How do you handle unforeseen events that can impact your stability study? Unfortunately, extreme weather, flooding, fire, power outages, software glitches, and human error are very real possibilities. Do you have a stability storage back-up plan that can ensure your product stays safe, stable, and sterile when disaster (whether human-made or natural!) strikes?
Mitigate Threats Before They Strike
Pharmaceutical studies are complicated endeavors. The capital investment, time, and scientific expertise required are considerable. Disruption or delays to a project can result in months or years of lost research, time, financial resources, lost revenue due to a delayed product launch.
We know your thoughts are firmly on your research, but taking some time to consider your risks early can help save valuable time and costs in the future.
Some of the most common risks include power outages caused by weather, construction, or simply human error. While less-common, fires, earthquakes, and flooding are still possible. Software outages and data breaches can also wreak havoc to your stability trial continuity. This means downtime, lost product, and even delayed go-to-market.
Take some time to list out all of the threats you may face. These may differ based on your geographic location. Be realistic, but don’t shrug off even the most unexpected risks.
Do you have regular maintenance and monitoring in place? If not, this is the first place to start. Also consider designating an emergency response team who employees can turn to during an emergency.
Create a Back-Up Plan
Creating contingency plans to address these risks at the start of your study will help ensure continuity and project success.
Once you designate an emergency response team, assign them the responsibility of documenting standard operating procedures. Who is in charge during a disaster? What duties and responsibilities do team members have? How will teams lock-down data? Is there a relocation process?
Next, consider redundant storage units and back-up power systems. Keeping your data in an off-site chamber will help ensure your research isn’t lost completely. Partnering with a qualified stability storage vendor will provide your team “second site” contingencies, ensuring the uninterrupted progress of your study.
Finally, practice, practice, practice. Holding drills will ensure everyone knows where to go and what to do should there be an emergency.
Choosing the Right Stability Storage Partner
When choosing a stability storage backup partner, key areas to review are:
-Quality systems
-Staffing capacity and expertise
-End-to-end project management experience
-Customization capacity
-Corrective and preventive actions systems
-Document control methods
-Successful storage stability study track-record
-Responsiveness/customer service
