Does Annex 1 of the GMPs apply to the manufacturing of ATMPs?
The answer is clear: NO. Annex 1 (𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘴) does not apply to ATMPs manufacturing. However, it is surprising that we still find professionals in the field and specialized consultants who defend the opposite and, sometimes, even some poorly informed inspectors.The position of the regulatory agencies is
Kirhtech and Netsteril jointly develop VH2O2 Biodecontamination Transfer Hatches, Isolators and RABS
The entry into force of Annex 1 of GMP standards has had a disruptive impact on the way sterile medicines are produced. Now, and explicitly, the regulation requires the use of barrier technologies to reduce the risks of contamination. As a consequence, the implementation of RABS and/or aseptic Isolators

GMP washing machines: COP equipment
What is a GMP washing machine? In pharmaceutical industry, automatic cleaning is usually associated with the acronym CIP (Cleaning In Place) and certainly, CIP systems are very common in applications such as tanks, reactors and others. On the other hand, the acronym COP (Cleaning Out of Place) is not
Annex 1 draft: Time to understand the difference between sterilisation and biodecontamination.
Introduction: the problem of the Annex 1 draft around VH2O2 to ‘sterilize surfaces’ As many of you may already know, the draft of the new Annex 1 (v12) questions vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP/VH2O2) cycles as a method of surface sterilization for parts of indirect contact with the product. It is
Demystifying the VH2O2 biodecontamination (Part 2)
Is it correct to state that in a VH2O2 biodecontamination process, a thorough concentration control is necessary to validate? Are corrosion risks always associated with fogging processes? Is it necessary to dehumidify the environment to achieve good biodecontamination? All these questions are common in biodecontamination projects. It is time to understand the scientific basis behind this technology.
Demystifying the VH2O2 biodecontamination (Part 1)
I have been working in the development of Solidfog Technologies‘ biodecontamination systems business for more than 7 years. I have witnessed the excellent results achieved with their technology. It is a different and an innovative solution, designed to meet the standards and expectations of the pharmaceutical manufacturing companies. Getting the

Airborne disinfection of cleanrooms with VH2O2
The control of microbial burden on surfaces such as in GMP production areas, R&D animal labs and hospitals is a daily challenge. Many rooms have high ceilings and are equipped with complex equipment, furniture, computers, etc. In practice it turns out that disinfection by wiping is a difficult task
