How To Implement GMP Annex 1

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 18:43:37 GMT

A step by step process to ensure compliance.

The latest revision of the GMP Annex 1 guidelines is now published, and for the most part compliance will be necessary by 25th August 2023. If you are working on how to implement the latest revision of GMP Annex 1 in your manufacturing operations, here are the steps you can take to get started.

Familiarize yourself with the guidelines in GMP Annex 1. The guidelines in GMP Annex 1 provide detailed guidance on the design and control of manufacturing processes for medicinal products. It is important to understand these guidelines and how they apply to your specific manufacturing operations. You can access the full guidelines document here , and access the Pinpoint Scientific Six Things You Need to Know About Annex 1 here .
Assess your current manufacturing processes and facilities. Once you have a good understanding of the guidelines in GMP Annex 1, you can assess your current manufacturing processes and facilities to determine how well they align with the guidelines. This will help you identify any areas where changes may be needed to ensure compliance with GMP Annex 1. We'd advise that you do this soon. Your assessment might reveal that you need to upgrade aspects of your operation. Given the compliance deadline, you may need to make allowances for your own organisation's procurement process, which we know in some cases is significant.
Develop a plan to implement the guidelines in GMP Annex 1. Based on your assessment of your current manufacturing processes and facilities, you can develop a plan to implement the guidelines in GMP Annex 1. This may involve making changes to your facilities, processes, and equipment, as well as implementing new quality control procedures and training your staff on the guidelines. Our expectation is that many organisations will need to upgrade their cleanroom environmental monitoring as part of continued Annex 1 compliance.
Implement the changes and monitor your progress. Once you have developed a plan to implement the guidelines in GMP Annex 1, you can begin implementing the changes in your manufacturing operations. It is important to give yourself enough time, monitor your progress, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that you are able to comply with the guidelines by 25th August 2023.
Seek support and guidance as needed. Implementing GMP Annex 1 can be a complex and challenging process, and it is important to seek support and guidance as needed. At Pinpoint Scientific, we are happy to offer support and advice to any organisation addressing what to do about GMP Annex 1 compliance. Please contact us here , and we'd be happy to help with your Annex 1 challenges.

Overall, implementing GMP Annex 1 in your manufacturing operations will require a significant commitment of time and resources, but it can ultimately help to ensure the safety and quality of your medicinal products. By following the steps outlined above, you can develop a plan to implement the guidelines in the latest revision of GMP Annex 1 and take the necessary steps to ensure compliance.

Our Greatest Engineering Challenge Yet?

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 16:41:30 GMT

The ISO-90-N PoE

This is great news. We’ve now had confirmation that the patent for the Power over Ethernet (PoE) version of the Pinpoint Scientific ISO-90 head has been granted. The product – the ISO-90-N PoE - is the result of some brilliant work by our engineering team. This product simplifies the monitoring head setup, enables reduced infrastructure costs in RABS and isolators, and reduces risk in highly toxic environments.

The Engineering Challenge

A typical sampling head requires two cable connections. One is a cable to carry instructions and data to and from the head, and the other is the mains power supply. The engineering challenge for our team was to develop a version of the ISO-90 that would combine the sampling head and pump, whilst using very low power – low enough that the power could be delivered using PoE technology. This would mean that the device would only need one connection – the data cable.

Using PoE not only reduces the cost and simplifies the implementation (no need for power cables or local plug socket near the device), but also reduces the number of entry points needed into the RABS or isolator, thus reducing the risk of contamination.

PoE technology allows electric power to pass along with data on twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices where this would be useful. Typical such devices include wireless access points, CCTV cameras, and now, the Pinpoint Scientific ISO-90-N PoE!

The Pinpoint Scientific ISO-90-N PoE

We're delighted to say that the engineering team met the challenge and the Pinpoint Scientific ISO-90-N PoE is the result.

The Pinpoint Scientific ISO-90-N PoE takes all of the high performance and reliability of the ISO-90 range, and adds the convenience of PoE. This makes it ideal for bio-safety cabinets or isolators where the exhaust must be fed back into the same environment through an optional built-in HEPA filter.

This solution replaces the need for large power hungry vacuum pumps and heavy electrical switching. The ISO-90-N PoE simply ties into your PoE switch, making it easier to install and drawing less power when in use.

