System Suitability in Chromatographic Compendial Methods

Understanding and Implementing Recent Changes of USP and EP

Recorded

System suitability testing (SST) in chromatography is required by USP and FDA to check and ensure on-going performance of a chromatographic system. The USP has been updating requirements for SST in USP 30/2 (December 2007). The EP has been updated two years ago. With the increasing focus of the FDA on quality control laboratories inspectors ask for adequate SST procedures and whether analysts follow the procedures. The updated USP Chapter <621> also answers the question on how much a compendial procedure can be changed without the need for revalidation. Also, the new USP chapter <1058> makes a statement that SSTt may substitute an instrument's performance qualification, but not further guidelines are given. So there are many questions.      

Key questions related to system suitability testing are:

• What are FDA requirements for SST?
• What are the most frequently found deviations?
• What are compendial requirements for SST?
• What are the changes with the new chapter <621>
• What is the significant differences between USP and EP?
• When can SST substitute performance qualification (PQ)?
• When should SST be conducted: before, in between or the end of a sequence?
• We regularly run quality control samples, why do we need SST?
• What are realistic test parameters and limits?
• How much can I change a compendial method without revalidation?
• How should we 'formally' document system suitability testing

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 requirements for system suitability testing
• Examples of FDA warning letters and how to avoid them
• The role of SST for analytical quality assurance
• SST in comparison with equipment qualification and quality control sample analysis
• Most critical parameters for SST in EP and USP
• Contents of the updated USP chapter <621>
• Recommendations for implementing the new <621>
• Developing an SOP for system testing testing
• Criteria for SST timing within a sequence of sample runs
• The role of SST for method changes according to the new chapter <621>.
• Criteria for revalidation for method changes
• Case studies with practical advice for test parameters and limits
• Documenting SST test runs
