Training course: “Validation of thermal processes”

Dates to be agreed

Available in Cremona and Varese’s office and, on request, directly to customer

Note: The course will be activated with a minimum of 4 participants

The correct setting of a validation and the good knowledge of thermal processes leads to greater confidence and security of the facilities.
More in depth, the certification of products, machinery and systems requires proper organization and traceability of measures that stick to European directives. The course presents the essential aspects of the organization and the execution of a validation in the manufacturing and service site in a simple and practical way.

The course is targeted for technicians who belong to pharmaceutical field, environments and processes and who want to deepen and clarify the issues and problems related to the approach, the drafting, compilation and implementation of validation.

The course will include:

• History of sterilization
• Principles on sterilization
• Regulations related to sterilization
• Sterilization control regulations (chemical and biological indicators)
• Regulations concerning the packaging
• Qualification of the installation
• Qualification of the operation
• Qualification of benefits
• F0 and FH
• Sterilization and depirogenation
• Calibration of autoclave and furnace instrumentation
• Equipment used for validation operations
• Approach to validation
• Evaluation of results
• Steriliser tuning during validation
• Use of biological indicators
• Overkill approach
