Laboratory Compliance 2012 - Laboratory Investigation Out-of-Specification Results

In this 90-minute training on laboratory Out-of-specification (OOS) investigations, you will learn what constitutes an OOS observation, what is the OOS investigation process described in the OOS guidance and steps to be taken in the laboratory in the event of an OOS observation.

Inadequate procedures for laboratory Out-of-specification (OOS) investigations remain high on the list of FDA observations. The FDA has issued a guidance on the topic. OOS procedures and investigations are still a topic of FDA Investigator review and findings. An out-of-specification laboratory observation triggers emotional and political actions that inhibit a productive investigation with a timely conclusion.
