The A to Z's of Microbial Control, Monitoring and Validation of Water Systems for Pharmaceuticals, Biologics, Medical Devices, Cosmetics, and Personal Care Products

This course is designed to provide a microbiology-focused education about all aspects of water systems and how biofilm manages to thrive there. Prior microbiological education or training, though a plus, is not a requirement, since this training is for everyone involved with water systems, from the lab to utility room operations. The instructor will provide the necessary background needed to understand this very important subject matter. This understanding is essential for the proper design, validation, operation, monitoring, and maintenance of a high purity water system. Without this understanding, water system control and monitoring consists of a set of rules that often don’t work or result in erroneous monitoring data and can cause everything from very costly and unnecessary system downtime to patient injury and product recalls.

 

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of the course, attendees will be able to:

  • Understand the role of system design, maintenance and sanitization in controlling microbial levels in pharmaceutical water systems.
  • Successfully troubleshoot problems resulting from poor design/maintenance versus sampling or testing problems.
  • Devise water system validation protocols that truly validate microbial control.
  • Validate their water microbial test method.
  • Develop sound Alert and Action Levels and Water Specifications.
  • Defend their test method, in-process control levels and specifications to FDA.

 

Who Will Benefit:

This 2-day course is particularly relevant to managers, supervisors, and operatives taking on new responsibilities related to water, but also for experienced water personnel to learn the “true” whys behind what they do and perhaps better ways of doing things. Specific positions that will benefit:

  • Microbiology Laboratory supervisors and analysts responsible for water sampling and testing
  • Quality Assurance personnel responsible for water system deviation management and change control
  • Regulatory and Compliance professionals responsible for FDA interactions
  • Process and Utility Engineers responsible for water system maintenance, troubleshooting, and excursion mitigation
  • Facility Engineers responsible for water system design or renovation
  • Validation personnel for water system qualification
 

 

 
 
Organized by: ComplianceOnline
Invited Speakers:

T.C. Soli, Ph.D., is President of Soli Pharma Solutions, Inc, with training, auditing, and troubleshooting expertise covering water systems, sterilization, aseptic processing, contamination control, and microbiological laboratories. He has over 34 years of combined pharmaceutical experience as a consultant and with operating companies (DSM Pharmaceuticals, Glaxo Wellcome, Burroughs Wellcome, and Pfizer). Dr. Soli's career-long water system and manufacturing contamination troubleshooting expertise, coupled with water-related USP, ISPE, PhRMA, and PDA committee and guide creation involvements, afford him practical knowledge about process and contamination control and mitigation; cleaning, sterilization, process, and microbiological testing validation; and all aspects of high purity water systems.

Dr. Soli is in his third 5 year term on USP Expert Committees responsible for Pharmaceutical Water, previously served 5 years on the Advisory Panel to the USP Microbiology Subcommittee, and helped develop the Water Conductivity and TOC specifications used by USP and adopted world-wide. He has authored many articles and chapters in books and industry guides published by PDA and ISPE and is the author of USP’s Chapter <1231>.
