Overview
In the presentation, we will review the regulatory and industry guidelines for a compliant cleaning program and concerns with dated validation packages. We will also explore the advantages and benefits when re-validating and how to manage it to reduce the routine monitoring testing frequency.
Why you should Attend
Regulatory inspections are very stressful because of the risk to the site, from product recall, forced facility shutdown to large dedication of effort and resources to address findings.

He has been fortunate to work for 7 major pharmaceuticals (Catalent, AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Teva, Astellas, Bayer, and Novo Nordisk) where he was considered the cleaning validation SME in most of his roles.
Working with various routes of administration (OSD, parenteral, softgels) in green and brown field small and large molecule manufacturing projects has provided Fred a very broad cache of experience.
Fred also obtained “cleaning chemistry” experience while working as a Sr Global Technical Manager at Ecolab (Life Science division).
Currently, he supports industry by creating tailored justifications, reducing the validation footprint via risk assessments, creating startup CV programs, remediating legacy processes, and increasing manufacturing capability as a cleaning process/cleaning validation consultant. He enjoys solving complicated validaton issues.
He was one of the authors of the ISPE Cleaning Validation Lifecycle - Application, Methods, and Controls guidance, and he regularly presents at conferences, nationally and globally.