The Pinpoint Scientific ISO-90-N PoE is an ideal sampler-to-monitor upgrade option for existing isolators. If you have RABS or Isolator system that needs updating, especially if this is in response to the new demands of Annex1, this is simplest and most cost effective way to do it.

You can find out more about the ISO-90-N PoE here .

If you have any questions, we'd be happy to chat. You can contact us here .

Achema 2022, Frankfurt

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 15:17:50 GMT

Find out what alarmed us...

We had a great time at Achema 22 in Frankfurt recently, working with our friends at Airex to show Pinpoint Scientific ImpactAir and ISO-90 environmental monitoring technology .

Achema ‘22 was an excellent event. We talked ourselves hoarse answering questions about the Pinpoint Scientific product range – ImpactAir and ISO-90 – from visitors from all over Europe, and it was great to be at a face-to-face event again after the disruption of Covid. It was fun to catch up with friends old and new, and we were humbled by some of our distribution colleagues travelling from all over the world to meet with us at the show.

We heard that foot traffic is down from the last time the show ran in-person, which was pre-covid. However, Achema is still a huge event, “as big as Cardiff!” in the words of one of our team. The size of the show allows big pieces to be displayed, such as full isolators. This is an impressive show.

So, what was it that alarmed us?

We spoke to many of our fellow exhibitors, and especially a number of RABS and isolator builders. What has alarmed us is that we feel far too many of them do not have enough of a sense of urgency about Annex1 . During the early part of the show, we even heard the view expressed that, “we'll see what happens; it’s been going on so long now that it might never happen, etc”.

Well, it did happen, and sooner than anybody thought. The GMP caught the whole industry on the hop by publishing the Annex 1 guidelines on the Thursday of the show, 25th August 2022, with implementation of almost all of them needed by 25th August 2023.

So, now the word is out and the clock is ticking. We have a deadline. We have a monitoring standard that in practice will only be achieved by active monitoring. For many companies, this will mean switching out existing sampling technology for active monitoring technology. In many cases, internal validation processes will take many months, and so the time to act is now.

We know from other conversations that there are people who believe that they’ll be able to address the continuous monitoring needs of Annex 1 by using settle plates. At Pinpoint Scientific, we’re really clear; although Annex 1 does not preclude the use of settle plates, in practice they have nowhere near the performance needed for Annex 1 compliant monitoring in a Grade A environment.

So what do we conclude after Achema 22?

Achema is a great show to attend if it’s relevant to your work. Full of innovation, and the opportunity to talk with others from all over Europe.
If your role involves any kind of responsibility for Grade A cleanroom environments, please educate yourself about Annex 1 and the associated changes coming next year. Start here .
At Pinpoint Scientific, we believe that we produce the best slit-to-agar monitoring systems in the world. If you’re serious about your cleanroom environmental monitoring, or if you’re not sure what to do, please talk to us .

Annex 1 Guidelines Announced

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 16:23:02 GMT

Annex 1; Compliance Needed by August 2023.

The EU Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety has today announced the latest revision of GMP Annex 1.

This extensive revision of the guidelines has a deadline for compliance of 25th August 2023, except for point 8.123 which has a deadline of 25th August 2024. This point deals with the frequency of sterilisation of lyophilizers.

Today's announcement represents the firing of the starting gun for Annex 1 compliance. Many organisations have sensibly been playing a waiting game to see exactly what the new guidelines would say, and when they would come into force. Those questions have now been answered and now is the time to act.

Many organisations will need to make changes to meet the new standard. In anticipation of this change, we've developed a range of products for cleanrooms, RABS, and isolators. Our entire range of products is Annex 1 compliant, from our ImpactAir range of desktop and portable systems to our ISO-CON systems developed for use in RABS (Reduced Access Barrier Systems) and isolators.

Alongside great products which are Annex 1 compliant, we have a team of experts ready to share our knowledge and experience with those facing a challenge with Annex1 compliance.

If this sounds like you, or if you just want to understand more about Annex 1 and the changes it will bring to your origination, please contact us

The one minute guide to active v passive monitoring

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 11:54:00 GMT

In all cleanrooms, measurement of the bioburden (viable bacteria, spores, and moulds) is essential to ensure air quality. Some cleanroom monitoring is described as passive monitoring, and some is described as active monitoring. So what’s the difference?

Passive Monitoring

In some locations, environmental monitoring consists of an agar plate which is left open on a surface in the laboratory or cleanroom to capture any falling microbes and give a sense of the quality of the air. This is passive monitoring, and in this case the plate is known as a settle plate.

