Develop/review a company's Master Validation Plan for significant cGMP deficiencies. Address the U.S. FDA's newer and tougher regulatory stance. One major failing is the lack of sufficient or targeted risk-based V&V planning:

• Start with a Master Validation Plan
• Evaluate its elements against ISO 14971 and ICH Q9 for hazard analysis and product risk management
• The Individual V&V Plan
• V&V Project Management
• “Risk-based” per ISO 14971, ICH Q9, and/or GAMP/JETT
• Two key input analysis tools
• Change control and "drawing a line in the sand"
• Develop meaningful V&V Files and Protocols for
• Products
• Process
• Production Equipment
• Monitoring and Test Equipment
• Software
• Quality Management System – 21 CFR 11, Electronic Records / Signatures
• The roles of different V&V protocols
• How to employ equipment/process DQs, IQs, OQs, and PQs, or their equivalents
• V&V against a background of limited company resources
• The FDA's 11-element software matrix simplifies "as-product," in-product," process and equipment, et al., software VT&V
• Assure essential U.S.FDA and comparable EU MDD / ISO requirements are not overlooked
• The QMS and 21 CFR Part 11, "Electronic Records / Signatures" V&V
• Hands-on examples and activities show the real-world implementation of valuable principles, tools, and templates

Learning Objectives:-

• Understand Verification and Validation, differences, and how they work together.
• Develop a "Working Definition" of V&V, Qualification, and related terms
• Discuss recent regulatory expectations
• How to document a "risk-based" rationale and use it in a resource-constrained environment
• Determine key "milestones" and "tasks" in a project; device sample provided
• Locate and document the critical subject "inputs."
• Compile "generic" Master and Individual Validation Plans
• Learn the critical element of a Product V&V File / Protocol
• How to develop Process and Production / Test Equipment V&V Files / Protocols
• Basic Test Case / Script construction
• Sample sizes and their justification
• Learn the key 11 elements of Software V&V expected by the FDA and how to document
• See how to compile QMS Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures V&Vs per 21 CFR 11 and related CGMPs
