What Our Clients Have To Say About Kymanox
Frequently Asked CGxP Microbiology & Environmental Monitoring Questions (FAQs
How should a company establish Environmental Monitoring action and alert levels?
Action Levels should be set at or slightly below compendial/regulatory levels. However, there are no regulatory guidelines regarding alert level calculations. Because EM data is not normally distributed, using the data average plus 2 standard deviations is typically not the best approach. The Cutoff Value Approach is recommended in evaluating and establishing alert levels. Whichever approach is used the levels need to be based on historical data and the justification document.
Should predominant environmental (in house) isolates be used in the execution of microbiology method verifications?
Absolutely! It is necessary to use USP challenge organisms during the execution of method verifications. However, the use of predominant isolates recovered internally from the manufacturing environment in method verification protocols demonstrate that in the event the predominant isolate is present in the product, it can be recovered and detected using the compendial test method.
Which disinfectants should be used in manufacturing and is disinfectant efficacy testing a ‘one time’ protocol?
The selection of disinfectants used in the manufacturing environment depends on the object to be disinfected (entire room or specific surfaces), the classification of the room, expected bioload, the contact time, possible contamination of the drug product and on the most suitable disinfectant process (wiping vs. spraying, disinfectant concentration, etc.). Disinfectant efficacy testing of general-use disinfectants is performed using vegetative bacteria. Sporicidal disinfectants are challenged with spore-forming bacteria. Disinfectant efficacy testing may need to be repeated after major modifications or changes to controlled areas that may impact the validity of testing. These changes include, but are not limited to:
- The introduction of a new disinfectant or cleaning method
- Changes in the formulation or storage times of a disinfectant
- The use of new surface materials
- Adverse trends in isolates recovered from routine environmental monitoring.
