Clean Rooms 10 12 June 2008, Barcelona, Spain Objectives The course is designed to provide an understanding of the current guidelines and regulatory requirements for clean room design, operation and management. Pragmatic, cost effective and scientifically sound advice on compliance to the technical requirements in the projectand design phase as well as in the manufacture of sterile products will be provided. Theory You will learn the latest regulatory requirements as well as the requirements coming from the EN ISO standards for design and operation of clean rooms. Design GMP-compliant HVAC and equipment design, clean room zones, choosing RABS or isolator and development of a design specification (URS) are the main topics of this part. Qualification/Validation You will learn how to choose and correctly use measurement technology as well as modern qualification of clean rooms using the risk based approach. Routine Operation A validated environmental monitoring, efficient cleaning procedures as well as effective training of personnel are the key factors for maintaining the validated state and content of the last part of the course. Background In these days of globalisation and of production facilities serving vast market areas, pharmaceutical clean rooms are expected to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of the European regulatory authorities and of the FDA. They should do so convincingly and economically. The EN ISO standards on clean room technology offer themselves as the appropriate fundament for converting the GMP guidances into technically sound contamination control concepts. Target Group This GMP course is designed for engineers, production and QA staff, responsible for the design of clean rooms as well as the GMP compliant operation and maintaining the validated state. Moderator Programme Regulatory Guidelines and cgmp Compliance Current guidelines and Regulatory requirements EU GMP guide Annex 1 FDA Guideline Sterile drug products produced by aseptic processing Layout of Clean Rooms according to standards and guidelines In this lecture the guidelines for floors, walls and ceilings are discussed. In the GMP-Guidelines some requirements for the layout of clean rooms are listed, but without details how the installation should be. The relation between the GMP-Guidelines and European standards is made and practical solutions are presented. Survey of current standards Setting specifications for single rooms: the room book Introduction to HVAC and filters Clean Room walls, ceiling and floor Thomas von Kahlden, CCI - von Kahlden GmbH, Germany Clean Room and Zoning Concepts Objectives Zoning for aseptic and non aseptic productions Reasonable zoning concepts Different technical realisations Andreas Nuhn, Carpus Prozess Experten GmbH, Germany Clean Rooms for a Clinical Pilot Plant A case study Introduction: need and scope of a new facility Layout and design (including RABS vs. Isolators) Ready for a validatable automated decontamination process for the clean rooms Project management - some points of attention Danny Van Dyck, Cilag AG, Switzerland Design criteria: Performance requirements for Ventilation / Air-conditioning systems Normative references Classification of ventilating and air-conditioning systems Components in ventilating and air-conditioning systems Design criteria Design in consideration of hygiene quality Potential savings Different versions of ventilation systems in GMP Areas Frequent deficiencies during design and installation Andreas Wokittel, Lauterbach + Söhne GmbH, Germany
Qualification of Clean Rooms according to ISO 14644 and the GMP-Guidelines The presentation deals with the parameters which have to be measured during qualification, requalification and the monitoring of clean rooms. The correlation is made between the procedures of the ISO Standards to the specified parameters and limits of the GMP-Guidelines. The most important measurement devices will be discussed. Examples of measurements and their documentation are shown. Differential pressure Air speed, volume flow and visualisation Leak testing Recovery measurement Determination of the Clean Room class Thomas von Kahlden, CCI - von Kahlden GmbH, Germany Equipment Design for Clean Room Use Concept strategies for clean room equipment Air flow design (simulation and visualization) Avoiding contamination by usage of appropriate materials Low-contamination patterns in regard of particle generation Outgassing behavior & ESD-Properties Cleanability and bio contamination Validation and Qualification: Tests for proving clean room appropriateness of equipment Udo Gommel, Fraunhofer Institute IPA, Germany Inspections of Clean Rooms Introduction: continuous improvement of clean rooms Focus during inspections of clean rooms Techniques used in inspections of clean rooms Typical failures in design, layout and operation Difference between major and minor findings Dr Jean-Denis Mallet, Formerly Head of the French Pharmaceutical Inspection Department, France Workshop User Requirements and Design Qualification Apply all learning matter to develop a URS and subsequent perform a DQ for a complete facility - what is must and what is nice to have, production process and legal related requirements have to be combined. A risk based approach to Qualification and Validation commissioning vs. qualification: procedure and examples physical and microbiological parameters compiling a risk analysis important tests during qualification and validation avoidance of typical failures Jolande Schoemaker, Schoemaker Consultancy, The Netherlands Environmental Monitoring Microbiology of clean rooms Monitoring techniques Designing an effective EM programme Setting alert and action levels Interpreting EM data Cleaning of Clean Rooms Selection of disinfectants Application of cleaning agents Validation of disinfection procedures Jolande Schoemaker, Schoemaker Consultancy, The Netherlands Training of Personnel GMP and microbiology Qualification of clean room operators Good aseptic practice Cleanroom operator gowning Performance review Social Event Speakers On Tuesday, 10 June, you are cordially invited to a social event.
