Validation of each sterilization method will be discussed and how best to prove to a regulatory body the products being treated are considered sterile.

This training program will cover statistical hypothesis testing concepts including: null and alternate hypotheses, test statistics, p-values, confidence intervals, confidence levels, power, power curves, and sample sizes. Several types of hypothesis tests will be covered such as 1 and 2-sample means tests, tests of variances, and tests of proportions. Equivalence tests will also be discussed. The importance of selecting appropriate sample sizes will be stressed.

The webinar will provide comprehension learning on how to identify and improve your complaint handling process. Learn from an expert the regulations on reviewing, receiving, management criteria for you Complaint Handling Unit. Don’t get caught in being over one-third of firms in 2019 that were issued a 483 and received an FDA Warning Letters citing lack of inadequate complaint handing procedures.

In this training program, attendees will understand when and why to apply DOE (design of experiments). They will also learn to identify and interpret significant factor effects and 2-factor interactions and develop predictive models to explain and optimize process/product behavior. Applying efficient fractional factorial designs in screening experiments will also be discussed.
