Basics of Microbiology

For products that claim a desired Sterility Assurance Level (SAL), proof of a defined SAL (specification) is achieved through the product’s sterilization and sterility assurance controls. Compliance Observations cited each year by the FDA on Form 483’s that relates to Sterilization and Sterility Assurance processes shows that there are deficiencies associated with these key processes that are critical to a product’s sterility including inappropriately qualified and trained personnel required as key staff to implement a fully compliant sterilization process. This can potentially lead to Product Failures (Sterility Failures), product Non-conformances, Product Recalls, FDA’s Warning Letters, Consent Decrees and discontinuance of commercial operations which may negatively impacts a company’s profitability. FDA regulated industries that produce products with a defined SAL are obligated to have adequately trained and knowledgeable staff or Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) within sterilization and sterility assurance to provide applicable regulatory guidance with the impacted systems.

This 3-hour accredited training introduces both new and existing employees to the basics of Microbiology with emphasis on the history, various microbiological era’s and specific discoveries within each Era. Attendees will gain full knowledge of the detailed study, principles and characteristics of microorganisms and how they relate to cleanroom contamination, asepsis and infection including its applicability in product manufacturing activities. This course will describe the various types of disinfection and sterilization processes as well as the impact on contamination control within the manufacturing cleanrooms.
