RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Continuous And Effective Microbiological Air Monitoring In Critical Environments JF PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology JO PDA J Pharm Sci Technol FD Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) SP pdajpst.2019.010181 DO 10.5731/pdajpst.2019.010181 A1 Gilberto Dalmaso A1 Anna Campanella A1 Paola Lazzeri YR 2020 UL http://journal.pda.org/content/early/2020/02/14/pdajpst.2019.010181.abstract AB Manufacture of sterile products must strictly follow carefully established and validated analytical methods of manufacture and control. Based on this consideration, we evaluate scientific literature describing settle plates and active air sampler monitoring effectiveness. A contamination control strategy should be implemented by pharma manufacturers, especially aseptic productions, to assess the effectiveness of environmental monitoring and demonstrate the process is under statistical control. It is of key importance for microbiological monitoring data to correlate as best as possible with total particle monitoring data so each batch release is reliably supported.
