Product Description
by Priscilla Browne (Author)
This paperback book (Reference Edition) provides an introduction to Cleaning Verification and Validation for pharmaceutical and biological equipment and facilities. It provides a practical framework for the design and execution of cleaning validation. Cleaning Validation is a regulatory requirement as per GMP. There are many organisations and bodies which provide guidance of implementing a Cleaning Program such as PIC/s ICH, PDA reports, EU GMP V4 to name a few. The key elements to achieving a successful cleaning validation include (1) understanding the sources of residues (soils, excipients, actives, microbes etc) (2) developing a cleaning procedure (3) developing a test method (4) validating the cleaning procedure in respect of the products and equipment to be used in manufacturing.
