3-Hour Virtual Seminar on FDA's New Enforcement of 21 CFR Part 11

Overview:

FDA continues to enforce Part 11 through its ongoing Part 11 inspection and enforcement program. Just in the last 3 years FDA issued more than 30 warning letters with Part 11 related observations. Citations are related to inadequate integrity, security and availability of electronic records, including data manipulation.

There are many questions about the ongoing inspection and enforcement program, e.g., what inspectors are looking at, what are major findings and what are the FDA expectations about follow up.

The seminar will have the answers. And using industry proven case studies on how to avoid 483 inspectional observations and warning letters attendees will learn how to prepare their organization for trouble-free Part 11 related inspections.

Why you should Attend: 

There are many questions about the P11 inspection program, e.g., what inspectors are looking at and what major findings are. The seminar will have the answers. In addition, using industry proven case studies on how to avoid 483 inspectional observations and warning letters attendees will learn how to prepare their organization for trouble-free Part 11 related inspections.

Failing Part 11 and data integrity inspections can have a high negative impact on regulated companies, on individual employees and most important on the health and safety of the consumers of products such as drugs and medical devices.

Examples are

• publications of FDA Warning Letters will have a negative impact on the company's impact
• shipment stops resulting in loss of revenues and profit
• product recalls
• import alerts
• consent decrees
• requirements for extensive corrective and preventive actions
• requirement for hiring 3rd party consultant

While the Part 11 regulation is spelled out very clearly and is well understood by regulated companies, FDA inspections are not. Regulations such as Part 11 and GMPs set forth minimum requirements to assure that drugs meet the standards of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) regarding safety, identity, strength, quality, and purity. Frequently inspectors ask more because regulations are subject to inspector's interpretations and somewhat unpredictable and sometimes come as a surprise.

The seminar will come with and discuss more than 20 typical inspectional observations and give recommendations on how to avoid observations. And most important: Attendees will have the unique opportunity to ask life questions to the Part 11 and Data Integrity expert during and at the end of the seminar.
