OverviewCompressed air for pharmaceutical use is considered a critical utility as many of its applications involve direct contact with the pharmaceutical product.The design, construction and monitoring of a compressed air system is essential for maintaining a quality system without contamination of the product. Proper testing of compressed air quality according to international standards is important for both validation and ongoing monitoring of the system.Why Should You AttendCompressed air is often overlooked as a potential source of clean room and product contamination. This webinar will give you an understanding of the different types of contamination inherent in compressed air and how to prevent each from affecting your particular system.A detailed description of a typical pharmaceutical compressed air system with its individual components is provided.  Engineering schematics are included. All component functions are detailed with recommendations as to which component type is considered optimal.Areas Covered in this WebinarThe four contamination sources in compressed air are discussed. These are:solid particulatewater contenttotal oil contentmicrobial bio burdenFor each of these, the webinar will discuss cause and effect.   Suggestions are also provided for prevention of the contamination. Finally, a compilation of all FDA/EU GMP training, USP/EP and International Quality Standards are presented. Sampling and testing methodology for each of these specifications is discussed.Learning ObjectivesCompressed Air - Importance of QualityPharmaceutical Compressed Air System DesignContamination Types and SourcesContamination PreventionInternational GMP Testing StandardsTesting Methods and SpecificationsWho Will BenefitQuality Assurance PersonnelEnvironmental Monitoring AgenciesMicrobiology ProfessionalsManufacturing PersonnelValidation PersonnelEngineering ProfessionalsMaintenance PersonnelLevelIntermediate
