FDA Warning Letters and recent high-profile recalls indicate major cGMP deficiencies in big name device and pharma companies. One major failing is lack of sufficient or targeted risk-based V&V planning and execution.  But a review of Internet forums shows confusion as to what is V&V planning.  What really is a Master Validation Plan? Why do companies need one?   What is the individual V&V plan and its high value. What are the "must have" elements from ISO 14971 and ICH Q9 for hazard analysis and product risk management?  How can these be integrated?   What are the differences and similarities between Product, Equipment (production and lab/test), Process, and QMS V&V.  How to structure software / firmware V&V so it’s acceptable to the FDA?

Course Objectives:

What is Verification?  Validation?   Pharma.  Medical Devices.  Review the company Validation Master  Plan for purpose and content.  Address the FDA's newer and tougher regulatory stance on V&V.  One major failing is lack of sufficient or targeted risk-based V&V planning.  Starting with a Validation Master Plan, evaluating its elements against ISO 14971 and ICH Q9 for hazard analysis and product risk management, allows the development of meaningful product and process validations.  Also the role of the individual V&V plan.  The  different validation protocols; how to employ equipment / process DQs, IQs, OQs, and PQs, or their equivalents, against a background of limited company resources.  Our matrix simplifies "as-product", in-product", process and equipment, et al, software VT&V, assuring key FDA requirements are not overlooked.  The QMS and 21 CFR Part 11 are also discussed.  The information provided will allow the project leader to develop key milestones / tasks for a successful V&V project, that have cleared FDA and Notified Body review.

Why Should You Attend:

Both the U.S. FDA CGMPs and Guidance Documents  and EU's MDD/MDR and standards require documented risk-based "master" and "individual" V&V planning and execution with clearly documented Test Reports / Protocols.
