| 8:20 – 8:55 a.m. | Packaging Innovation and Materials: |
||
Packaging innovation for pharmaceutical products has been almost unknown at most pharmaceutical companies. Existing packaging, standard materials, and a risk-adverse culture all contribute to continued cloning of existing packages for pharmaceutical, medical device, and medical nutritional products. Packaging Hall of Fame inductee Ed Bauer will discuss these challenges and will also offer insight about where the next generation of packaging innovations may lie. This informative presentation will also examine blister packaging materials, tamper-evidence, and child-resistant, senior-friendly packaging considerations. |

This session will review the Joint Equipment Transition Team (JETT) Consortium’s working examples of risk analysis for primary and secondary packaging equipment, based on the GAMP approach. JETT Chairman Jim John, together with end-user, OEM and consultant speakers, will provide an informative presentation that offers attendees: an understanding of the GAMP approach to risk based validation; access to a working example of finished documentation; a chance to review a risk assessment for a unit operation; and a better understanding of the JETT’s current developments which offer benefits for life sciences companies and OEM’s. |
