Event overview

To ensure that your data integrity programs work, it is essential to keep up to date with current regulatory trends—monitoring both new regulatory guidance documents and trends in non-compliance. In this interactive event, we will ensure that you understand the impact of recent and proposed updates, by addressing four topics:
  1. Chromatographic Peak Integration: Ensuring Integrity and Scientific Soundness
  2. Analytical Procedure Lifecycle: How do the new versions of ICH Q2(R2) and Q14 compare with  USP <1220>?
  3. Analytical Instrument Qualification and System Validation Risk assessment: Where is USP <1058> going now; a practical approach?
  4. Computerized System Validation (CSV) as part of Analytical Instrument Qualification and System Validation Risk assessment; a practical approach
These topics will be discussed within the framework of the data integrity model that sits within the overall pharmaceutical quality system of a regulated laboratory. Analysis takes place at Level 3 in this model, but to ensure both data quality and integrity it is imperative that the elements of the Foundation and Levels 1 and 2 are in place. The analogy of this model is building a house: It collapses if not built correctly.

We will tackle one topic per session. Each session will start with a presentation, which will include a question-and-answer period. This will be followed by an interactive workshop to reinforce the principles of each subject presented. For the workshop portions, participants will be asked to engage in answering questions and sharing ideas—anonymously—using a free web-based platform called Mentimeter (menti.com), which can be used through a web browser on any computer or smartphone. No download or prior preparation is required; the link and a code will be provided during the event.

This virtual symposium on data integrity is aimed at chromatographers and quality assurance professionals who have a working knowledge of data integrity within a regulated GXP laboratory. Thus, basic knowledge, such as an understanding of GMP regulations and ALCOA++ criteria, will be assumed.

Top Reasons to Attend
  • Get up to date with current regulatory trends in data integrity issues with peak integration of chromatograms
  • Learn how the final versions of ICH Q2(R2) and Q14 compare with USP <1220> regarding the Analytical Procedure Lifecycle 
  • Find out where the revision of USP <1058> on Analytical Instrument Qualification is heading now
  • Understand the Risk Assessment Process and the implications for Practical Qualification
  • Extend the principles of the Risk Assessment Process into Practical Approaches for System Validation  
  • Learn from interactive workshops to strengthen your understanding of these essential concepts in data integrity and how to spot and resolve problems.
  • Download a copy of the 153 page European Compliance Academy (ECA) Guide on An Integrated Lifecycle Approach to Analytical Instrument Qualification and System Validation by joining the ECA AQCG, which is free. Membership Registration (analytical-quality-control-group.org)
    (This Guide is the basis for the Day 2 presentations and on-line workshops).

Who Should Attend

 
Chromatographers from Analytical Development and Quality Control Departments along with Quality Assurance personnel who are involved in data integrity, method development and validation, qualification of chromatographs and computer validation projects. Attendees should have a working knowledge of data integrity principles and GMP regulations.
