1 Experience responsibility Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology GMP Compliance

2 Everything you need for GMP Compliance! Systems, processes, personnel and documentation that affect the product quality and product safety of pharmaceuticals, active agents, and medical devices must meet the requirements of the QM/GMP rules. A variety of rules are unavoidable in QM/GMP compliance, starting with the EC GMP Guide / EN ISO 13485, continuing with the stipulations of the FDA as per 21 CFR up to national legislation like AMBO 2009 (AT) or AM- WHV (DE). GMP conformity plays a central role in many industrial sectors: Pharmaceuticals industry Biotechnology Medical devices Storage and transport Active ingredient production Quality control labs / R&D labs Hospitals / institute pharmacies Blood and tissue banks Pharmaceutical Development, Quality by Design (QbD) Quality by Design (QbD) is a new type of knowledge and risk-based approach for pharmaceutical product and process development. Through the definition of the critical product and process parameters (cqa, cpp), the establishment of a design space as well as its verification by means of, for example, DoE Methodology & Experiments, can regulate manufacturing processes in a more flexible way. A real time release is also possible through the use of a control strategy, by means of PAT tools, for example. The implementation of customised QbD approaches facilitates an increased product and process understanding as well as an efficiency increase during production. VTU provides support in QbD-based development processes and their implementation in new manufacturing processes or alternatively their integration in existing GMP-compliant manufacturing processes: Definition of the critical product and process parameters (cqa, cpp) Implementation of customised risk management Creation and moderation of risk analyses Statistical experiment planning, Design of Experiments (DoE) Development of the design space Establishment of the scale down model Establishment of a QbD-based control strategy for the active ingredient and/or pharmaceutical Preparation of technical reports (source documents) Preparation and revision of SOPs

3 VTU offers GMP services as part of the qualification and validation of plants, computer systems and processes in the pharmaceuticals industry and in medical technology, consulting for the introduction of GMP compliant processes in engineering, production, laboratories and quality assurance and even up to collaboration during audits and inspections. Qualification & Validation VTU provides GMP services for the qualification and validation as well as for the introduction of GMP-compliant processes in development, production, technology, the control laboratory, and in the storage and transport area. Establishment of customised risk management Validation of analytical methods GMP-compliant documentation, data generation, storage and archiving Preparation and revision of relevant SOPs (for methods and procedures) Establishment of OOS/OOE procedures Creation and moderation of risk analyses Development of customised change and/or deviation management / CAPA systems Development of customised GMP qualification strategies Preparation and support for audits, execution of supplier audits Preparation of master plans Storage and transport validation Qualification (DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ) for systems, media, rooms and lab equipment Establishment of measures for plant hygiene Process, cleaning, and computer validation Conducting GMP-relevant training
