GMP Fundamentals: Buildings and Facilities
A “GMP Facility” is a building that is used in the production of pharmaceutical and medical device products. The proper design, layout, function and control of such facilities is essential in the manufacture of pure, safe and effective pharmaceutical products. In this course, learners will focus on understanding the building layout, safety, cleanroom conditions, as well as facility sanitation and ventilation of both production and support areas. In this On Demand course (part 4 of 11), you will learn the elements of GMP Buildings & Facilities, as required by regulation. Interactive Course…
Airflow Pattern Visualization (AFPV)
This Airflow Pattern Visualization online course provides a unique opportunity to explore the requirements for airflow pattern visualization and to see different video examples of actual airflow pattern visualization results. The course provides a comparison of different types of airflow patterns, but focuses primarily on unidirectional airflow patterns in critical areas (ISO 5).
