Commissioning, Qualification and Validation (CQV) are requirements of modern facilities within the Life Science industry. Be it a Medical Device Manufacturing, pharmaceuticals or bio-pharmaceuticals, each present challenges in how new facilities, equipment, utilities and processes are introduced. Providing a defined approach to CQV aligns activities to ensure success and the timely completion. This book covers the core elements of CQV including the key steps, terminology and how an integrated approach to CQV can be achieved. Chapter 1-Introduction to Commissioning & Qualification (C&Q) Chapter 2-Facilities Chapter 3-Introduction to Validation Chapter 4-Design Requirement Chapter 5-Risk Management Chapter 6-Validation Planning Chapter 7-Clean Utilities Chapter 8-Equipment Validation Chapter 9-Process Validation Chapter 10-Test Method Validation Chapter 11-Supplier Validation Chapter 12-Summary of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)

Revised to reflect significant advances in pharmaceutical production and regulatory expectations, Handbook of Validation in Pharmaceutical Processes, Fourth Edition examines and blueprints every step of the validation process needed to remain compliant and competitive. This book blends the use of theoretical knowledge with recent technological advancements to achieve applied practical solutions. As the industry's leading source for validation of sterile pharmaceutical processes for more than 10 years, this greatly expanded work is a comprehensive analysis of all the fundamental elements of pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical production processes. Handbook of Validation in Pharmaceutical Processes, Fourth Edition is essential for all global health care manufacturers and pharmaceutical industry professionals. Key Features: Provides an in-depth discussion of recent advances in sterilization Identifies obstacles that may be encountered at any stage of the validation program, and suggests the newest and most advanced solutions Explores distinctive and specific process steps, and identifies critical process control points to reach acceptable results New chapters include disposable systems, combination products, nano-technology, rapid microbial methods, contamination control in non-sterile products, liquid chemical sterilization, and medical device manufacture

Often considered a necessary evil by the pharmaceutical industry, validation is still understood by many as unrestrained bureaucracy, paperwork, and procedures whose roots and logic are obscure and only serve to slow down progress. Thoroughly defining the philosophy, application, and processes, Facility Validation: Theory, Practice, and Tools explo

Equipment Qualification in the Pharmaceutical Industry provides guidance and basic information for the preparation of a quality qualification program. It has been noted that there is a general lack of understanding in the industry, especially for those new to the industry, as to what constitutes a compliant qualification program. Even experienced professionals have felt a lack of security in reaching a compliant state. This book outlines a guideline for the preparation and execution of qualification protocols including the installation (IQ), operational (OQ), and performance (PQ) protocols. It discusses the importance of related qualification programs (e.g., quality systems, commissioning, computer system, and cleaning) and how to incorporate them into a fully compliant qualification program. Furthermore, it provides matrices of what could be included in each type of protocol for major types of process equipment. While primarily for people entering the pharmaceutical industry, those established in the field will benefit from the multiple examples and matrices as well as integration of related systems. Equipment Qualification in the Pharmaceutical Industry provides students and pharmaceutical scientists a guideline for the preparation and execution of qualification (installation, operational, and performance) protocols. - Incorporates good manufacturing processes into a compliant qualification program - Provides examples of protocol layout - Includes matrices for major process equipment, installation quality, operational quality, and performance quality requirements
