Aseptic and Sterile Processing Fundamentals
Understanding Aseptic Operations and Cleanroom behaviors are essential requirements when evaluating your Sterility Assurance Program. Aseptic Operators are routinely observed during regulatory agency inspections to ensure human interaction with the process minimizes contamination risk. Due to the nature of the biopharmaceutical industry, sterility and contamination control are of the upmost importance in the manufacturing process. Many factors such as facility design, cleanroom design, equipment integration, ergonomics, operator training, and behavior must be considered when building and operating an aseptic processing facility. The discussion will review general requirements of aseptic manufacturing and cleanroom behavior as well as the systems which support and control cleanroom environments.
