Environmental surveillance is a tool utilized to evaluate the effect of controls on the manufacturing environment. A process to assess the clean room and other controlled environments of a pharmaceutical facility can serve as an adjunct to the sterility assurance program for the microbial quality of drugs. The items addressed in this course include definitions, standards, surveillance support systems, system surveillance, validation systems, definitions and typical frequencies and levels.

During this training course you will have the opportunity to work hands-on with environmental monitoring equipment and media and develop a surface and air environmental monitoring program for PDA's cleanroom.