Those bugs that stick to the agar on the plate during this process will form colonies, and provide an indication of the air quality in the laboratory.

Active Monitoring

Environmental monitoring which is carried out using an air sampling or air monitoring device is known as active monitoring. Air is drawn into the monitoring system and impacted onto the surface of an agar plate in a controlled way. The subsequent number of colony forming units (CFU) can be measured, and as the rate of air drawn into the system is also known, the number of CFUs per cubic metre can be established.

How do they compare?

Not well for fans of passive monitoring. Active monitoring appears to be anything from 20 to 40 times more efficient than passive monitoring.

Why might this be?

Good question. All cleanrooms have a laminar flow air system that creates a downward flow of air. Typically, the airflow is around 0.45m/s, which means that on a 9cm settle plate, around 175l of air is delivered every minute.

We’ve been researching how this affects passive monitoring. We are still working on it. So far, one theory could be that the effective d50 value for a settle plate in a cleanroom with a downflow as described might be as high as 88u. In which case the settle plate is effectively 50% efficient at collecting microbes of size 88u and above. In microbe world, 88u is huge, and so much of what we’d like to collect is missed.

In addition, the volume of air flowing over the settle plate may be having a dessicating and possibly fatal effect on the very organisms we are trying to capture and measure, leading to less accurate results.

Which to use?

Passive monitoring using settle plates is an option in very low grade environments where an indication of air quality is needed, but high accuracy or quantifiable measures are not needed. It is low cost and easier to do than active monitoring, but is a less accurate measure of air quality.

Active monitoring requires specialist equipment but provides a consistent quantifiable and more accurate measure of air quality. It is the preferred option for controlled environments and cleanrooms up to Grade A.

The one minute guide to d50 and why it is important.

Mon, 06 Sep 2021 16:29:04 GMT

The term d50 is used in air monitoring and air sampling circles to describe the physical efficiency of the air monitoring or air sampling equipment. It measures the physical efficiency of the air sampler or air monitor in terms of its ability to collect particles. So, why does this matter?

Physical Efficiency

D50 is the minimum diameter of the particle at which a sampler or monitor is 50% efficient. Consequently, we tend to use d50 as a measure of the smallest particle that can be collected reliably. If a device reports a d50 of one micron, this means that it will reliably collect at least 50% of all particles of one micron in size or above. It will likely capture smaller particles as well, but for particles of at least one micron in size, the figure is 50%.

The GMP Annex 1 standard refers to having a sampler capable of efficiently detecting particles down to one micron in Grade A environments. We can interpret that as meaning a d50 of one; it's 50% efficient at capturing particles of one micron in size.

However, the d50 value is only part of the story. It only refers to the physical efficiency. We need to consider the biological efficiency in terms of keeping the organisms alive as well.

Biological Efficiency

The biological efficiency is important because the standard has changed. The standard used to say that for a grade A clean room, there had to be less than one colony forming unit per cubic meter. Less than one implies zero; in a cubic metre of air, there’s either at least one colony forming unit, or there isn’t. However, some people were interpreting the standard as, “if I sample 12 cubic metres, and I get 11 colonies, then on average, that's less than one.”

That wasn’t the intention of the standard, because if you’ve got eleven colonies in twelve cubic metres of air in a grade A environment, you’ve got a big problem! So, the wording now says you have to have zero growth that and that puts even more emphasis on having the best biological efficiency you can to make sure your instrument is capable of detecting down to the right level.

Summary

In summary, the d50 specification is about getting the live particles onto the agar, and the biological efficiency is increasingly important because they've just changed the standard to zero growth.

The Pinpoint ImpactAir range has a d50 of 0.45 microns. This is the best d50 performance of any air monitoring system on the market today, and Pinpoint ImpactAir devices are in use today in Grade A environments all over the world.

Doing Our Bit To Help

Tue, 25 May 2021 17:00:04 GMT

There’s no question that the roll out of Coronavirus vaccine in the UK has been a staggering success. This time last year, only the most optimistic would have thought that a vaccine would have been developed, and a large part of the UK population vaccinated, within a year. And yet figures published this week (May 23rd) show that in the UK, around 61 million doses of the vaccine have been administered already, and around 40% of the population is now fully vaccinated.

