Swab or rinse? The method may be familiar, but the sampling decision needs sufficient context for another person to execute it consistently—and for a reviewer to understand and reconstruct the rationale.

This webinar examines sampling-method selection as part of a controlled cleaning-validation strategy. It explores the relationship between the chosen sampling method, the precise sampling location, the associated analytical method, the sampling protocol, and the rationale supporting the instruction.

Participants will examine where ambiguity can arise even when procedures are approved, including situations in which a written equipment reference does not clearly identify the exact sampling point. The session will also explore how controlled 2D or 3D equipment visuals can provide location-specific context, while change records and audit trails support traceability as sampling guidance evolves.

ValGenesis iClean^TM will be referenced briefly as an example of a digital approach that can map sampling points on equipment visuals and link them to the associated analytical methods and sampling protocols.

Register for this webinar to assess whether your current sampling instructions are clear, current and ready for review.
