"BIOFLUORESCENT PARTICLE COUNTING – A SOLUTION FOR MEETING ANNEX 1 VIABLE AIR
TESTING REQUIREMENTS"

Speaker Bio Synopsis



Mike Dingle is a Senior Product Specialist at TSI where he provides application
support for the BioTrak Real-Time Viable Particle Counter and other TSI products
used to test and monitor controlled environments. Prior to joining TSI, Mike

monitoring programs for a wide variety of controlled environments.





Annex 1 of the European Good Manufacturing Practices is the most widely followed
guidance in the world for the monitoring of pharmaceutical cleanrooms. After
numerous drafts and pandemic related delays, an update was released in 2022. A
push for modernization is a theme throughout the document. This is viewed as a
way to not only avoid shortages through increased production, but to also
improve quality. Biofluorescent Particle Counters (BFPC) are a modern method for
viable air monitoring in Grade A environments that is fully automated and
provides results in real-time. Implementing their use in place of traditional
microbiological methods increases process understanding and eliminates
interventions that interrupt production and introduce risk.

field experience on implementing domain-specific Large Language Models that can
be also executed offline, on private data and on commodity hardware





Generalist Large Language Models (LLMs) are available as a service from multiple
providers (OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, etc.) and show emergent capabilities that
can address diverse and more or less complex tasks. But they come also with
challenges and risks, in particular when they have to deal with domain-specific
and regulated industries, such as any in Life Sciences. This talk explores the
risks associated with generalist and closed source LLMs and showcases which
alternatives exist for domain-specific tasks in Pharma, to mitigate risks and
reduce the financial impact for adoption

Grid Ireland, an All-Ireland representative body for the Irish energy sector.





Just 7 hours of anesthesia with desflurane is the equivalent of a 15,700 km car
journey in terms of emissions! The unique requirements of the healthcare sector
(single use items, sterile packaging, vast volume supply chains) means that the
industry has a hugely negative impact on the environment and 80% of Carbon
emissions from the sector come from its supply chain. While all Medical and
healthcare companies have an obligation to limit their environmental impact,
this must be balanced by the regulatory requirements of the sector & commercial
goals. There are 4 simple principles to MICE and applying these can bring
practical changes to supply chains and have a really positive impact on
emissions. M – Measure: If it’s not measured, it’s not managed! I – Investigate:
Every organisation is different. Where are your environmental problem areas? C –
Communicate: Effective communication is critical for sustainable success E –
Engage: Work in collaboration with partners (manufacturers, sub-contractors,
freight forwarders) for optimal results

The intersection of IT (Information Technology) and OT has significantly
transformed the landscape of pharmaceutical manufacturing. As Operational
Technology becomes increasingly integrated with digital networks and systems,
the potential attack surface for cyber adversaries expands. A successful
cyberattack on OT systems can lead to devastating consequences, including
production disruptions, compromised product quality, safety hazards, and even
threats to human health. In my talk, I will delve into the key reasons why the
Life Science sector must prioritise cybersecurity for Operational Technology to
build resilience against Cyber Threats. The pharmaceutical manufacturing process
relies heavily on interconnected and automated systems. Implementing robust
cybersecurity measures becomes imperative to safeguard against malicious
attacks, ensuring the uninterrupted production of life-saving medications. In my
presentation, I will also discuss best practices and practical strategies to
enhance OT cybersecurity resilience in pharmaceutical manufacturing. I aim to
highlight real-world case studies and lessons learned from the industry,
empowering the audience with actionable insights to tackle the cybersecurity
challenges they face.
