Overview

This event will focus on the FDA's expectation and current thinking in today's global environment for pre and post approved products. Developing successful Stability testing strategies manage resources and implement best practices.
The pressure to ensure the regulatory requirements are met for stability testing is high within industry as they focus on cutting budget and avoiding recalls. Establishing an effective and efficient stability testing program is key to your success.
This event is focused on key challenges you are facing today and how to utilize the best procedure to deliver high quality data and combat your issues.

Unique Considerations for Stability Testing of Biological Components in Medical Devices
Dr. Nadine Ritter, Biologics Consulting Group

Biological products have specific requirements for stability testing based on their complex and heterogeneous macromolecular structure, their sensitivity to physical and chemical stress, and their typically non-linear degradation kinetics. Technical and regulatory elements of stability studies applicable to the biological components of combination medical devices will be presented. Challenges faced in selecting and validating stability-indicating methods to determine the stability profile and shelf life of biologically-based medical devices will be discussed

The use of Pharmaceutical Stability Tools in Medical Device Stability Programs
Laurie Larkin, Synthes USA

I. What is the Changing Stability Environment?
• What is the meaning of "stability" in the context of Medical Devices?
• Outline the pressures inherent in the current FDA Environment.
• Are the pressures different for our northern neighbors?
• How about the EU Environment?
• Recent Stability Regulatory Actions
II. We don't have to re-invent the wheel for Medical Devices. There are Pharmaceutical based tools we can use in Medical Devices to improve the Quality and Robustness of Medical Device Sta ility Studies
• The concept of QbD
• The concept of Stress Testing (Forced Degradation)
• The concept of excursion simulation
III. Other Important Points to Consider
• The concept of intrinsic stability
• Don't forget package stability
• Things Device Companies can miss when they enter the Combination Product Arena

Bonus Material
• FDA guidance based pre-stability points to consider checklist
• Case Studies based on theoretical devices

Statistics in Stability, tools of the trade
Discussions on the application of statistical tools including arrhenuis, p value, data pooling, Dixon test, multiple and single regression
