Out-of-Specification Data Trending

GMP requirements and tools for implementation

Gabriela Bodea

Recorded

Out-of-specification result investigations continue to be one of the most commonly observed CGMP deficiencies during inspection of quality control laboratories. Handling OOS results is recognized as being critical due to potential public safety issues following release of non-conforming product. The management of OOS results should include assessment of each individual case and the analysis of data for trends in order to detect potential problems and implement appropriate corrective and/or preventive actions. In the context of modern quality systems, a comprehensive approach of quality issues implies use of trending for a holistic evaluation of processes..

Key questions related to trending of OOS results investigations are:

• What are the regulatory requirements for trending?
• What are the purposes of trending?
• How is trend analysis the bridge between OOS results and CAPA?
• What information should the OOS log contain?
• How to develop procedures for data tracking and train the laboratory personnel?
• When is data entered in the log?
• What categories and subcategories of cause codes would be relevant?
• How to report OOS Results in Annual Product Reviews and Management Reviews?
• How to interpret APR results?  How to develop meaningful OOS metrics?
• How could a developing trend be identified?
• How to establish actions to be taken for existing significant trends?
• What should be the frequency of trending?

How does the this audio seminar help:

Answers will be presented by Ms. Gabriela Bodea in a new interactive audio seminar. During the seminar, the speaker will present strategies and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation.

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

• Trending is a regulatory requirement
• A 483 or Warning Letter could be issued for not having a trending procedure
• The ultimate purpose of trending is continual improvement
• You need to maintain a tracking log of OOS relevant information as a first step toward trending
• Procedures and training of users on data tracking are necessary
• A second key step is the development of smart root cause codes and sub-codes
• OOS related data resulted from analysis should be reported periodically and reviewed by the management to determine appropriate actions
• OOS metrics have real value only if they are meaningful
• Trending is intended to be a proactive approach and therefore trends should be defined, identified timely and actions implemented
