Scenario Pavlov Flashcards

1
Q

What are the initial Ringfence concerns with a cleaning failure?

A

What is the product?
What batches made before the contamination event?

Where are the batches?
Put batches on hold.
Put equipment on hold.

Are there any other similar processes that use the same CIP skid / undergo same clean that could be impacted

Q

What are the Quality impact concerns from the cleaning failure?

A

How much residue in the batches

What contraindications of batch and contaminant

If batches out of your control then incident committee and medical advice

MACO

Q

What to say about the cleaning investigation

A

Identify the failure mode – equipment clean failure or people

Does the failure mode implicate any other batches.

Q

What additional ringfence concerns are there with a packaging complaint?

A

Packaging / component batches = huge compared to product

Thus there could be many batches implicated.

Thus ringfence and LIC and medical advice more important

Q

What picture thoughts on a confirmed stability failure?

A

What batch?

Where in the shelf life is the failure?

What were the other results at the time point?

What are the previous results (any trend)?

Why was it on stability?

Were there any other batches also on test?

Q

What are the contents of a technical agreement?

A

The technical agreement details all responsibilities for GMP control of batches and required comms by CA and CG

ABCD FGHI MNOPQRST

Audits and self inspection
Batch control and certification
Communication and procedures for Change control, customer complaints, deviation, LIR, recall
Don’t outsource without consent

Finished pack QC and IMQC test results and procedures
GMP and Regulatory responsibilities, legal responsibilities
How long valid, who updates, signatures
IPCs – IPC expectations

MA variations and artwork
Nasty bugs killed – pest control
O – I forget what O was for.
PQS and PQR

Q

What are you going to look for when there’s a sterile contamination event

A

Raise deviation and put on hold

ID

state the limit <1cfu

Investigate

Product impact? Organism type? What do you know about the organism.

What other samples would you expect to support your investigation

Q

Stability OOT – what things to think about?

A

What is root cause from manufacturing investigation?

What is the trend at shelf life?

What is the product (medically critical or generic with lots of alternatives)

What is the market situation – SLIRB

Safety impact – degradants?

Recall committee to get medical advice and agree actions

Q

Stability OOS – what things to think about?

A

Recall committee to get medical advice an agree actions

What is the product (medically critical or generic with lots of alternatives)

Inform CA

What did the manufacturing investigation identify the cause to be?

What is the scope – why was it on stability?

What is the stock location – can you reduce shelf life?

Recall, caution in use or do nothing?

Q

Supply Chain Scenario – what are the manufacturing considerations

A

On me ‘ED Son

Excipients manufactured to sufficient GMP – pharma grade / meet MA

Distribution – temp tales, DRA, validated routes, tamper evidence

Stability – Stability programme in place and supports certification

17
Q

Supply Chain Scenario – what are the packing considerations

A

Shake your ASS

Artwork as per MA. Windsor labelling

Sampling – where ref and retention samples taken and stored?

Serialisation / Safety feature considerations

18
Q

Supply Chain Scenario – what are the certification considerations

A

QP QO

QP named on the MIA

Product type / product named on MIA annex

QPPV understood

Outsourced companies on MIA (labs, warehouses, )

19
Q

Supply Chain Scenario – what docs?

A

BD translation and BD

CofA

Deviations

change controls

confirmation of manufacture to GMP

made to MA – need access to MA

20
Q

Why is maths and stats useful to a qp

A
21
Q

What are the things you need to ask about in a Process Simulation failure? (Picture)

A

What did the vials look like (vial integrity OK?)

Why were you media filling?

What were the organisms recovered?

22
Q

What likely cause if the organism is mould / yeast / general environmental contaminant

A

Airbourne which means HEPA or breach somewhere

If a breach then it will have been brought in on a person, materials or could be building fabric has got wet and had growth or air is getting in somewhere

23
Q

What likely cause if the organism is GNR

A

Water bourne.

What are they using water for in the facility?

Cleaning / filtering failure = filter integrity tests OK?

24
Q

What likely cause if the organism is GPC

A

This is from people. Ask to see the CCTV or the observer notes

Operator aseptic technique, gowning failure, hand spraying failure etc.

25
Q

What are things to look at if you suspect autoclave to be the source of moisture / micro contamination?

A

Steam Quality
Wrapping
Load pattern
Any failures with the morning tests?
Water plant quality

Temperature probes / BI from the load.

26
Q

What’s approved for import from MRA countries

A

Everything but…..

Switzerland – Everything covered
Australia – ATMP
NZ – ATMP
C – ATMP + Blood and plasma
US – ATMP, Blood and Plasma, Vaccines
Japan – ATMP, Blood and Plasma, Medicinal Gasses.
Isreal – ATMP, Blood and Plasma, Medicinal Gasses, homeopathic medicines,kk7

27
Q

What is the pre-amble spiel for a deviation

A

Raise a deviation in my PQS
Identify impacted batches and place those under my control on hold
Assess impact with respect to product quality, patient safety, efficacy, identity and stability, regulatory, validation and compliance.
Assess the criticality
Investigate and identify root cause and then suitable CAPA
Implement the CAPA and then review to demonstrate that the CAPA is effective.
