On-line Audio Seminar 176

Transfer of Analytical Methods and Procedures

FDA Requirements, Strategies and Tools for Implementation

Recorded

When validated methods are transferred between laboratories and sites, their validated state should be maintained to ensure the same reliable results in the receiving laboratory. Until recently there was specific FDA guidance on what exactly is expected to maintain 'the validated state'. Now the FDA has released an official guidance on how to conduct and document method transfer. The guide has been developed for medicated feed assays but the principles can be applied to other methods. The guide answers questions managers and lab analysts had on what to do and how to conduct and document method transfer.

Key Questions are:

• Method transfer is easy, why should we go through a formal process?
• Are there any specific FDA requirements?
• Should the receiving laboratory do full revalidation?
• What should be tested in the receiving laboratory?
• What can go wrong during method transfer?
• Anything to care about for transfer to other sites?
• Are system suitability tests sufficient?
• How much can I change a transferred method without revalidation?
• When can 'official' method transfer be omitted?
• What are the responsibilities of the transferring and receiving laboratories
• How should we 'formally' document method transfer?

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 strategies and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs and checklist will help immediate and cost effective implementation.

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

• FDA and International regulations for method transfer
• Examples of FDA warning letters and how to avoid them
• The new FDA Guidance on method transfer.
• Developing a strategy for analytical method transfer
• Developing an SOP for method transfer
• Responsibilities of the transferring and receiving laboratory
• Developing a transfer plan: contents and approval
• Method transfer options
• Types of method transfer and testing
• The importance of acceptance criteria
• Conducting comparative studies
• Statistical evaluating transfer results
• Most likely failures during method transfer
• Criteria for transfer waiver (omission of formal transfer)
• Method transfer protocol and summary report
