Risk Management Tied Up With A Bow Tie
ABSTRACT
This paper addresses how to qualify a Biological Safety Cabinet(BSC) and includes a description for Installation and Operational Tests that should be included as part of the Qualification process.
Despite having robust design and environmental monitoring, cleanrooms are at risk for several sources of contamination. In this case, BSCs, if purchased with much consideration, are the first line of defense in providing personnel, environmental, and/or product protection against biohazards and harmful agents in a range of laboratory, research, clinical, and pharmaceutical settings. As much as selecting the right BSC is important, it is more important to ensure that the BSC is functioning correctly at a high safety level. This white paper provides a template/ description of various Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) tests that should be included at a minimum when qualifying BSCs to ensure it helps facilitate an optimum working environment.

IS YOUR SITE READY FOR
DATA INTEGRITY?
ABSTRACT
In 2018, the FDA released “Data Integrity and Compliance with Drug cGMP, Questions and Answers, Guidance for Industry.” Between 2015 and 2019, the number of 483 observations written globally increased by more than 10%. The increase indicates that either the industry is still catching up to compliance expectations or the FDA is inspecting with greater scrutiny. Not all of these observations are driven by the Data Integrity guidance, but the FDA has made it clear that this will be a focus area for inspections in the coming years. What are the basic principles of Data Integrity? How do you ensure that your facility is prepared for an inspection?

CPV Batch Record Digitization:
Challenges and Role of AI
ABSTRACT
In drug manufacturing, keeping track of data is crucial for the drug’s approval from the FDA. The “Continued Process Verification” (CPV) data needs to be maintained for ensuring that the product outputs are within predetermined quality limits. In spite of rising demand for the creation of digital data directly at the source itself, some companies follow the traditional methods of documenting the processes parameters on paper, on designed forms. This leads to data being inaccessible for others unless it is again digitized by someone. The traditional way of achieving this is to have someone enter the data into a computer system by shuffling around the pages in the document. The manual process consumes a lot of time and leaves very little time for the data entered to be validated. This article briefly describes the possible methods of automating the manual data entry process, and how the upcoming technologies can be used for this work.

The Big Reshuffle —
Impact Assessments and System Criticality
ABSTRACT
A big reshuffle has been made in one of the principal guidelines for Commissioning & Qualification (C&Q) within the pharmaceutical industry today. The changes seek to improve the application of Quality Risk Management (QRM), a growing element of regulatory expectation. This research investigates the impact and implications of the changes to a key area of C&Q – namely impact assessments and system criticality. Have the current challenges been addressed by the update? Does the updated guidance provide clarity on the application of QRM to C&Q? This article explores how these changes bring a modern approach to C&Q.

Risk Management Tied Up With A Bow Tie
ABSTRACT
Since the publication of ICH Q9[1] in 2005, the pharmaceutical industry is encouraged to take a risk-based approach to the control and management of product quality. The expectation that Quality Risk Management (QRM) is integrated into the Pharmaceutical Quality System (PQS) is further developed in ICH Q10 [2]. ICH Q10 objectives are to achieve product realisation, to maintain a state of control, and to facilitate continuous improvement.
ICH Q10 states that the application of QRM can provide a proactive approach to identifying, scientifically evaluating, and controlling potential risks to quality. Most of the tools mentioned in ICH Q9, and commonly adopted by pharmaceutical companies, are focused on hazard identification and treatment. These treatments either improve the detection of the risk or reduce the likelihood of its occurrence. A treatment either serves to reposition the risk within a hierarchy or to a more acceptable ranking.
The tool proposed in this paper – The Bow Tie – transfers the focus to the treatments and places the emphasis on the identification and monitoring of prevention barriers, and mitigation barriers in operations environments. This approach develops a clear balance of prevention and mitigation in a risk control strategy.
