Why You Should Attend:
Pharmaceutical water systems such as Water for Injection (WFI), Clean Steam, RO/DI, Distilled, Milli-Q and other water systems are critical to routine manufacturing of product as well as for use within the cleanroom (Room Disinfection). Some water systems are also used to generate feed water that eventually forms the final WFI which is critical to the manufacturing of product.
Some manufacturers have found themselves having issues and water system failures long after the water systems have been designed. Difficulties such as; Inability to validate the water system due to design issues, difficulty in maintaining a low level of bioburden within the water system due to dead legs (i.e. Biofilms formation), difficulty in maintaining acceptable limits for applicable water testing programs.
Difficulties and associated water failures and investigations, have led to several product manufacturing delays due to inability to use the affected water for the manufacturing of product as well as for their cleanroom operation (i.e. several water testing investigations). The cost associated with failure investigation, failed water systems and impact to the manufacturer operation is high hence having a good knowledge of these requirements and how to apply it to new or existing water systems will benefit the attendee.
Learning Objectives:
This seminar will enhance the attendee skills in the following areas:
- Understand the applicable regulations, types of water and the routine testing requirements associated with pharmaceutical water systems.
- Plan, define, design, and validate the various types of pharmaceutical water systems using a compliant validation protocol.
- Define and understand the different types of tests, testing frequencies, sampling procedures associated with the various types of pharmaceutical water systems.
- Set the appropriate testing specifications (alert and action levels) for various types of pharmaceutical water systems.
- Perform routine recertification of water systems, re-testing and re-evaluation of an alert or action limit associated with the various types of pharmaceutical water systems.
- Disposition an impacted manufactured product manufactured using pharmaceutical water with an out of specification or failure result.
- How to perform routine pharmaceutical water system result data management and trending.

Sea Creatures at Birch Aquarium
Birch Aquarium is north of San Diego in La Jolla. It's not as big as some of the other aquariums in California or as flashy as the big sea-themed park down the road, but instead just right, filled with interesting exhibits and home to leafy sea dragons like the one above, creatures so improbably they look more like something from a children's book than from the ocean.
Legoland
Legoland theme park takes its inspiration from Lego toys, those cute little bricks that snap together to build all kinds of fun things. It's one of several Legolands worldwide.
San Diego Zoo Safari Park
The San Diego Zoo's sister park offers a different kind of animal experience. Its name (Safari Park) is the clue and it indeed offers a more safari-like experience. Lots of large animals live in the same big, open areas here - predators kept away from prey, but otherwise much as they would in their natural habitat.
Coronado Island
Coronado isn't really an island but a peninsula - a fact that doesn't get in the way of the name most people use for it. Whatever you call it, it's on a slender strip of land between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, barely a few blocks wide. What it lacks in size it makes up for in fun, with a beach that's been named among the best in the country, a classic hotel and a compact, lively little downtown. Coronado's laid-back temperament makes a nice break from the busier parts of San Diego across the water.
Balboa Park
Originally built for temporary use during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, Balboa Park boasts buildings beautiful enough to be considered attractions in themselves, especially if you're a photographer. They're surrounded by trees, lawns and fountains, but that's only the beginning.
