Webinar On Demand: Device and Container Testing for Pharmaceutical Products - A CRO Perspective

Webinar On Demand: Device and Container Testing for Pharmaceutical Products - A CRO Perspective
Design verification testing (DVT) plays a critical role in bringing drug delivery systems and combination products to market. In this webinar, Smithers experts provide a comprehensive overview of DVT, with a focus on physical performance testing, regulatory expectations, and the application of industry standards. The session explores how manufacturers can generate objective evidence that device designs meet specified requirements, while aligning with global frameworks such as FDA 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485.

Through real-world insights from a contract research organization (CRO) perspective, the webinar also examines risk management, common pitfalls in regulatory submissions, and the importance of validated test methods. Attendees gain a deeper understanding of how to design robust testing programs for a wide range of delivery systems, including prefilled syringes, autoinjectors, and on-body devices, while ensuring performance, safety, and compliance across the product lifecycle.
