FDA - Is Your cGMP Water System Ready for their Visit?

cGMP pharmaceutical water systems require specific Design, Documentation, Manufacturing, Installation, Testing, Commissioning, Start Up, Validation, Quality Testing and Extended Operation to become available for pharmaceutical manufacturing of products for sale.

This course will cover the items and procedures that are required to accomplish the items listed above that will enable the pharmaceutical water system to be approved and placed in use.

Another requirement is expertise in instrumentation and automation.

Good Practices for Pharma Water Systems that will prevent problems will be presented.

Why should you Attend: cGMP Water Systems require numerous steps to be ready for their Assembly, Testing, Commissioning, Validation and Approval for cGMP use. These steps require previous experience to be accomplished properly.

If "ALL" the FDA procedures are not included and recorded in GMP Water Systems Commissioning and Validation the way the FDA anticipates, the Approval of the System and its use can be delayed. Sections of the work and documentation may require repeating steps of the work, explanations of how the work was done, additional time and costs before being placed into use.

This course will cover the details that will enable the work to be accomplished quickly and properly with minimum delays.