It is a brilliant testimony to the hard work and skill of everybody involved; the scientists and technicians at Oxford University and AstraZeneca, and their counterparts around the world, the hard working NHS and armed forces teams managing a huge logistical exercise of getting the jab into people’s arms, and the legion of wonderful volunteers, helping out from Land’s End to John O’Groats to support the mission.

The Prime Minister visited AstraZeneca recently, and we were delighted to see that most of the media coverage featured this picture of him changing the agar plate on an ImpactAir-140.

As a business, we believe in doing our bit to help wherever we can. We’re exceptionally proud of the modest part we’ve played in helping with vaccine development and manufacturing. All of the vaccine manufacturers are having to develop and manufacture at speed. When you’re manufacturing injectables at speed, you need to be 100% confident that the manufacturing environment is as clean as it can be, and you need to know that your environmental monitoring is on top of its game. It’s humbling and also a source of great pride, that when that is the case, people turn to Pinpoint Scientific.

We’ve been happy to see our ImpactAir products called into action, and we’re delighted that they continue to perform, delivering world class environmental monitoring wherever they are needed.

We believe there’s still some way to go in the battle with Coronavirus. We’re delighted that Pinpoint Scientific products have been part of the story, and we will work hard to make sure they continue to set the benchmark for environmental monitoring. As we do, we will continue to draw inspiration from the great work of everybody involved in the vaccination programme.

Smart Cymru ERDF supports Pinpoint Scientific Limited to develop their Microbial Air Monitor, the ISO90N to a prototype

The pharmaceutical industry is moving ever more towards the use of isolation working chambers with the intention of performing the drug manufacturing process in sealed environments, free from human intervention and contamination. The current ISO90 uses a small monitoring head inside the test area with a remotely located pump and controller unit but still requires significant engineering input to install in an existing chamber.

The ISO90N with an integrated pump will require no plumbing or welding to install, reducing the effort and cost to implement. Another advantage to the pump being in the head itself, the sampled air can be exhausted in a novel way, which is particularly advantageous in bio-safety cabinets where dangerous pathogens may be present. This project will also enables Pinpoint Scientific to link the monitoring head directly to a network based computer system without any additional interface hardware in order to monitor and gather data.

Products currently on the market can only sample for 10 minutes. Pinpoint Scientific will be the first manufacturer to develop a product with a 4-hour capability. There is potential to create new jobs from increased sales with additional benefits to Wales with the creation of a centre of excellence in analytical instrumentation. There will be an environmental benefit due to the unit requiring less power to operate.

Pinpoint Scientific is a Life Sciences micro-enterprise established in 2009 and based in Bridgend, South Wales. They specialise in the design and manufacturer of scientific products mainly used for bio-detection applications, aimed primarily at the pharmaceutical market.

Pinpoint awarded Innovate UK grant

lynn@pinpointscientific.com (Lynne ) — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 10:33:46 GMT

Pinpoint Scientific recently completed a proof of market study partly funded by Innovate UK. Work has now commenced on two new air monitoring systems for launch in 2018 and 2019.

Bridgend-based design and manufacturing company Pinpoint Scientific Limited have recently completed a proof of market study for novel microbiological air sampling technology. This work was partly funded by a grant from Innovate UK and has allowed Pinpoint to clearly understand the commercial opportunity and user requirements for a novel, isolator compatible microbial air monitor. Pinpoint Scientific is already leading the way in innovation with its premium continuous air monitor, ImpactAir®, that is being used by top global pharmaceutical companies. Building on existing technology developed by Pinpoint and used in its ImpactAir system, work has now begun on the first phase of product design & development, with an initial launch planned for July 2018. This will be immediately followed by commencement of further product design & development to produce an alternative miniaturized version by mid-2019.

Gethin Jones, founder and Managing Director at Pinpoint said “Microbial air monitoring is a critical process within demanding environments such as aseptic and injectable medicines manufacturing. This requires highly efficient and accurate monitoring & control for optimal detection of viable particles. We are delighted that Innovate UK chose to support this study and believe it has been good value for both parties. The outcome has given Pinpoint the data to move forward with confidence into design and manufacturing of new products that can meet user and regulatory needs and be commercially successful. This is an exciting time for Pinpoint and enables us to contribute to the UK effort to remain at the forefront of technology development, as well as providing our employees with job security and an opportunity to learn new skills. In addition, we will continue increasing our workforce and business partnerships in 2018”.
