Class II biologicals play a vital role in treating various diseases and conditions by aiding the body’s repair and reconstruction processes. The Australian Code of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for Blood and Blood Components, Human Tissues, and Human Cellular Therapy Products establishes requirements to ensure that therapeutic products adhere to safety standards and meet specifications.
This presentation will highlight key areas GMP non-compliance observed during recent TGA inspections with a particular focus on a lack of validation/qualification of critical processes, materials, utilities, and equipment. All of which could significantly affect the quality and safety of biological products.
