Requirements for Ongoing Monitoring of Cleanroom Environments

This webinar will provide an overview of the applicable grading systems and standards as well as reviewing some of the key considerations when developing an environmental monitoring programme, including data trending and the importance of disinfection rotation procedures.

Contamination, microbiological or otherwise, is a major safety concern in the development and manufacture of all pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Ensuring that the product or device has been manufactured to any relevant pharmacopoeial regulations and is within any specified microbial limits should be top of mind when considering the effect of a contaminated product in the market.

As part of this presentation, our speakers will discuss how cleanrooms and other controlled environments play a vital role in manufacturing and testing processes through the control of airborne and surface contamination.

We will also cover a variety of different factors including the importance of a robust environmental monitoring programme and the risk assessment considerations that must be undertaken to best identify any possibility for contamination in your facility. In addition, we will review a case study on a cleanroom qualification project completed recently.

Given aseptic processing relies on the prevention of microorganisms from entering products or test systems during testing or manufacturing, it is evident that these considerations must not be taken lightly as the impact can be devastating to both the end users and the companies involved in the product life cycle. Join us as we discuss the microbiological aspects of cleanroom validation and ongoing monitoring which must be considered in order to ensure your facility is fit for purpose.
