Pharmaceutical Compressed Air - Quality GMP Standards and Requirements

États-Unis, Palo Alto

This webinar will take you through the primary sources of compressed air contamination. It will also detail GMP standards and requirements pertaining to compressed air quality.

Objectives :

Compressed air is often overlooked as a potential source of clean room and product contamination. This webinar will give you an understanding of the different types of contamination inherent in compressed air and how to prevent each from affecting your particular system.

A detailed description of a typical pharmaceutical compressed air system with its individual components will be provided. Engineering schematics will also be included. All component functions will be detailed with recommendations as to which component type is considered optimal.

The four contamination sources in compressed air will be discussed. They are:

  • Solid particulate
  • Water content
  • Total oil content
  • Microbial bioburden

For each of these, the presentation will discuss cause and effect. Suggestions will also be provided for preventing contamination. Finally, a compilation of all FDA/EU GMP guidelines, USP/EP and ISO air standards will be presented. Sampling and testing methodology for each of these specifications will be discussed as well.
