Hello,
What is your rule of thumb for steps to undertake when implementing a like-for-like change of a critical, custom raw material (candidate RM), assuming the new supplier of the material is on your approved supplier list?
I assume you would require the supplier to manufacture three or so lots of the critical RM and you would manufacture the component or product using that candidate RM (candidate product) the way you manufacture it with the previously approved raw material and perform release testing. Would it be sufficient to test the candidate product using your regular release testing or would you do additional testing to qualify the candidate RM?
Also, how about changing the supplier of the IVDD calibrator/ standard? Would that be different/ require more scrutiny than just release testing of a few lots of product?
