Industry-leading, Full-Service CQV
We apply our expertise with a risk-based approach to help our clients reach their project goals. Our expert CQV consultants also understand that although this approach can be helpful in minimizing cost and labor, each project is different and requires a tailored approach. Our project managers and subject matter experts have experience working with the different functional teams within manufacturing, validation, and quality to help define the best solution for our clients. The size and strength of ProPharma allows us to rapidly mobilize and demobilize project teams to meet schedule requirements
Why is CQV Important?
Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation (CQV) are essential processes in regulated industries, ensuring compliance, product quality, and safety. They mitigate risks, maintain data integrity, improve efficiency, and support regulatory approvals. CQV also enhances reputation, saves costs, and prioritizes patient safety in healthcare.
Our Commissioning, Qualification, & Validation Services
Validation Program Development
We partner with organizations to develop and implement continuously reliable and compliant validation programs that help clients successfully bring products to market. ProPharma utilizes a scalable/flexible approach to ensure the validation program is right-sized based on clients’ industry, clinical/commercial stage and size.
Gap
Assessments
Our gap assessment process utilizes a planning, execution, and reporting format focused on identifying program gaps and recommended corrective action/remediation.
Facility, Equipment, & Utility Qualifications
Projects ranging in size from small system qualifications to full greenfield/brownfield facility buildouts are routine. Our in-house project managers and SMEs have vast industry experience, transferring knowledge and expertise to the project team to ensure a seamless and efficient approach. Whether it is a single project or a portfolio of CapEx / OpEx projects at a single site, we are built to execute successfully.
Cleaning & Sterilization Validation
Our sterilization services include the physical (IQ and OQ) and microbiological inactivation (PQ) testing aspects for steam sterilization, dry heat, and vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
Our cleaning services involve a defined clustering approach of products, protocols, defined assays and limits, protocol writing, in-test lab selection support, execution of testing support, and reporting that results in effective controls for limiting the bioburden.
Process Validation
ProPharma’s product lifecycle approach towards process validation in pharmaceuticals and biotech helps you deliver optimal product quality by identifying the presence and degree of process variation and the impact variation has on process efficiency and product quality. Minimizing the variation reduces risks and ensures a robust process that reliably produces quality product.
Project Management
Through its internal project management process, ProPharma provides full oversight for validation services or capital project management outsourcing. ProPharma has successfully executed thousands of C&Q projects over the last 20+ years providing various levels of project management focused on schedule, cost, communication, and conflict management.
Staff Support & Outsourcing
At ProPharma, our network of 1,000+ CQV professionals can augment your internal capabilities to ensure project timelines are met utilizing experienced professionals. Our team acts as an extension of your engineering/quality/validation department, while our management team provides you with a direct line of communication for any operational assistance related to the resources deployed.
