How can PETra help you maintain your batch records for PET radiopharmaceuticals in an efficient and compliant manner?
19 May 2011
According to the guidelines set out by the FDA, a PET radiopharmaceutical producer must maintain complete and detailed written documentation for each product covering methods used, QC tests performed and acceptance criteria - these documents are referred to as the master production and control records.
For every product batch the producer must maintain batch records, recording and documenting every production and QC process, and comparing results of these processes and tests against the documented acceptance criteria for the product. Any process deviations MUST also be recorded. Each batch record should include full details of the analyst, time and date for every procedure.
A producer should also maintain detailed standard operating procedures (SOPs) regarding each production or QC process, and these SOPs can be referred to in master production and control records.
Furthermore, there should be full traceability of all raw materials used in production and documented controls to demonstrate that raw materials are of sufficient quality, and maintained in adequate stock levels.
The requirements of the forthcoming FDA CFR part 212 regulations, and the amendments to USP 823 are far-reaching and include many more requirements for PET radiopharmaceutical producers.
Maintaining and adhering to all of the above in an efficient and compliant manner may seem like too much to ask for. However, by adopting PETra as your complete process management solution system you could be on your way to achieving this by 12th December 2011.
In addition to the above, PETra also offers the following :
Electronic record storage - all records are legible and stored to prevent deterioration or loss, and readily available for review by QP and FDA employees.
Record retention period - electronic records can be stored perpetually
Audit trail to record process deviations
