Welcome & Introduction of Trainers and Participants
9:15
Introduction into test sets for manual visual inspection
- What is in principle a test set?
- Why do we need test sets?
- When should a test set be created?
- Overview of agenda of the training course
- naming the different types of test sets covered in the course
- main purpose
- timing when this type of test set will be covered during the course
- Distinction of test sets required for visual inspection from test sets required for CCI testing
9:45
Introduction into test sets for automated visual inspection
- How to handle test sets during a project?
- Test set for validation of automated visual inspection machine including AVI development test set
- Test set for daily performance check of automated visual inspection machine
- Knapp test set
10:15 Coffee Break
10:45
Purposes of test sets and background to the test set qualification process
- 100% VI and AQL
- QC testing (e.g. stability)
- Generation of supportive data for quality investigations/ Inspection support - justification of qualification process and control system
11:00
Design of test sets
- Introduction into a flowchart that has all the necessary steps to decide on the design of the test set (the flowchart should be one of the main course deliverables)
- Why do I need a risk assessment?
- How do I perform the risk assessment?
- What must the test set look like?
- Which primary packaging do I have in the facility?
- Which particle sources do I have in the facility?
- Which product defects do I regularly see in the facility?
- Which defects must be included in my test sets?
- Relevance to quality investigations: criteria for assessment of the criticality of quality events
- Frequency of occurrence
- Typical vs Atypical
- Relevance to QC testing
- Introduction into US FDA classification
- Intrinsic
- Extrinsic
- Inherent
- Generic vs. product-specific test sets
12:15
Particles and defects
- Overview of types of particles
- Spherical particles (balls)
- Irregular glass fragments
- Adhering particles
- Overview of other defects
- Container defects (Cracks, Scratches, Leaking)
- Stopper defects
- Cap defects or crimping defects
- Contaminations (inside outside)
- Solution defects
- How many containers must be included in the test set?
- “defect-free” containers
- “defective” containers
- What must my associated defect library look like?
- Types of defects
- Sizes of defects
- Major defect
- Minor defects
- Critical defects
- Which classes of defects must be included in the test set?
