This short video discusses Using a Risk Assessment strategy to identify microbiological plate incubation conditions and also data interpretation: Applying identified incubation conditions.

Annex 1 requires designing an effective contamination control strategy based on a scientific assessment to understand the process and to apply risk management principles. The latest Annex 1 frequently uses the terms “risk” “justify” and “strategy”, underlying the importance of these concepts.

Paola Lazzeri discusses relevant Annex 1 areas (4.1, 4.32, 9.6, 9.21, 9.24, 9.29, 9.33, 9.38, 9.45), providing insights and highlighting important considerations when creating a contamination control strategy.

An industry expert explains the latest guidelines from Annex 1 around Cleanroom Classification, Qualification, and Monitoring. Starting with defining each of these items, through the latest changes, Maurizio Della Pietra guides the viewers through items to consider including identifying sampling points, the need for a risk assessment, and the latest microbial requirements.

Our expert Contamination Control Advisors are available to assist you.

This video covers the 2020.03 (rev 12) sections of Annex 1 related to Alternative micro methods and rapid microbial. The presenter is Frank Panofen, PhD, of Particle Measuring Systems.
