Life science companies can reduce the stress of compliance audits and minimise the risk of receiving FDA 483’s through utilising a more informed and preventative approach to operations management.
This webinar will give you access to a panel of experts including FDA consultant Robert Lewis, IHL Consulting, Atlanta, all with one aim – to help life science companies reduce the risk of getting FDA 483 in 2016 and beyond.
FDA Update 2016 / 2017
The FDA is responsible for issuing 483’s to life science companies if during audits they find any violations, production or quality issues that raise concern to the health or safety of the general public. We are hearing in the press that more and more Life Science Companies are being issued with FDA 483’s sometimes with catastrophic outcomes. When it comes to avoiding these letters, an understanding of industry requirements, using appropriate tools and preparing for audits is key.
Insight direct from an FDA consultant
The best way to stay up to date with FDA enforcement activity is to attend events and webinars where FDA consultants are present and get the opportunity to speak directly to them about the latest in Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance. This webinar gives you the perfect forum in which to do this.
In this webinar we ask the FDA:
- What is an FDA 483 observation and warning letter?
- What is the FDA typically looking for during an audit?
- How likely is your company to receive a FDA 483 and what are the most common reasons why letters are issued?
- What should companies do if they receive an FDA Form 483?
- What are the top tips for responding to warning letters – with guidance on what to do and what not to do.
- What can companies do to prevent receiving an FDA Form 483 or warning letter?
Corrective and Preventative Action
Archaic systems can be a leading cause of contamination and data integrity issues, and so, now more than ever, organisations need to embrace technology as a preventative approach to these issues.
This webinar will then go on to cover how life science companies can proactively use the latest technology advancement for corrective and preventative actions (CAPA) to help avoid receiving warning – such as data integrity issues, human error and workflow issues.
Introducing Electronic Batch Records / Device History Records
Find out how batch records can prevent incomplete data and contamination issue and discover how Shopfloor-Online™ Lifescience Edition, a robust and reliable MES solution designed for life science companies, can improve manufacturing performance and drive operational excellence.
Live Q & A on conclusion of the presentation. Any delegate who joins the webinar will have access to a free of charge Discovery Visit with an MES expert.
