1 Microrite, Inc. brings you this unique advanced course in ; part of Microrite s Step by Step Workshop Series Participate in the only workshop which will guide you through the process of choosing a cost effective and compliant disinfectant qualification method, which suites your company budget, personnel availability, urgency and time limit Also learn how to plan study execution schedule and supplies, how to budget costs, and how to execute each step and assess errors that may occur This workshop will also cover data analysis, establishing expiry dates for diluted and undiluted disinfectants and how to apply the findings to the cleaning procedures Do not miss this opportunity if planning a disinfectant qualification study or have performed one and wish to verify it Learn from the case studies presented at this workshop. Also learn the basics about creating biofilms and testing biofilms against different disinfectants in laboratory setting. In designing a disinfection programs, how to meet the three main objectives (ESS): Efficacy, Safety and Savings is the key. Which industries does this seminar apply to? Industries that will benefit from this training are Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Medical Device, and In Vitro Diagnostics Who will benefit? Microbiologists performing, and reviewing Disinfectant Qualification Studies, Quality Assurance, Facilities, Regulatory, Training and Manufacturing personnel

2 DAY 1 Disinfectants commonly used in the industry, their modes of action, efficacy, and toxicity Understanding the nature of contaminants in the cleanroom and which disinfectants will be effective against them Overview of the many methods and variations used for disinfectant qualifications o Tube dilution method Using filtration Using neutralizing broth o Representative Hard Surfaces Using contact plates Using Swab Recovery Method Using Rinse Method Using Neutralizing Broth Using Sonication Discussions on the variants of each of the methods and the benefits and shortcomings of each method Discussion on the pitfalls expected when choosing each method available Disinfectant Qualification Protocol o Guidance on drafting a Disinfectant Study Protocol for each of the methods discussed Planning the Study-Scheduling and Costs o Using planning templates, guidance will be provided for breaking up the study components to manage scheduling, costing and ordering supplies to avoid waste due to expiry of media and buffers Managing personnel o Planning each section of protocol for execution o Planning of daily activities while maximizing testing Method Validation for Bacteria and Fungi o How to validate each method o What to look for as acceptance criteria Recovery Study o Guidance on how to perform swabbing studies to get maximum recovery o How to plan a recovery study for various methods of efficacy testing o Understand the facts and myths about recoveries Efficacy Testing o Points to consider when planning an efficacy study o How to mitigate inoculum count drop o Application of inoculum and disinfectants-what to pay attention to o Log reduction calculation

3 DAY 2 Time 0 Verification o Understand why this additional step gives more confidence in the data generated from the efficacy study Expiry Dating Study for Disinfectants o How to review efficacy data to abbreviate expiry study which will generate dependable results for assigning expiry date for pre-diluted disinfectants and concentrated disinfectants that do not have an expiry assigned by the manufacturer Log Reduction Calculation o Data analysis o Common errors o Detecting false positive or false negative log values Reviewing Data o How to identify execution errors when reviewing data. Establish and Implement corrective actions Overview of testing disinfectants using biofilms Translation of disinfectant qualification results to cleaning procedures to prevent contamination o Cleaning procedures-what should be addressed o Importance of cleanroom cleaning supplies controlling contamination Commonly observed deficiencies in Disinfectant Qualification studies that may lead to contamination or FDA observations Cleanroom Disinfection Clean room disinfection is very critical for pharmaceutical industries. Different chemicals and procedures are used for getting the rooms classified according to specific guidelines. In designing a disinfection programs, it is trying meeting 3 objectives (ESS): Efficacy, Safety and Savings. Potentially more effective than a simple sporicide according to USP<1072> definitions, the use of a Cold Sterilant to disinfect surfaces in clean rooms definitely meets the 3 ESS objectives and even more Definitions and Guidelines about bio-decontamination of surfaces in pharmaceutical aseptic rooms Available biocide technologies, strengths and weaknesses Cold Sterilant: Development about the H202/Peracetic Acid technology Strengths and weakness How to use HP/PAA in pharmaceutical production areas: - Daily and Periodic disinfections - Manual and automatic airborne bio-decontamination Let s learn from European success stories
