Automating Assays for Clinical Diagnostics
Laboratories need to transition technologies all of the time. From new ways to perform assays to outdated technology, to new equipment pushes to the various needs of end users, assays need to switch between technologies on a regular basis. One needs to be able to easily and robustly transition assays from one technology to another. With this seminar, you will be able to fully understand how your essay is cu..
CAPA: Corrective and Preventative Actions and Addressing Non-Conformances
CAPA is both a precursor to and component of RCA that helps people prevent non-conformances from occurring and if all else fails; answer the question of why the non-conformance occurred in the first place. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a popular and often-used technique that helps people answer the question of why the problem. What is a non-conformance? When you have a non-conformance in the laboratory..
Capturing Justifications in Change Control, Risk Assessment, Validations, and Investigations
When there is a need to make some change to an environment and/or resolve a problem, we must think about a project that could implement the necessary change and address the problem. But we can’t just run our project without proper justification. Justifying the project is a great mechanism to confirm that our project really addresses the need and paves the way for improvement. It helps us assure interested p..
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning for Computer Systems Regulated by FDA
FDA guidelines are very specific in terms of how computer systems are to be managed, and each company should have a specific strategy and methodology, along with a set of rigorous tactical processes and procedures that prescribe how Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning should be carried out. This is necessary to protect against the onslaught of threats and attacks, both from natural disasters ..
FDA Compliance and Mobile Applications
We will discuss in detail how computer system validation can be applied to mobile applications subject to FDA regulations. This is critical in order to develop the appropriate validation strategy and achieve the thoroughness required to prove that a system does what it purports to do. It also ensures that a system is maintained in a validated state throughout its entire life cycle, from conception through r..

How Successfully Apply for a Breakthrough Therapy Designation
The Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) is perhaps one of the most impactful incentives from the FDA as it helps get the product to market much faster than any other expedited approval pathway. Once a drug is successful in getting the BTD, the non-clinical and clinical requirements for market approval are significantly reduced. The applicants can request special meetings with FDA to discuss the developme..
Human Factors Validation Testing Following ISO 62366 and new FDA Guidance
Following the implementation of the results of a Human Factors/ Usability study, a validation of the safety and effectiveness of the use of the device must be conducted. We will explain the FDA required the number of validation participants from each "distinct user population". We will explain how to choose the tests to be conducted and the studies that must be completed prior to the actual validation test...
In Depth Testing of Computer Systems Regulated by FDA
We will discuss the importance of applying industry best practices when performing the validation process for a computerized system used in an FDA-regulated environment (i.e., the system "touches" product during the manufacturing, testing or distribution process). Such a system must be validated in accordance with FDA guidelines for computerized systems and documented accordingly. Testing is a very large co..

Such a system must be validated in accordance with FDA guidelines for computerized systems and documented accordingly. There are legal, regulator..
Mathematics of Terminal Sterilization - Probability of Survival Approach -vs- Overkill Approach
Heat sterilization is a PROBABILITY function dependent on heat exposure, the number of microorganisms, and the heat resistance of the microorganisms. Current regulations expect the sterilization process to provide a level of assurance of at least 1 x 10-6 probability (fewer than one non-sterile unit per million units) of survival (non-sterility) for terminally sterilized parenteral and medical devices. Sinc..
