from both Form FDA 483s and Warning Letters, attendees will be able to establish a foundation to examine their own facility and learn whether any of the most frequently cited observations might relate to their firm and its Good Manufacturing Practices.
The objective of this interactive two day seminar is to:
- Explore the various CFRs (21 CFR 210/211)
- Discern how these various regulatory requirements lead to observations
- Determine what the observations mean
- Understand how the regulators interpret the requirements
- Understand how they are reflected within the final documents the client receives – be it a Form FDA 483 or a Warning Letter
This seminar is a must for those who reply to or review regulatory observations.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the elements within a Warning Letter that constitute the boilerplate
- Understand those areas that establish the essence of a Warning Letter
- Explore the most common observations within Form FDA 483s and Warning Letters based on FDA’s own summaries
- Review the various words and key phrases that may alert a company as to the agency’s thinking
- Obtain an interpretation of the citations within both selected and groupings of Warning Letters
- Understand the requirements and actions that a company must initiate based on these common observations
- Review various categories of Warning Letters and how they relate to 21 CFR 210/211
- Review various case studies
