It is essential for your facility to comply with local and federal regulations. Our expert guidance can help ensure your facility meets regulatory standards.

CGMP Quality Systems Development

A quality system is a set of written policies, processes, procedures, and defined responsibilities that an organization must implement to assure that the quality attributes of a finished drug product are consistently met. Let our experts in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs develop your quality management system to comply with regulatory requirements, mitigate the cost of poor quality, and improve patient outcomes.

Due Diligence Analysis

A due diligence audit is the assessment of a potential investment that seeks to identify the facility, operational, personnel, or compliance issues prior to proceeding with a transaction. If you are looking to purchase a compounding pharmacy or a manufacturing facility, contact our consulting team to ensure that you are equipped with the information to support your decision-making process.

Equipment Qualification

We understand how important it is for your equipment to function properly. Your instruments play a crucial role in maintaining the quality of your products and the safety of your employees. To guarantee that your equipment is functioning optimally, it is recommended that most equipment and instruments be regularly inspected, calibrated, and checked to ensure that it is performing as expected. Our engineers at Eagles are dedicated to ensuring that your systems are performing at their best. Learn More

Cleaning validation is the process of ensuring that the cleaning procedures for manufacturing equipment effectively prevent product contamination. Therefore, it is essential to document cleaning validation thoroughly to demonstrate compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) for finished pharmaceuticals. Our experts have vast experience in developing cleaning validation protocols that meet both regulatory standards and client expectations. Learn More

Disinfectant Efficacy Testing (DET)

Testing the effectiveness of disinfectants is crucial to ensure that the agents used in sterile manufacturing areas can successfully eliminate potential contaminants from surfaces. Our team of experts has extensive experience in developing protocols and performing DET on a number of surfaces to meet both regulatory requirements and client expectations.

Facility Design Review

GAP Analysis/Third-Party Audit

A gap analysis/third-party audit is a comparison between your current compliance status and the regulatory requirements that govern your operation. Our Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Team will review and assess your systems, processes, and documents to identify the gaps in compliance, evaluate the risk of non-compliance, and assist in remediation to ensure that your organization is inspection ready. Learn More

Process Validation

Process validation involves analyzing data collected during a product’s design and manufacturing to ensure that the process consistently produces products that meet a specific standard. Our experience in process validation, i.e. sterilization, depyrogenation, aseptic process (media-fill) and more will benefit you.

On-Site Aseptic Training

At Eagle, we offer a variety of On-Site Aseptic Training options to meet your specific needs and requirements. One example of this is our on-site training program, where our microbiologists provide training to your personnel on how to properly evaluate plates after incubation. This ensures that you have documented training for future reference.

USP <800> Compliance

We provide services that help meet the USP requirements for facility and equipment compliance. Our services include certifying Containment Primary Engineering Controls (C-PECs) and Containment Secondary Engineering Controls (C-SECs), as well as conducting thorough reviews of your facility design and workflow.
