			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/09/02/sony-walkman-s.gif" border="0" alt="" />Sony has eked out a small victory against Apple in the market for portable music players.Sales of Sony's Walkman <a href="http://www.wow-leveler.com/ffxivpowerleveling.html" target="_blank">ffxiv power leveling</a> line beat those of Apple's iPod line in Japan for the month of August, according to survey results released Thursday by BCN, a Tokyo-based research firm. During August, Sony took a 47.8 percent share <a href="http://www.wow-leveler.com/ffxivpowerleveling.html" target="_blank">Final Fantasy XIV Power leveling</a> of the portable music player market, while Apple captured 44 percent. This marks the first time that Sony has inched ahead of Apple in a monthly tally since BCN began its surveys in 2001.If it sounds like you've heard this news before, well, that's because you have. Sort of. It was a year ago almost <a href="http://www.wow-leveler.com/ffxivpowerleveling.html" target="_blank">FF14 Power leveling</a> to the day that BCN reported higher sales for Sony's player in late August--but that victory was just for a single week. Of course, timing is everything. In both cases, the Walkman outsold the iPod just ahead of Apple's annual refresh of <a href="http://www.wow-leveler.com/ffxivpowerleveling.html" target="_blank">ffxiv powerleveling</a> its iPod lineup. So Sony likely received a temporary boost from customers who held off buying iPods until the new models hit the market in September, according to BCN. The survey results also include only dedicated music players, leaving out Apple's iPhone.But also, BCN said, the Japanese electronics giant has been trying to push more affordable products, a strategy that may have helped Walkman sales last month as well.Collectively, Apple <a href="http://www.powerlevelaion.com/FFXIV-powerleveling.html" target="_blank">Final Fantasy XIV Power leveling</a> and Sony own 90 percent of the portable audio player market in Japan, with about a dozen other vendors duking it out for the remaining 10 percent, according to BCN (Google Translate version).On Wednesday, meanwhile, Sony used the IFA show in Berlin to unveil its new, cloud-based Music Unlimited service, venturing once again into waters dominated by Apple's iTunes service.</div>

I work for an instrumentation manufacturer, one of the products in the range has just had software developed for it and one appliaction (of many different industrial applications) is in pharma settings. Some customers who are interested in the new software ask about validation. Please can you tell me what exactly 'we' the manufacturer (who obviously developed the software) has to do to validate the software. Many thanks for your advice. KLEE</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I am trying to calculate the MACO for a mouthwash so the acceptable daily intake is not applicable.  Would the following calculation be acceptable?<br />
<br />
	MACO = mg analyte product A divided by kg batch size of product A x weight in kg of the smalles batch size (product B) divided by a safety factor of 1000 x product contact surface area of shared equipment.<br />
<br />
For example:6.63 kg of sodium fluoride per 600 kg batch = 6, 630,000 mg/600 kg =11,050 mg NaF/kg batch<br />
11,050 mg NaF/kg x 19 F- /42 NaF = 4999 mg Fluoride ion/kg batch<br />
Shared equipment = 21,106 in2<br />
Safety factor = 1000<br />
Smallest batch size = 6000 kg<br />
<br />
Calculation:<br />
<br />
MACO =	 4999 mg F-	x	600 kg (smallest batch)	=0.1421 mg Fluoride Ion/in2<br />
	Kg batch	1000 x 21,106 in2<br />
<br />
 Therefore, for a 9 in2 swab area, the maximum allowable fluoride residue is 1.28 mg F- .   <br />
Thus this make sense?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
  Some of the products are transferred within sites (ie.,from site 1 to  site 2 ) permanently. In that case we perform concurrent validation for the transferred products. Suppose if the product is filed for any regulated markets, generally exhibit validation batch reports should be submitted. <br />
    My doubt is, the exhibit validation batch reports will be as per site 1 (w.r.t environmental control, mfg process, equipment operation..) but when the product is  transferred to site 2 i believe some changes will be there (w.r.t environmental control,mfg process , equipment operation). <br />
 <br />
 a) In what way this transfer from site 1 to site 2 affect the product quality. <br />
<br />
 b) Stability status of the product, when the product is cross referred to exhibit valildation batch .<br />
<br />
 c)  If so is it sufficient to submit only the concurrent validation report to the regulated market of site 2 .<br />
                 or <br />
 d) We have to submit the exhibit validation batch report of site 1 &amp; concurrent validation report of site 2 .<br />
<br />
    Can any one suggest, how can we justify this change in validation<br />
<br />
 Thanks <br />
<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello all,<br />
<br />
How can I validate a HPLC prep method?<br />
<br />
In short, the process is like that : DNA oligos are synthesised, then purified on a HPLC prep, and finally analyzed by the QC.<br />
<br />
Our QC, use an analytical HPLC. And the methods are all validated according to ICH guidelines (repeatability, specificity, linearity and accuracy// LOD LOQ are not studied because we don't quantify on HPLC). <br />
I don't think that all of these parameters need to be verified on a HPLC prep method, isn't it?<br />
<br />
HPLC prep method validation has to be lighter then analytical method validation.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the mistakes,<br />
Best regards</div>

Does anyone know of any UK (MHRA) or European (EMEA) regulation which is similar to or equivalent of 21CFR Part 11? <br />
<br />
Presently our company takes a blanket approach to RERS, applying 21CFR Part 11 to all systems which fall within its scope - I'm of the opinion that a lot of effort could be saved not performing assessments/remedial actions upon systems which aren't used in the manufacture of product for FDA regulated markets.<br />

Any opinions?</div>
