Course Overview

 

Aseptic processing is critical to ensuring the microbiological safety and regulatory compliance of medical devices. The ISO 13408 series of standards defines the expectations for aseptic process design, validation, and control, while integration with ISO 14971 risk management principles ensures a robust, compliant quality system.

 

This course provides a practical overview of aseptic processing principles, validation strategies, and contamination-control techniques in alignment with global regulatory expectations, including EU MDR and FDA requirements. Participants will learn how to interpret ISO 13408 requirements, design compliant facilities and processes, conduct process simulations, and integrate risk-based decision making into aseptic operations.

Key Learning Objectives

 

  • Understand aseptic processing principles and their application to medical devices.
  • Interpret and apply the ISO 13408 series to aseptic process design, validation, and control.
  • Differentiate aseptic processing from terminal sterilisation and identify critical process parameters.
  • Design facilities and cleanroom environments compliant with ISO 14644 standards.
  • Plan, execute, and interpret aseptic process validation activities, including media fills and environmental monitoring.
  • Integrate aseptic controls within a risk-based quality system (ISO 14971).
  • Implement effective contamination-control strategies involving personnel, equipment, and environment.
  • Maintain ongoing compliance with MDR, FDA, and Notified Body expectations.
