Pharmaceutical Compressed Air - Quality GMP Requirements - What you need to know to meet FDA and International Quality Standards
Compressed air for pharmaceutical use is considered a critical utility as many of its applications involve direct contact with the pharmaceutical product. The design, construction, and monitoring of a compressed air system are essential for maintaining a quality system without contamination of the product. Proper testing of compressed air quality according to international standards is important for both validation and ongoing monitoring of the system.
Learning Objectives:-
Why should you attend?
Compressed air is often overlooked as a potential source of clean room and product contamination. This webinar will give you an understanding of the different types of contamination inherent in compressed air and how to prevent each from affecting your particular system. A detailed description of a typical pharmaceutical compressed air system with its components is provided. Engineering schematics are included. All component functions are detailed with recommendations as to which component type is considered optimal.
For each of these, the presentation will discuss cause and effect. Suggestions are also provided for prevention of the contamination. Finally, a compilation of all FDA/EU GMP Guidances, USP/EP, and ISO air standards are presented. Sampling and testing methodology for each of these specifications is discussed.
