About

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) consider cleaning validation as paramount.
Indeed, cleaning validation is a relevant activity to prevent contamination of biopharmaceutical products by ensuring that the processing equipment is suitable for subsequent manufacturing processes. Potential contaminants like API, degradation products, impurities, bioburden and endotoxins will be considered, as well as possible cleaning solvent residues.

This course will provide the meaning and the principles of possible cleaning validation strategies, also describing the most common sampling and detection techniques used for these activities.

The following topics will be part of the course:

  • Which cleaning methods can be used in a pharmaceutical production environment?
  • How do the cleaning methods work?
  • The 3 stages of Process Validation applied to Cleaning Validation
    • Stage 1: Process Design
      • Determination of worst-case location
      • What are the important cleaning steps and critical parameters?
      • Determination of cleaning effectiveness: sampling method, detection method and acceptance criteria
    • Stage 2: Process Qualification
      • Pre-requisites
      • What’s included in the protocol?
    • Stage 3: Continued Process Verification
      • How to keep the Cleaning Process in a validated state?
