On-line Audio Seminar 248

Analytical Instrument Qualification According to USP <1058>

With SOPs, Templates and Examples for Easy Implementation

Recorded

Despite of the fact that instrument qualification is nothing new and companies spend a lot of time, it is a frequently cited deviation in FDA inspectional observations and warning letters. More than two years ago the USP has released the final version of <1058>:  Analytical Instrument Qualification (AIQ). But still today companies struggle with implementation because <1058> does not really give specific advice on 'how to' qualify analytical instruments, but FDA inspections are coming.

Key Questions related to USP <1058> analytical instrument qualification are:

• What do FDA and other regulations say about equipment qualification?
• What exactly are the expectations of inspectors?
• When is 1058 mandatory, even so the chapter number is above 1000?
• What qualification model does the USP standard follow?
• How to systematically define instrument categories A, B and C?
• What steps are included in analytical instrument qualification?
• Which procedures should be available for the three categories?
• Which qualification documents should be generated for each category?
• We already have procedures for equipment qualification, should we change them?
• What exactly should be in each qualification phase: DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ?
• What and how much should be tested?
• How to qualify firmware?
• What to test after changes, e.g., when the equipment is moved, repaired or updated?
• How to implement the standard most effectively?
• How can existing instruments be qualified?
• How should I document instrument qualification?

How does the audio seminar help:

Answers will be presented by Dr. Ludwig Huber in a new interactive audio seminar. During the seminar, the speaker will present strategies and an overview and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, test scripts, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation. The seminar lasts one hour and will be conducted over the phone and supported by the Internet.

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

• FDA and EU analytical instrument requirements
• Most common inspection problems
• Terminology, scope and principles of US chapter <1058>.
• AIQ and its relation to method validation, system suitability testing and quality control checks
• Essential steps for AIQ: DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ
• Purpose and contents of design qualification, installation qualification, operational qualification, performance qualification
• Allocation of instruments to the three categories A, B and C
• Procedures and validation deliverables for the three categories
• Recommendations for firmware and software validation
• Roles and responsibilities: QA, manufacturer, user
• Approach for automated systems (incl. firmware/computer systems)
• Qualification of existing systems
• Requalification after equipment changes (move, repair, firmware upgrade, hardware upgrade)
• Recommendations for effective implementation
