Our training courses with The GMP Professor are designed by course developers with over 40 years of CGMP experience. Furthermore, our company brings to those courses many commonly applied industry practices that may apply to your site as well.

New FDA Guidance to Avoid Overfill of Vials - ECA GMP News

Updated July 2, 2024;

The original link broke.

People are also asking about:

- - -  the original post follows below  - - -

Read the full article: GMP News: New FDA Guidance to Avoid Overfill of Vials - ECA:

"If a liquid is withdrawn from a vial by means of a syringe, remains of the liquid stay in the vial or on its walls. Since it is nearly impossible to extract 100 % of the liquid but the dosage has to be correct, nevertheless, vials usually are slightly overfilled. A vial with a dosage of 1 ml might for example contain 1.1 ml. The FDA has two points of concern: on the one hand some manufacturers fill up to much or not enough drug products without sufficiently justifying this which may result in medication errors. On the other hand the leftover of several vials with excess volume could be pooled to obtain a further dose which could lead to microbial problems."

FL Certified Designated Representative - Candidate Info Booklet



Updated July 26, 2026

Links broke in the original post.

Florida Certified Designated Representative Candidate Information Booklet (CDR CIB)

CAUTION - there are old versions of the candidate information booklet (CIB) that can be found on the internet. Be sure you're referencing the most current version. Here's how to find it.

Go to the home page of the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation:
http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/

In the search box, enter "candidate information booklets."  Choose English. Then click "DDC – Certified Designated Representative."

- - -  original post follows below  - - -

Here's the latest version of the CIB:
State of Florida - Candidate Information Booklet (CIB) for the Certified Designated Representative Laws and Rules Examination - Oct 2011.

Beware, there are older versions out there.

If you're preparing to take the Florida CDR Exam (Certified Designated Representative), make sure you're referencing the latest and most current version of the CIB (candidate information booklet).

While simply Googling, I ran across three different versions of the CIB.  One was the outdated October 2010 version, another was dated March 2011.

Bottomline, be sure you find and reference the most current version of the CIB.

Select e-Learning That Is Pure, Safe and Effective


Selecting an online e-Learning course is really rather simple.
  1. Identify the course you really need. An Internet search is a great way to learn what is offered.
  2. If they boast about being the least expensive, remember that you get what you pay for. The best business advice I ever got from one of my accountants was, never purchase cheap.
  3. Compare the objectives of each course versus your requirements.
  4. Call the vendor and ask if there is a handout. If not, begin to wonder if the vendor is afraid that the lesson content may not be accurate and not stand up to a critical review.
  5. Ask to see a preview of the course. If they do not offer a free preview, question what they are hiding. Be concerned that you will be paying a lot of money to read a book on your computer screen.

An E-learning Black Box Warning: Caution, This Course May Be Hazardous to Your Sanity

I have taken many e-learning courses over many years.

Recently I purchased an e-learning course that really needed to carry a black box warning: Caution this course may be… After purchasing the class I signed in and after some struggling I finally found the first lesson. I clicked the link that said “start.” Well it did, sort of. A PowerPoint slide popped up. Now, I like PowerPoint if done well. However, this slide was full of text so small that I could not read it except by switching to my large screen monitor. There were two paragraphs of text. Now I must admit that I am getting a little older and perhaps the eye glasses need an update. So I waited for something to happen. I waited and waited, until I realized this was it. Read the text baby. So read I did, clicked continued, and finally got to the quiz. While taking the quiz, I wanted to review some content. No, that was not allowed. I responded to the questions the best that I could. If I missed the answer, the only feedback I got was, Incorrect!.

After one lesson I decided that there had to be a better way to learn. I found someone who offered the course in a true online e-learning environment.

Watch tomorrow’s blog to learn how to choose an e-learning provider.

Not All E-learning Is The Same

Everybody wants to offer online e-learning solutions for their staff training and development needs. But not all e-learning is the same. E-learning should go beyond reading a book on a computer screen. Honestly, if I am going to read the words on a page I would rather be under a fluffy blanket, and be curled up on the couch with a pot of hot tea and some butter cookies. E-learning should make full use of the technology of the computer.
  • I want the instructor to talk to me, preferably, on the screen.
  • Add some pictures, or better yet, add some live action video and animation.
  • Provide some interaction to keep me fully engaged and challenged.
  • Provide a handout to go along with the course so I can use that as a memory jogger after I have completed the course.
  1. E-learning developers, challenge yourself to go beyond republishing the text book on the computer screen.
  2. E-learning purchasers, demand more from your providers.
Watch for tomorrow’s post for an e-learning black box warning.

PDA FDA - Interesting Manufacturer Statistics

At the recent international PDA/FDA meeting, some very interesting statistics were shared. Drug products are manufactured in over 130 countries. In those 130 countries, there are over 300,000 manufacturers. Those manufacturers work through 130,000 importers. It is no surprise that the FDA requires drug manufacturers to audit suppliers and assure that the plant shown is the plant that will manufacturer the drug product. The FDA wants to make sure that there are no "shadow plants" being operated out of CGMP compliance.

Ready For Drug Pedigree Rules?

Updated November 10, 2022

The original post didn't age well.

You might also be interested in:
  • Board-approved California Designated Representative courses: 

---  the original post follows below  ---

I recently attended a conference that included representatives from the European, Asian, and U.S. regulatory agencies. At that meeting there was much discussion around pedigree rules. Some of the concerns expressed begin with importing drugs and bulk actives (now called active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)). At this level, manufacturers are required to qualify supplies. This means that a manufacturer must actually visit the API manufacturing site to assure themselves, and the public, that the production facility shown to the auditor is the actual site of manufacture, and that there is no "shadow site" where the real work takes place. Internationally, there are different approaches to the pedigree. In Europe there is exploration with a "book ends" approach. This approach requires the manufacturer to issue the initial pedigree. The next pedigree touchpoint is at the pharmacy when the product is dispensed to the patient. The thinking is that if the product is moving between known distribution channels, then the product is protected. The U.S. requirement is to document every change in ownership. This means that every touchpoint is documented. Yes, regulators in Europe realize that this approach probably provides better assurance of the supply chain. However, they are also concerned about how much work to pass on to the smaller distributors who may not be staffed for this level of documentation.
