Regulations & quality and bioproduction

Level 2 -

Annex 1: sterile filtration and integrity testing

Presentation

Why participate?

Identify the regulatory changes concerning sterile filtration following the implementation of the new Annex 1 of the GMP guidelines.
Ultimately, ensure compliance with the new regulations and be able to justify your filtration-related decisions.

Training Context:

The new Annex 1 was published on August 25, 2022, and came into force on August 25, 2023. While the revised document expanded from 16 to 59 pages and brings significant clarification, many questions remain — especially concerning sterile filtration, including differential pressure monitoring and the implementation of the Pre-Use Post-Sterilization Integrity Test (PUPSIT).
PUPSIT has been one of the most debated topics due to the complexity of its implementation. The SFQRM discussion group from the BPOG-PDA consortium has published several recommendations outlining the pros, cons, and associated risks.

Learning objectives

  • Understand the impact on processes and their validation
  • Determine which filters to test, when, where, and how
  • Distinguish between a regulatory test and an industrial risk-reduction test
  • Understand the implications of PUPSIT
  • Learn how to reduce the risk of false compliance related to PUPSIT
  • Understand the guidance published by the Sterile Filtration Quality Risk Management (SFQRM) group of the BPOG-PDA consortium
