April 12, 2012 - PRLog -- "Attendees will receive Reduced Testing of Materials for Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices"



This webinar will discuss current regulatory and quality requirements for reduced testing of components used in pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Reduced testing will be viewed from current industry practice, the regulations, and quality principles. The reduced testing lifecycle will be studied and reviewed. This includes such topics as component specifications, material qualification, supplier auditing and qualification, collaborative laboratory testing, certificates of analysis, material validation sampling, analyzing testing, qualification, and disqualification. Examples of systems will be shown. This webinar will primarily use graphics, especially flowcharts, to demonstrate the principles and increase an understanding of the topics.



Reduced testing test permits a medical product manufacturer to reduce testing of incoming components provided there are adequate controls on specification control, material qualification, supplier qualification & monitoring, material validation, and collaborative testing. Industry practice in the performance of reduced testing has resulted in new and modified expectations and requirements.



The benefits of systematic reduced testing program include increased compliance, smaller inventory cycles, less testing, less handling, and increased productivity and efficiency.



As industry has been looking to reduce costs, improve efficiency, the FDA has begun to more closely scrutinize the industry’s effort to make certain that the above mentioned controls are in place. In this effort the FDA is focusing on supplier control and sampling issues.
