This webinar will discuss the FDA requirements and guidelines for investigating Out-of-trend (OOT) results in the pharmaceutical laboratory. It will also cover FDA-compliant documentation of OOT, failure investigations, root causes, and CAPA.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
FDA's guidance on OOS test results requires failure investigations and other steps for Out-of-Specification (OOS) and Out-of-trend (OOT) results. While most companies are familiar with and have procedures for OOS results, this is not the case for OOT situations. The guide states: "Although the subject of this document is OOS results, much of the guidance may be useful for examining results that are out of trend". Managing OOT results also helps to avoid time-consuming OOS results. The industry is unsure how to interpret and implement the FDA guidance.
This session will equip you with the knowledge and comprehensive understanding of FDA requirements for Out-of-Trend Results in pharmaceutical quality control.
