Environmental Monitoring Program for Aseptic Processing

Environmental Monitoring Program for Aseptic Processing

An Environmental Monitoring (EM) program  provides meaningful information on the quality of  the aseptic processing environment as well as environmental  trends of ancillary clean areas. Environmental monitoring should promptly  identify potential routes of contamination, allowing for implementation of corrections before product  contamination occurs.The establishment of the EM program, training of personnel, data assessment, investigations and product disposition as defined  by regulatory organizations highlight course content.

Audience

Personnel in manufacturing, Quality control, Quality Assurance, Investigations and CAPA resolution and Regulatory Affairs will gain important information in the establishment and implementation of an environmental monitoring program.

Topics Include

This two day,16 hour course, covers the following topics:

  • Importance of microbiological evaluation  program for controlled environments
  • Critical  factors involved in design and  implementation of a EM control program
  • Review regulatory requirements for  environmental monitoring programs
  • Establishment of cleanrooms classification and validation requirements
  • Sanitization program for EM
  • Training  and  certification  of
  • personnel (manufacturing and QA/QC)
  • Establishment of sampling plan and sites
  • Establishment of Alert and Action levels
  • Data trending/analysis
  • Methodology for quantitative sampling of airborne and surface microorganisms
