ISPE Publications Recommendation: Produced by pharmaceutical manufacturing industry professionals, ISPE Guidance Documents provide the practical, "real world" information you need to help your company build on current best practices to meet and exceed regulatory standards. Good Practice Guide: Comparator Management The Guide: Comparator Management is the pharmaceutical industry's first-ever resource for comparator processes. It has been developed to use as a central reference source that establishes strategic and tactical considerations related to comparator sourcing. It identifies good practices for making sourcing decisions, including how to set up a good sourcing team. The Guide also discusses good practices for blinding and releasing a comparator for use. The Guide will also explain the risks involved with ineffective comparator methods, and provide companies with strategies for avoiding the costs, delays and potential case study inaccuracies that might result from faulty comparator management. Good Practice Guide: Ozone Sanitization of Pharmaceutical Water Systems The Guide: Ozone Sanitization of Pharmaceutical Water Systems provides important insight into the design and use of pharmaceutical ozone sanitization systems, and is the first industry Guidance Document to take a holistic view of these issues. The Guide provides an overview of ozone sanitization systems, including regulatory considerations and other factors companies should take into account when deciding to use ozone vs. other sanitization approaches. It discusses specific system requirements, as well as associated advantages and disadvantages of using ozone as a water sanitization method. The Guide helps companies better understand what ozone systems are, why they can be a safer, more efficient and more cost-effective way to sanitize pharmaceutical water, and how they can be incorporated into both new and retrofitted facilities.
