Pharmaceutical Master Validation Plan: The Ultimate Guide to FDA, GMP, and GLP Compliance

The Master Validation Plan provides a roadmap to management for on-time start-up of facility operations, and validation of existing facilities, in compliance with GMP requirements. The lack of a comprehensive Master Validation Plan and well-documented validation procedures is the main reason that new drug, medical device, medical equipment, and related product applications are rejected by the FDA. In fact, only about 2% of the applications submitted by foreign pharmaceutical companies are approved each year. This thorough guide provides the needed solutions and guidance for both foreign and U.S. companies to achieve FDA compliance and authorization to market their products in the United States. Pharmaceutical Master Validation Plan: The Ultimate Guide to FDA, GMP, and GLP Compliance will allow you to more easily achieve satisfactory inspections, new medical product approval, minimize non-conformance, reduce rework and rejected lots, and avoid recall lots by developing and managing a Master Validation Plan. The accompanying CD allows users to input the template plan into their computers and tailor it to incorporate additional regulatory requirements specific to individual companies worldwide and print the required documents. Together, the book and CD contain everything required to develop and execute a successful Master Validation Plan based on FDA guidelines for the pharmaceutical industry, and allows the templates to be extended to diagnostic products, medical device, medical equipment, and biotech industry products.

Testing Computers Systems for FDA/MHRA Compliance

There is no substitute for extensive testing when it comes to IT systems. Recognition that problems are easier and cheaper to fix before the system is in use (rather than after), has turned testing into a cost-effective tool. However, when developing computer systems for pharmaceuticals manufacturing, testing to meet regulatory requirements adds an additional layer of complexity. Testing Computers Systems for FDA/MHRA Compliance focuses on software module, software integration, hardware, and system acceptance testing. Reflecting the renewed emphasis of the FDA and other global regulatory agencies towards systematic inspections and risk-based validation with an underlying scientific rationale, this guide focuses on current best practices in computer systems testing in the regulatory environment. David Stokes demonstrates how the principles detailed in the GAMP 4 Guide can be used to define a pragmatic approach to testing. He includes techniques for testing large Internet-based systems for compliance with the stringent requirements of regulations such as 21CFR Part 11, and clarifies the relationship and responsibilities of the system "user" and "supplier". The author also delineates where testing starts in the project lifecycle, who performs what testing, where the lines of responsibility start and end, and the differences in the terminology used in the healthcare and general IT sectors. A checklist of questions to be used when developing System Test Specification(s), and templates for documenting typical system test results, round out the features that make this book a practical guide for all those involved in the development and implementation of IT systems for the pharmaceutical and related healthcare manufacturing industries. Senior managers, team project leaders, project team members, and industry trainees, will all benefit from this clear and practical guide.

Combination Products: Regulatory Challenges and Successful Product Development

The field of combination product development (products born of the integration of medical devices, biologics, and drugs) is so new that, while literature abounds on each part individually, there are very few publications, including FDA documents, available concerning the unique challenges posed by this nascent but fast-growing area. Providing the first in-depth look at this breakthrough field, Combination Products includes practical guidelines and a detailed step-by-step process for the development of these novel technologies. It addresses the technical, scientific, regulatory, and quality issues that arise when combining drugs, biologics, and medical devices into a single product. It takes a practical, readily applicable approach to discussing the challenges, victories, and pitfalls associated with merging technologies and systems and how to implement these products into the market successfully and in a timely manner. Specifically, this text explores the process from start to finish, establishing a workable design and development plan complete with relevant definitions. It reviews FDA and other regulatory expectations and covers resource requirements, manufacturing pitfalls, post-launch compliance requirements, and agency audits and challenges. Drawing on the experience and expertise of two leaders in their respective fields, Combination Products boasts the credentials of Dr. Smita Gopalaswamy, a 20 year veteran of technical consulting responsibilities in medical device, biologics, and pharmaceutical industries as well as combination products, along with the support of Dr. Venky Gopalaswamy, an expert in business improvement methodologies such as six sigma, lean, and change management, to provide a comprehensive assessment of the field and an efficient and effective approach to the creation and implementation of combination products.
