All facilities manufacturing pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, cosmetics, and personal care products are likely to have high purity water systems. In spite of this purity, microorganisms can flourish within these systems and lead to undesirable contamination of facility processes and their products. Of all the individuals at the facility, it is site’s microbiologists who should understand the microorganisms in water systems and how best to monitor and control them. Sadly, this is often not the case due to the lack of familiarity with biofilm and its impact on water system sampling, testing, sanitization, and routine maintenance. This lack of understanding of microbial control often leads to poor system designs, poor system sampling, poor system maintenance and poor sanitization practices, and as a result, ongoing microbial problems with the water.
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.
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
