GMP: Good Manufacturing Practices

How does GMP ensure you get quality products?

The Food and Drug Act of Canada stipulates how, and under what conditions, products for the
health food industry must be developed and manufactured to guarantee high quality and effectiveness.

Inovobiologic Inc. has consistently met and exceeded Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
ECHINILIN
is produced under these GMP standards.

GMP adherence can be summarized under four headings:

1. Quality Assurance, Analysis and Testing

2. Procedures, Documentation and Validation

3. Equipment and Facilities

4. Employee Training and Participation


1. Quality Assurance, Analysis and Testing

To achieve GMP status, great attention to detail must be paid to every stage of manufacturing. Key aspects include:

  • Use of consistent and carefully documented analytical systems
  • Raw materials testing and detailed specifications of all materials used in each product formulation
  • Procedures for handling any deviations, rejected batches and quarantined materials
  • Production and post-production testing, shelf testing and retained product stability testing
  • Establishment and management of product expiry dates

2. Procedures, Documentation and Validation

GMP on the whole has a great deal to do with clear, accurate and accessible records — for operations, of testing and results, of procedures and variances. Keeping an accurate and understandable paper trail of all pre-production, manufacturing, packaging and warehouse procedures is a significant component of GMP compliance.

3. Equipment and Facilities

When it comes to the equipment and facilities used to create Inovobiologic Inc. products, every aspect has been planned, controlled and checked for quality and consistency. Each piece of equipment has a cleaning and maintenance schedule. Each mechanism is calibrated as required and then tested to ensure that all machines are operating at peak performance levels.

Rigid standards of cleanliness are maintained throughout the entire production facility.

4. Employee Training and Participation

GMP doesn't just happen. It takes careful planning, consistent management and dedication from each employee throughout the organization. Our Quality Assurance, manufacturing, packaging, distribution and facilities management are all required to take GMP training and follow Standard Operating Procedures for their areas. Everyone takes responsibility for keeping their areas in GMP compliance and this makes it possible for us to offer our customers guaranteed products every time.
