Holding Vendors Accountable through Robust Contracts and Service Level Agreements (SLA) for Products and Services Used in FDA-Regulated Operations
In this webinar, the attendees will learn about the many best practices that will lead to a better and sounder contract and SLA. It does not require a lot of effort but must be done with diligence.Computer systems that are used in FDA-regulated environments (i.e., the system “touches” an FDA-regulated product or a raw material or packaging component used in conjunction with the product during the manuf..
Applying Six Sigma "Downtime" in the Bioanalytical Lab
Applies the consideration of the acronym "DOWNTIME" to improve function and efficiency in the LAB. - Defects- reduce or eliminate - Overproduction reduces waste of materials, time, and personnel - Waiting to eliminate waiting on resource access or permission - Non-utilized resources- instruments, personnel - Transportation-movement (temporal or spatial) of resources/or documents&nbs..
The Human Error Toolbox: A Practical Approach to Human Error
Human error is known to be the primary cause of quality and production losses in many industries. Although human error is unlikely to ever be eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage. From procedures, training, and workplace environment, many variables that affect human behavior can be managed, reducing the likelihood of these occurrences. When wor..
21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 Compliance; specifics needed to eliminate 483s when using SaaS/Cloud
This webinar describes exactly what is required for compliance with Computer Software Assurance guidance, 21 CFR Part 11, and the European equivalent Annex 11 for local and SaaS/Cloud-hosted applications. It explains how to write a Data Privacy Statement for compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). What the regulations mean is described for all four primary compliance areas: SOPs, s..
Unlocking Manufacturing Effectiveness: Practical Strategies for Overcoming Production Constraints
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, being busy doesn’t always translate to being productive. Operations that appear smooth on the surface may in fact be stagnant—or even declining—in terms of output. The hidden culprit is often an overlooked constraint or bottleneck quietly limiting the entire system’s performance.In this session, industry expert José Ignacio Mora shares a practical approach in..
Essentials of Post Market Surveillance and Vigilance - Do you know the requirements?
The post-market phase of a product’s lifecycle is as crucial as its development and pre-market phases. Once a product reaches the market, its real-world performance, safety, and effectiveness must be closely monitored to meet regulatory requirements and ensure patient safety. Post Market Surveillance (PMS) and vigilance programs are essential tools in identifying potential risks, mitigating issues, and driv..
Writing Clinical Study Reports with clarity and Precision
Writing clinical study documents with clarity and precision is essential for ensuring accurate communication among regulatory agencies, clinical investigators, ethics committees, and other stakeholders. Clinical documents, such as study protocols, investigator brochures, and clinical study reports, serve as the foundation for regulatory submissions and decision-making. Any ambiguity or lack of precision can..
Top Ten Best Practices for Establishing a Coherent Validation Compliance Program to Support a Diverse Technology Landscape
We will explore the best practices and strategic approach for evaluating computer systems used in the conduct of FDA-regulated activities and determining the level of potential risk, should they fail, on data integrity, process and product quality, and consumer/patient safety. We will walk through the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach to validation, based on risk assessment, and will also discus..

Statistical Process Control through the use of control charts and Nelson’s Rules
Control charts are based on the normal distribution of data expected in a laboratory operation, the Gaussian distribution of occurrences. There are well-defined probabilities for the data. Whether it is the overall performance of a test method, the performance of a device or instrument, the behaviour of a calibration curve, the peak shapes in chromatography, or many other variables, the maintenance of good ..
Compliance Auditing and Monitoring - Techniques for Auditing Compliance and Monitoring Adherence to Regulations
