Aseptic Processing: Principles in Practice
Short course (Durham and Varies) by Honeyman · £1560 · Current
It is well understood that sterility of an aseptic product cannot be determined by direct assessment of the finished product. Therefore, microbiological safety of the product can only be achieved by careful assessment of the hazards and control measures in place to provide the confidence that the items are safe for the patient and fit for use. Historically aseptic processes have relied heavily on monitoring of the environment, air, surfaces and personnel to verify the success of the process. However, modern aseptic processes require a more holistic assessment of all the protective measures in place within the process and the complex interaction between these control measures, this approach is fully covered within this course. We guarantee that on completion of this course, with the knowledge gained, you will look at aseptic processing from a new perspective.
