Environmental Monitoring as a Component of a Contamination Control Strategy

The implementation of a Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) requires a technical and process understanding of the potential sources of contamination. The role of Environmental Monitoring as a Component of a Contamination Control Strategy is essential to successfully attain that goal.

In this introductory webinar we review those elements of an environmental system to be considered within a documented CCS:

-Process risk assessment.

-Monitoring systems – including an assessment of the feasibility of the introduction of scientifically sound, modern methods that optimize the detection of environmental contamination.

-Prevention – trending, investigation, corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), root cause determination, and the need for more comprehensive investigational tools.

and finally continuous improvement based on information derived from the above.

Who should attend this webinar:

All Pharmaceutical cleanroom users, especially those working in the following departments;

  • Quality Assurance
  • Quality Control
  • Information Technology
  • Engineering
  • Production
