In this webinar, Particle Measuring Systems shared a case study of a biopharmaceutical company developing and applying a structured global rationale for the implementation of continuous viable environmental monitoring with a single-use microbial impactor within aseptic manufacturing environments.
Watch Takeda Pharmaceuticals International AG and Particle Measuring Systems for a practical discussion drawing on five years of operational experience implementing continuous viable environmental monitoring with BioCapt® Single-Use.
The webinar explored how regulatory compliance, quality improvement and operational efficiency can be brought together when developing an environmental monitoring strategy.
Key learning points
- How to build a risk-based justification for replacing settle plates with continuous active monitoring.
- How continuous viable monitoring can support your Contamination Control Strategy.
- How to assess the impact on compliance, quality and operational efficiency.
- What to consider when implementing the technology in new equipment and existing systems.
- What lessons can be learned from Takeda’s experience with European regulatory authorities.
Real-world experience. Practical insights. Regulatory perspective.
Hear directly from Takeda about the considerations that supported the adoption of BioCapt® Single-Use as a global option for viable environmental monitoring.
The discussion covered:
- Reducing interventions during aseptic processing
- Integrating viable air, total particle and surface monitoring
- Smoke study expectations
- Equipment design considerations
- Retrofitting existing aseptic processing lines
- Building and communicating a risk-based rationale
- Engaging with European regulatory authorities
