Featured in this edition of iSpeak Reading Roundup, are the top blog posts from February 2020. Discover key insights for cleaning validation practices, risk-based approaches to quality, and more for what the pharmaceutical industry was reading last month.
Aseptic filling of parenterals is one the most challenging tasks within pharmaceutical manufacturing. There is a wide range of topics that fall under this umbrella, from more engineer-driven topics like filling accuracy and machine performance to key production questions, like how to keep the process sterile and compliant with the law and the regulatory guidelines. All this is influenced by new methods and technology innovations, either process- or technology-based.
This Blog focuses on the topic of infrastructure, covering recommendations made by an FDA / industry team linked to the FDA Case for Quality initiative, and the GAMP re-examination of approaches to infrastructure.
Today we are facing a new type of challenge with an undefined period of impact.

The GAMP® Global Leadership strongly supports a patient-centric and quality risk-based approach to the assurance of computerized systems. Explore the incorporation of innovative computerized technologies and approaches that advance pharmaceutical production to support product quality, patient safety, and data integrity.
FDA’s recent released Guidance for Industry on Data Integrity and Compliance with Drug CGMP Questions and Answers (CGMPs also known as current Good Manufacturing Practices), clarifies data integrity’s role for drugs and biologics as required in 21 CFR part 210 (the Manufacturing, Processing, Packing, or Holding of Drugs), 21 CFR part 211 (for Finished Pharmaceuticals), and 21 CFR part 212 (for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Drugs).
In the pharmaceutical industry, which is highly regulated, aseptic processing is a critical component that ensures the sterility of products. Regulators have a set of comprehensive requirements that minimize the risk of contamination. Regulators set the requirements; however, the industry has an obligation to the patients who rely on and expect a drug that is safe and free of contamination....
Like any investment in digital manufacturing systems, demonstrating business payback before and after investment is critical to getting MES projects approved and verifying profitability after investment. Whether it is introducing MES, expanding it to additional sites, switching software, upgrading existing software, or developing electronic production records (EPR) for new drug products,...
