Process Validation Basics Program Overview

Program Description

Documentation is the core of any Process Validation program. There are regulations requiring documented evidence that a specific process will repeatedly produce a product that meets specifications. In this program, all the components of process validation will be defined and fully described with examples applicable to blood banking. You will learn to differentiate between verification and validation; and know when each applies. The components of a good validation plan are explained in easy to understand language along with questions to help guide decision-making. The single most important element of process validation is to understand the requirements of good validation.
