FDA Regulatory Compliance Training - Live Webinars, Recordings & CDs

This online program offers an introduction to the international principles and regulations behind commissioning and installation qualification (IQ).

Companies engaged in the conduct of human clinical trials must adhere to specific government regulatory requirements. Certain documents, content and images related to a clinical trial must be stored and maintained, and depending on the regulatory jurisdiction, this body of information may be stored in a trial master file (TMF) or electronic trial master file (eTMF).

Learn how to use Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for GXP data to ensure compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and reduce validation cost and time.

Both the U.S. FDA and EU's MDR expect documented risk-based clean room manufacturing environment per ISO 14644-series, ISO 14698-series (and the old FED-STD 209E).

As part of the Case for Quality program US FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health noted how an excessive focus by industry on compliance rather than quality may be diverting resources and management attention toward meeting regulatory compliance requirements vs. adopting best quality practices. There has also been a lower than anticipated investment in automation and digital technologies, which could greatly improve quality and process control. A key element is a risk-based, product quality and patient-centric approach to Computer System Assurance (CSA) vs. the traditional Computer System Validation (CSV) waterfall approach. This encourages critical thinking based on product and process knowledge and quality risk management over prescriptive documentation driven approaches.

This is where FDA determined that “WHAT” is required can be done (the “HOW”) in different ways and does not have to be according to the “checklist” mindset of most CSV work, where you create documents without specifically addressing the risk of potential failure of each requirement.

GAMP®5 supports the use of incremental, iterative, and evolutionary approaches including agile, for development of custom applications. Keys to success include a robust Quality Management System and well trained and highly disciplined teams following well-defined processes supported by tools and automation.

Statistical Methods are typically used to ensure that product performance, quality, and reliability requirements are met during the Design Validation phase of product development. This webinar discusses common elements of sample size determination and several specific sample size applications for various design validation activities including Reliability Demonstration/Estimation, Acceptance Sampling, and Hypothesis Testing.

This webinar will teach attendees best practices for conducting effective quality audits to ensure regulatory compliance. Learn how to avoid potential pitfalls during the audit process.

This course will provide a thorough review of regulatory guidelines on method validation and transfer. It provides guidance on how to perform QC analytical test method validations and transfers.

Computer system validation has been regulated by FDA for more than 30 years, as it relates to systems used in the manufacturing, testing and distribution of a product in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device or other FDA-regulated industries. The FDA requirements ensure thorough planning, implementation, integration, testing and management of computer systems used to collect, analyze and/or report data. Electronic records and electronic signatures (ER/ES) came into play through guidelines established by FDA in 1997, and disseminated through 21 CFR Part 11. This code describes the basic requirements for validating and documenting ER/ES capability in systems used in an FDA-regulated environment.

CGMP companies must develop / implement formal software V&V for medical product under IEC 62304 and a key US FDA Guidance Document.

Mapping and evaluating all the steps in a pharmaceutical warehousing and distribution workflow can lead to valuable process improvements. In this webinar, we discuss how this review can be accomplished and the possible benefits that can result.

Gamma radiation sterilization is a widely used and highly effective method for sterilizing medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and packaging materials in the GMP-regulated industry. This technique uses high-energy gamma rays, typically emitted by the radioactive isotope Cobalt-60, to destroy microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores without raising the temperature of the product, making it suitable for heat-sensitive materials.

This 21 CFR Part 11 compliance training will guide you through the requirements of Part 11 and will also explain its 3 primary areas: SOPs, product features and validation (10 step risk based approach).

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted into law on June 28, 2018 and became effective on January 1, 2020. CCPA provided a variety of consumer privacy rights and the obligations of business related to their storage and sale of personal information.

Voters in California voted to approve Proposition 24, a ballot measure, on November 3, 2020, which created the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). The purpose of CPRA was to modify and expand the requirements of the CCPA, thus amending the original act. CPRA is commonly referred to as “CCPA 2.0.”

CPRA ends the ban on providing the CCPA’s consumer privacy rights to a company’s employees. Under CPRA, all employers must respond to requests from employees to access or correct their personal data. Enforcement of CPRA will become effective in July 2023, enabling companies six months to ramp up their efforts to comply with it.

CPRA also extends new protections to consumers residing in California. Those organizations doing business with these consumers are subject, based on defined threshold of operation, to the compliance requirements.

The US FDA, after years of discussing the harmonization of 21 CFR 820, Device CGMPs (QSR), to the ISO 13485, Device QMS, has finally published their QMSR to replace the previous QSR. On February 02, 2024, they published the final rule in the US Federal Register that revises 21 CFR 820 to include ISO 13485:2016 by reference, called the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR).

This webinar provides details regarding the generation of acceptance sampling plans often used in process validation and production control to ensure quality of final products. By attending this webinar, participants will be able understand the key inputs and issues involved in determining acceptance sampling plans. Sampling plans for attribute data are the primary focus although variable acceptance sampling plans are presented as well.

This webinar will focus on the Process for Quality Agreements and requirements that must be implemented to ensure compliance with the latest quality and regulatory requirements. Attendees will learn the reason for implementing a Quality Agreement system to assure adequate controls for Service Providers.

The objective of this interactive, live training webinar is to explore the management of OOS practices and suggested avenues to take to minimize deviations, OOT, OOS and CAPA and how to attack these situations should they occur. It is also designed to determine how FDA and ICH regulations and guidances may impact them. It will also reference the new PDA TR 88, “Microbial Data Deviation Investigations in the Pharmaceutical Industry”.

The Webinar will focus on the importance of ensuring that electronic record/electronic signature (ER/ES) capability built into FDA-regulated computer systems meets compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. This includes development of a company philosophy and approach, and incorporating it into the overall computer system validation program and plans for individual systems that have this capability.
