How does the updated Annex 1 (2022) impact environmental monitoring requirements?
The updated Annex 1 requires a comprehensive Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) where EM is one integrated component. Our program seamlessly combines monitoring data with facility design, personnel workflows, and process controls to demonstrate a complete state of control, going beyond simple compliance with limits.
What are the key advantages of real-time particle monitoring?
Real-time monitoring with statistical process control enables immediate detection of excursions and comprehensive trend analysis to identify developing issues before they impact product quality, providing significant advantages over traditional periodic sampling methods.
Do you provide comprehensive microbial identification services?
Yes, we offer detailed microbial identification to species level using MALDI-TOF MS and advanced genetic sequencing, which is critical for thorough contamination event investigations and tracking environmental flora patterns.
How do you establish scientifically appropriate alert/action limits?
We use a comprehensive scientific approach combining: 1) regulatory requirements, 2) historical data analysis, 3) process capability assessment, and 4) product risk factors to establish statistically valid and defensible limits.
Can you help transition our existing EM program to Annex 1 (2022) compliance?
Absolutely. Our comprehensive gap assessment service thoroughly evaluates your current program against Annex 1 CCS requirements, providing a detailed roadmap for enhancement including monitoring point rationalization, data integration strategies, and improved investigation procedures.
What does your Environmental Monitoring service include?
Our comprehensive service includes risk-based EM program design, real-time particle monitoring, viable and surface sampling, personnel monitoring, rapid microbial methods for aseptic areas, and sophisticated data analytics with detailed trend reports.
Which regulatory standards do you follow?
We align with EU GMP Annex 1 (2022), ISO 14644-1:2015, ISO 14644-2:2015, US FDA Sterile Drug Products Guidance, PIC/S PI 007-6, and USP <1116> for comprehensive regulatory compliance.
What deliverables can I expect from your service?
You will receive comprehensive EM program documentation, detailed monitoring reports with SPC trends, ISO 14644-1 certification, microbial identification reports, expert contamination investigation support, interactive data dashboards, and thorough Annex 1 gap assessments.
When should I use your environmental monitoring service?
This service is ideal for routine cleanroom monitoring, validating new facilities, supporting sterile drug production, investigating contamination events, or preparing comprehensively for regulatory audits.
How does Indivirtus ensure complete confidentiality?
