Welcome to this session - "Practical techniques for successful validation of pharmaceutical process equipment". We hope you find this material to be of some assistance during the validation of your particular process equipment. Obviously, one cannot prepare an example for every case and or situation, however, the methods described in this session can be modified to reflect the needs of a particular type of equipment. The thought processes and methodology for validation remain the same.
We would like this session to be as helpful as possible. If you have specific questions as we progress, please feel free to ask questions during the session. We encourage participation and will be asking for your input during this session - your comments are appreciated!
Validation, as it is known today, has developed from the need to maintain quality, consistency, and above all, public safety. Validation is a rapidly growing and evolving subject. This evolution stems from technology's astonishing growth rate, especially in terms of what is available in computer hardware and software. Over the past 15 years, machine automation and process control through the use of a computer has caused additional concerns relating the validation of the processing system. Today, the computer is used for everything from controlling the process, to automatically providing batch reports, and providing automated quality control.
The foundation of validation, the methodology behind validation, and the need for validation will likely remain a key aspect of the industry we work in. This session reflects the current industry trends and serves as an educational tool in our progressive industry.
