CPHI Webinar Series

Case Study: Risk Management for Annex 1 Sterile Production EMS

28th February, 2024
4pm CET / 10am EST
What will this webinar address?

During the webinar, we will guide Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Plant Operations managers through a practical and step-by-step process that will help apply Annex 1 “Manufacture of sterile medicinal products” of the Volume 4 of European Union GMP Guide, which was enforced in August 2023. The Quality Risk Management process mandated by the Quality-by-design (QbD) systematic approach will be a key topic. Annex 1 introduced changes aimed at increasing the efficiency of processes in pharmaceutical manufacturing. To achieve this goal and meet FDA Pharmaceutical CGMPs for the 21st century, it is necessary to adopt the QbD approach from risk management onwards.

As part of the webinar, we will use an Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) as a simple example to demonstrate how to assess risk using a pioneering tool that defines the specific process model. This approach reduces time to market and ensures that the system remains in a validated state throughout its operational life span. We will also hold an interactive Q&A-session during the webinar. In just 60 minutes you will:

  • Get a summary of what are the key updates of Annex 1 (2022 revision)
  • Learn how to comply with the rigorous Annex 1 requirements through a unique registered algorithm allowing for rapid assessment of the alert and action levels needed for mandatory reporting
  • Discover a structured and dynamic Quality Risk Management tool allowing to easily map production processes, streamline risk scenarios, design a CAPA Plan
  • Discover a standardized "Digital Engineered Solution" for EMS that can assist in achieving manufacturing efficiencies through data integrity and root cause analysis on CPP deviations
