On-line Audio Seminar 219

Effective Verification of Compendial Methods

Understanding USP and FDA Requirements and get Tools for Implementation

Recorded, Available with all reference material

Compendial methods such as USP and EP standards are validated by the organizations that have developed and published the method. The FDA requires users of such methods to demonstrate the user's competence to successfully run the method. For example, 21 CFR 211.194 (a) states: The suitability of all testing methods used shall be verified under actual conditions of use. However, the FDA does not give any further guidance on how to do and document this. The USP has developed a chapter about the verification of compendial methods. It is well known that FDA inspectors require USP standards or equivalent procedures to follow. And when implemented right the standard also helps to reduce overall costs for implementing USP methods, but there are also many questions.

Key Questions are:

• What are FDA and international requirements for compendial methods?
• What and how much should be tested?
• Is system suitability testing enough?
• Do all compendial routine methods require verification?
• Should we verify all performance characteristics?
• How much can we deviate from the compendial method without the need for a full revalidation?
• What to do if I the compendial procedure can not be verified?
• How frequently should compendial methods be re-verified?
• What if our equipment was not included in the USP method validation experiments

How does the this audio seminar help:

Answers will be presented by Dr. Ludwig Huber in a new interactive audio seminar. During the seminar, the speaker will present the requirements for method verification and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, worksheets, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation.

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

• FDA and international requirements for method validation
• Inspection and enforcement practices: examples for FDA warning letters
• The background and scope of USP <1226>
• USP <1226> requirements
• Compendial methods not requiring verification
• The USP high level verification process
• Risk based approach for testing
• Criteria and examples for degree and extent of the verification
• Performance characteristics for verification
• Elements for verification for different instruments
• Acceptance criteria for verification testing
• How much can compendial methods be changed: USP recommendations
• Change vs. adjustment of compendial methods
• Investigating non-performance: root cause and corrective actions
• Documenting the verification experiments and results
