Objectives
The training course on visual inspection gives you an understanding of the fundamentals of visual inspection of injectable products, applicable to manual and automated inspection. This covers the following aspects of visual inspection: organisation, validation, conduct and evaluation of the results. You will also learn how to implement an automated system on the basis of manual inspection.
Background
The 100% visual inspection of sterile injectable products is a requirement originating from the Pharmacopoeias, e.g. from the US USP or the European PharmEur. But there is still confusion within the global pharmaceutical industry with regard to the requirements for testing for visible particles. After the USP chapters <790> and <1790> were published, things have become much clearer, at least for the US. In Europe the new chapter 5.17.2 of the European Pharmacopoeia now also gives further advice. However, many questions remain, e.g. concerning training, re-testing, detection capabilities and revalidation of inspection systems.
Furthermore, there has been a recognisable trend towards automated inspection machines in the last years. The challenge for pharmaceutical companies is to find a suitable machine for their products and to determine reasonable inspection Parameters during qualification and validation. But questions also arise during routine processes like, for example, the usage of test-sets, doing AQL-Testing as well as the adjustment of parameters of the vision systems.
We will address those topics during the conference and discuss and answer questions on:
The latest compendial requirements concerning particulate matter
Compliance with the revised Annex 1
Training and qualification of operators in the Manual inspection
Validation and operation of an automated inspection System
Setup of test kits for training, qualification and Routine inspection
Trending and monitoring of visual inspection data
Correct AQL testing as part of the batch release
Re-inspection of defect fractions
Target Group
This one-day training is directed at everybody involved in the 100% inspection of sterile injectables. As the fundamentals are explained in a very comprehensive way, the course is very popular with beginners and medium experienced staff.
