Pharmaceutical Master Validation Plan

One of the most common reasons so many new drug, medical device, or equipment applications are rejected each year by the FDA is the failure to properly develop and document plans and procedures. This is required of both U.S. and foreign companies wishing to market their products in the United States. The lack of well defined validation standard operating procedures may result in adverse FDA findings, recalls, and heavy financial losses. Key FDA guidelines on good manufacturing practice (GMP), good laboratory practice (GLP), and validation do not describe exactly how to develop a master validation plan, how to achieve compliance, or the standard operating procedures and documentation required. This text provides the required validation standard operating procedures and documentation necessary for achieving compliance in the pharmaceutical industry. The text and CD are designed to minimize workload and optimize time, money, and resources. A comprehensive when-and-how-to-do-it guide, Validation Standard Operating Procedures provides the needed administrative solutions and guidance for achieving compliance with FDA requirements, and for obtaining authorization to market products in the United States. The CD-ROM contains 74 template validation standard operating procedures that can be tailored to meet the regulatory compliance requirements of any pharmaceutical, diagnostic, medical device, medical equipment, and biotech product. You can edit, print, and customize these procedures to fit your needs. The book and CD work together to minimize the number of documents used and to ensure their accuracy. All critical elements and requirements of validation are covered, so you can easily implement them and avoid the stress that usually accompanies an FDA audit. Features Provides all the information that managers need to establish functions, acceptance criteria, and validation procedures in compliance with FDA guidelines Includes step-by-step directions for translating GMP requirements into action, based on your company's Master Validation Plan and execution protocols Describes how to establish test functions and prevent defects in order to produce products that are fit for use Serves as an ideal companion to Haider's Pharmaceutical Master Validation Plan

For the past decade, process validation issues ranked within the top six of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) form 483 observation findings issued each year. This poses a substantial problem for the medical device industry and is the reason why the authors wanted to write this book. The authors will share their collective knowledge: to help organizations improve patient safety and increase profitability while maintaining a state of compliance with regulations and standards. The intent of this book is to provide manufacturing quality professionals working in virtually any industry a quick, convenient, and comprehensive guide to properly conduct process validations that meet regulatory and certification requirements. It will aid quality technicians, engineers, managers, and others that need to plan, conduct, and monitor validation activities.

How to Validate a Pharmaceutical Process provides a “how to approach to developing and implementing a sustainable pharmaceutical process validation program. The latest volume in the Expertise in Pharmaceutical Process Technology Series, this book illustrates the methods and reasoning behind processes and protocols. It also addresses practical problems and offers solutions to qualify and validate a pharmaceutical process. Understanding the “why is critical to a successful and defensible process validation, making this book an essential research companion for all practitioners engaged in pharmaceutical process validation. Thoroughly referenced and based on the latest research and literature Illustrates the most common issues related to developing and implementing a sustainable process validation program and provides examples on how to be successful Covers important topics such as the lifecycle approach, quality by design, risk assessment, critical process parameters, US and international regulatory guidelines, and more

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

Completely revised and updated to reflect the significant advances in pharmaceutical production and regulatory expectations, this third edition of Validation of Pharmaceutical Processes examines and blueprints every step of the validation process needed to remain compliant and competitive. The many chapters added to the prior compilation examine va

This up-to-date and unique monograph covers the different aspects of pharmaceutical validation, calibration, qualification and documentation. It discusses the various methods and processes under all these heads. It includes eight major sections and exhaustively covers each topic.The book includes interesting and timely topics like the ‘Validation of herbals’ considering the increasing reliance on herbal medicines. It includes a section of validation of dosage forms, which is an essential topic for any pharmaceutical scientist. The chapters provide lucid illustrations, figures, flowcharts and other diagrams to facilitate understanding. A final section on 'expert opinion' provides a rundown about the global scenario to the readers. The book serves as a complete reference material for students, researchers and industry experts in the field of pharmaceutical sciences, medicinal chemistry and pharmacology.

While FDA regulations, cGMP, GLP, GCP, and the industry standard ISO 9000 require that documentation be established and followed, they do not provide guidelines on how to produce that documentation. Pharmaceutical Equipment Validation gives details on how to demonstrate compliance, what data to use, and how to produce the appropriate documentation. This book's user-friendly diagrams and other clear graphics illustrate key ideas throughout each protocol, offering a bird's-eye view of what is coming next-and they quickly guide you through the equipment validation. The author provides a thorough understanding of how to prepare, test, and complete equipment qualification protocols. He also explains how to perform qualification testing and whether to test the equipment for a worst case scenario. No other book deals exclusively with the key issues of equipment qualification and process validation for pharmaceutical process equipment-and provides instructions on how to achieve it. With pragmatic approach, this book includes 38 useful protocol templates, already completed, that provide instant answers to most protocol writing and testing questions. These templates cover specific equipment types, such, and provide accurate, industry acceptable equipment qualification protocols. Step-by-step, they show how to qualify each piece of equipment, and they provide a check for readers own protocols.
