Pharmaceutical regulatory frameworks are constantly evolving as the demand for sterile drug production capacity grows. The draft of Annex 1 of the European GMP version 12 becomes the international reference text for the latest sterile drug manufacturing standards. It encourages the use of innovative technologies, including barrier technologies which are becoming essential.
While Annex 1 makes multiple references to « Barrier Technologies » with the main objective of reducing direct interactions between sources of contamination and aseptic processes, Chapter 4 provides many details on their design and management.
During these A3P Barrier Technologies 2021 days, we will address the future challenges of our industry through technical and regulatory topics and provide answers through practical applications:
– Update on regulations
– Management of points of fragility : ergonomics, transfers, integrity, management of gloves and glove supply.
– Design of an isolator line to the highest standards and upgrading of a RABS filling line to RABS standards.
– Use of new technologies in the design phases.

Cleaning and Disinfection: Best Practices to Prevent Microbial Contamination in Aseptic Core
Bruno AZE & Walid EL AZAB - STERIS
The cleaning and disinfection program's purpose is to prevent microbial contamination of the cGMP environment and the product. Consequently, a pivotal element to contamination control risk assessment is to define the source of contamination. Based on the risk assessment results, appropriate cleaning and disinfection prgram to prevent contamination must be implemented. The goal of this presentation is to present best practices around cleaning and disinfection procedures to prevent microbial contamination in the the APA (Aseptic Processing Area). Also, during this presentation, I will share benchmark practices on aseptic and cell gene therapy APA cleaning and disinfection program.
