CASE STUDY: E&L Considerations for Adoption of new Single-Use components: A Case Study with Millipak® Final Fill

A successful adoption of single use technology in a Biopharmaceutical process largely relies on the confidence in selection of such materials for the process. Changes to an existing process can be difficult even when there are potential benefits to the change. Considerations include compatibility, functionality and E&L evaluation.

This presentation will evaluate the change control process using an example of the implementation of Millipak® final fill into existing processes. Evaluation of the functional testing and extractables data will be presented. The case study will continue with the risk assessment and patient safety evaluation.
