procedures; these documents included Standard Operating Procedures (SOP),
Manufacturing Instructions (MI), CAPA’s, equipment maintenance instructions,
measuring instrument calibration procedures, and QC inspection instructions.
• Authored IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and test reports for processes utilizing equipment such
as sterile barrier sealers (pouch and tray), ovens, and prototype injection molding
machines. Performed product validations utilizing in-house equipment and personnel,
and performed validations for out-sourced services such as EO product sterilization.
• Coordinated all stages of product handling and control including purchasing, receiving,
inspection, stockroom, pilot plant manufacturing, discrepant goods, and finished goods.
