OVERVIEW:
FDA’s guidance on OOS test results and the updated Chapter 6 of the EU GMPs require failure investigations and other steps for Out-of-Specification (OOS) and Out-of-trend (OOT) results. While most companies are familiar with and have procedures for OOS results, this is not the case for OOT situations. The guide states: “Although the subject of this document is OOS results, much of the guidance may be useful for examining results that are out of trend”. Managing OOT results also helps to avoid time consuming OOS results. The industry is unsure how to interpret and implement the FDA guidance and the EU GMP Capter 6 This webinar will give a good understanding of EU and FDA requirement and provide recommendations and tools for effective implementation.
