Overview
Regulatory Agencies require firms to have written procedures in place to document production and process controls, better known as batch records. Additionally, there must be written procedures for a batch record review process to demonstrate compliance. A strong batch record review system is essential to properly document all critical and operational process parameters that go along with the production and manufacture of pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, etc.
Several examples and case studies of best practices will be demonstrated to emphasize how an effective batch record review is conducted based on current quality/regulatory requirements.
In this accredited training, we will identify and discuss Master Batch Records (MBR), regulatory requirements, and key steps for issuance, batch record review, reconciliation, and final QA disposition.
