EU GMP Annex 1 Draft with Single-Use Systems
WEBINAR
The European Commission published a draft revision of the European Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Annex 1, on Manufacturing of Sterile Medicinal Products which will include specific guidance on the use and risk control of single-use systems. Here, it is emphasized that the use of closed systems such as single-use systems can reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
During this webinar, we will focus on points to consider assuring sterility and integrity of a single-use assembly, and how collaboration between supplier and end-user can support the overall contamination control strategy of final filtration and filling operation.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- What are the EU GMP Annex 1 draft expectations on the use and control of single-use systems
- Which measures to take assuring the integrity of a single-use system
- How collaboration between supplier and end-user can support a risk-based contamination control strategy
