This webinar explains how auditors can investigate unexpected increases in bioburden as part of a bioburden failure analysis that will be used to implement containment, corrections and corrective actions.
Every medical device company with a controlled environment and sterilized products is required to monitor bioburden and to implement process controls to ensure that bioburden remains within the validated limits. Unfortunately, there are so many possible sources of bioburden it is easy to have a sudden increase (i.e., spike) in the bioburden of raw materials, finished devices or the controlled environment. Human error is usually blamed, but retraining people is not an effective corrective action. You need to design solutions that eliminate the need for human perfection. When a spike occurs, what do you do?
This webinar will help you pinpoint the actual cause of your bioburden problems. Identifying the actual cause of quality issues is critical to developing effective corrective actions. If you do not narrow the potential causes down to the actual cause or causes, then you will waste time and money implementing solutions you didn’t need. If miss the actual cause of exceeding your validated bioburden limits, then your corrective actions will not be effective and you will need to re-open your CAPA or initiate a new CAPA. You may also be forced to recall nonconforming product.
In this presentation our speaker explains how to use the process approach to auditing in order to identify the root cause for excursions above established bioburden limits for: 1) raw materials, 2) finished devices, and 3) controlled environments. It’s easy to think of ways your process controls could have failed, but you will save time and money if you can identify how your process controls actually failed.
Join us for this webinar as our speaker teaches you how to use your auditing skils to investigate the cause of exceeding validated bioburden limits.
