About the Webinar
Microbial and product contamination is one of the major challenges faced by manufacturing companies within the GMP regulated industries. These contamination events will lead to production downtime, time spent on investigations, product recalls and risk to patient safety. This presentation will look at the past FDA citations (Warning Letters and 483s) related to cleaning and disinfection, process equipment cleaning and sterilization processes. Valuable lessons can be learnt from these past FDA citations which will enable companies to avoid having similar regulatory citations. In addition, this will also help to minimize the risk of microbial and particle contamination in finished products.
