21 CFR 820.100(a)(6)

Each manufacturer shall establish and maintain procedures for implementing corrective and preventive action. The procedures shall include requirements for:

 

(6) Ensuring that information related to quality problems or nonconforming product is disseminated to those directly responsible for assuring the quality of such product or the prevention of such problems.

 

 

 



 

CAPA Dissemination Phase

Dissemination addresses:

 

  • Communications
  • Regulatory reporting
  • Training
  • Retooling where appropriate
  • Modifying responsibilities
  • Management accountability

 

Dissemination is the requirement to communicate information on the CAPA, including risks, remediation plans, and training to all responsible, affected, and interested parties throughout the lifespan of the CAPA.

 

The EU Guideline on good pharmacovigilance practices (GVP) – Module I EMA/541760/2011, characterizes the training requirement in this way, "Adequate training should also be considered by the organisation for those staff members to whom no specific pharmacovigilance tasks and responsibilities have been assigned but whose activities may have an impact on the pharmacovigilance system or the conduct of pharmacovigilance. Such activities include but are not limited to those related to clinical trials, technical product complaints, medical information, terminologies, sales and marketing, regulatory affairs, legal affairs and audits." A similar model applies to all quality processes.
