Microbiological Risk: Do I Really Need to Test Raw Materials for Microorganisms

This webinar will cover the regulatory perspective in testing raw materials for microorganisms and how you can manage the risk of raw materials being the major source of microbial contamination in your medical product manufacturing process.

Why Should You Attend:

Raw materials are often the major source of microbial contamination that is introduced into the manufacturing process. Raw materials of natural origin, such as animal and plant source, support an extensive and varied microflora. Some of these pose a risk to the product and patient.

This webinar will address the regulatory and industry viewpoints on the subject of testing raw materials for microorganisms. Each organization, as part of its risk management program, should assess the hazard that the raw materials pose to its products and manufacturing processes. Ultimately, the focus should be on patient safety and not just a regulatory requirement.

Attendees will learn how to assess the risk between reliance on your processes to remove microbial contaminants and the risk of potential recalls and/or patient welfare. You will learn how to effectively manage the risk of contamination from raw materials.
