Assess Your Laboratory - Based on the FDA System Based Inspections

from Sam Miller

The Quality Control Laboratory plays an important part role in the production and release of a drug product regulated by the FDA. Inspectional observations of non-compliant laboratory operations are high on the list of most frequent regulatory observations. As the industry focuses more on the quality system and product and test method lifecycle, the operation of the laboratory unit becomes more visible. The laboratory should have active programs in which the laboratory is routinely assessed for compliance to applicable regulations and standards.

Objective :

Quality Control Laboratories have been an important part of inspections since the mid 1980s. These laboratories are generally staffed by highly educated and trained personnel and equipped with sophisticated instrumentation. Inspections include scrutiny of method validations typically performed by the Method Development Laboratory. In order to the meet regulatory requirements and have appropriate internal controls the, laboratories must implement training and laboratory control systems which are defined in extensive procedures. The organization and the laboratory should have proactive programs which provide assurance that the laboratory is continually in compliance with regulations and internal procedures. The objective of this webinar is to identify areas that should be reviewed in an assessment of the laboratory.
