STAGES INVOLVED in REGULATING DRUGS
4
The minimal necessary level of operation and administration of facilities, methods and controls
To manufacture drug products of consistently high quality
(to assure that the products meets the requirements of the act as to safety and effectiveness which the product purports)
GMP(Good Manufacturing Practice)
5
Designation of a Responsible Person And Independent Quality Assurance Unit Maintenance of Suitable Facilities Definition of Scientifically Sound (Validated) Analytical Methods) The issuance of a Final Report Fully Retrievable and Available Raw Data Use of Calibrated Equipment Accuracy and precision Use of well Maintained Equipment Conducted by Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) Conducted by Qualified Personnel
cGMP Laboratory 21 CFR Ch. 1, Part 211

FOUR BASIC ELEMENTS of GMP: “4Ms”
Men: adequate training
Materials: raw materials, products, reagents,
labels, containers
Machinery: facilities, systems, equipment
Methods: manufacturing, control, validation,
documentation
7
VALIDATION
Establishing documented evidence which provides
a high degree of assurance that a specific process
will consistently produce a product meeting its
pre-determined specifications and quality attributes

“PROCESS VALIDATION” is establishing documented evidence which provides a high degree of assurance that a specific process consistently produce a product meeting it’s predetermined specifications and quality attributes”

Validation versus Qualification
VALIDATION:
Refers to the total life cycle of a product from development through use and maintenance.Customers(Owners) are responsible for Validating Their Processes(personnel, equipment, methods, SOPs) to ensure compliance to CGMP/GLP regulations.
QUALIFICATION: (Inspection, functional testing and documentation review)
Is a part of the validation process which verifies module and system functional performance prior to being placed on-line and thereafter according to a standard operating procedure.
VALIDATION vs. QUALIFICATION

QUALIFICATION vs. CALIBRATION
QUALIFICATION CALIBRATION
Qualification Workbooks(IQ, OQ, PQ) & Project Diskettes
Accuracy, Linearity andPrecision Tests
Appropriate for companies without approved qualification procedures
Meets or exceeds US FDA qualification requirements.
Calibration Protocols
Accuracy Tests Only
Appropriate for companiesthat have approved validation procedures
Basic documentation for maintenance and calibration
