What is GMP ?

Although quality assurance has its value in almost every industry, it has special justification in the drug and medical device industries due to the nature of the product and complex government regulations. During the past 30 years many new regulations passed into law have required drug and medical device industries to substantially modify their business methods One of the most well known sets of regulations that have had a major impact on the drug and medical device industries are called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) a document published by Health Canada which sets out the minimum activities required for drug manufacturers in Canada. Legally enforced through the Canadian Food & Drugs Regulations, Division 2, Part C.

proGamma Science Corporation

These regulations describe the minimum requirements that governments consider necessary for the production of human drugs, veterinary drugs, or medical device products GMP refers to the Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations promulgated by Health Canada under the authority of the Food and Drug Act. The branch responsible for GMP of health Canada is : Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate (HPFBI) These regulations, which have the force of law, require that manufacturers, packager/Labeller, Importor and distributor of drug product take proactive steps to ensure that their products are :

Safe pure and effective

proGamma Science Corporation

GMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mix ups, and errors. This in turn, protects the consumer from purchasing a product which is not effective or even dangerous. Failure of firms to comply with GMP regulations can result in very serious consequences including recall, seizure and fines.

proGamma Science Corporation

WHAT IS GMP?.
These regulations apply to: Buildings

Equipment Personnel

proGamma Science Corporation

WHAT IS GMP?.
Ensures that: Procedures Controls (QA)

Are available in place and followed

proGamma Science Corporation

GMP regulations address issues including recordkeeping, personnel qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation, and complaint handling. Most GMP requirements are very general and open-ended, allowing each manufacturer to decide individually how to best implement the necessary controls. This provides much flexibility, but also requires that the manufacturer interpret the requirements in a manner which makes sense for each individual business.

Quality Management

Determines and implements the quality policy The basic elements are: an appropriate infrastructure or quality system encompassing the Procedures, Processes, and Resources the systematic actions necessary to ensure adequate confidence that a product (or service) will satisfy given requirements for Quality The totality of these actions is termed Quality Assurance

proGamma Science Corporation

Adopted Health Canada QA Systems


1. Drugs are designed and developed in a way that takes into account the GMP requirements 2. Managerial responsibilities are clearly specified 3. Systems, facilities and procedures are adequate 4. Production and control operations are clearly specified and validated 5. Arrangements are made for the supply and use of the correct raw and packaging materials; 6. All necessary controls on intermediates, and any other inprocess monitoring, and is carried out; 7. Outsourced activities are subject to appropriate oversight controls and meet GMP requirements;

proGamma Science Corporation

8. Fabrication, packaging/labelling, testing, distribution, importation, and wholesaling are performed in accordance with established procedures 9. Drugs are not sold or supplied before the quality control department has indicated certified that each lot has been produced and controlled in accordance with the marketing authorization and of any other regulations relevant to the production, control and release of drugs; 10. Satisfactory arrangements exist for ensuring that the drugs are stored, distributed, and subsequently handled in such a way that quality is maintained throughout their shelf life

proGamma Science Corporation

11.The effectiveness and applicability of the quality management system is ensured through regular self-inspection and management review 12. Annual product quality review of all drugs should be conducted with the objective of verifying the consistency of the existing process, the appropriateness of current specifications for both raw materials and finished product to highlight any trends and to identify product and process improvements.

6. Records : manually or by instruments demonstrate that all the steps are followed Deviations are investigated and documented; 7. Records of fabrication, packaging, labelling, testing, distribution, importation and wholesaling that enable the complete history of a lot to be traced are retained in a comprehensible and accessible form 8. Control of storage, handling, and transportation distribution of the drugs minimizes any risk to their quality 9. Recall system 10.Complaint handling

Quality Control (QC) Department

Each holder of a Establishment Licence should have a QC Department Independence from production and other departments is considered to be fundamental Under the authority of an appropriately qualified and experienced person with one or several control laboratories at his or her disposal.

Sanitation
Influence on quality:

Sanitation in a pharmaceutical plant influences the quality of drug products as well as employee attitude. The quality requirement for drug products demand that such products be fabricated and packaged in areas that are free from environmental contamination and free from contamination by another drug.

Why is this Important?

proGamma Science Corporation

Why is this Important?

Hair nets are important for two reasons : They help keep hair out of products and help keep human hands away from hair

proGamma Science Corporation

Jewelry is not allowed


Jewelry should be limited to a plain wedding band. Jewelry can be a physical hazard and can be heavily contaminated with bacteria. Wearing jewelry can also be dangerous to the employee. For example, a necklace could get caught in a mixing machine and cause harm to the operator.
