3Dsolve Announces Dr. Carmen M. Wagner
Joins Advisory Board
3Dsolve to Create Aseptic Training
Simulations for the Pharmaceutical Industry That Can
Be Used Any Time, Anywhere
CARY, N.C. (April 24, 2007) — 3Dsolve,
The Simulation Learning Company, is proud to announce
the addition of Dr. Carmen M. Wagner to its advisory
board. Dr. Wagner, the founder and president of Strategic
Compliance International, will provide guidance to 3Dsolve
as it develops multiuser, high-fidelity e-learning software
for pharmaceutical companies worldwide. 3Dsolve’s
aseptic training simulations are designed to run on
a standard laptop, making it possible for trainees to
practice cleanroom processing techniques at any time
regardless of location.
3Dsolve selected Dr. Wagner to aid in
the creation of learning simulations for pharmaceutical
employees due to her extensive experience in the development
of technical training that support regulatory compliance.
The 3D simulations of real-world sterile facilities,
equipment and processes will provide a safe place for
pharmaceutical industry workers to practice reactions
and decision-making in a variety of situations. 3Dsolve’s
training applications for the aseptic environment will
address topics such as basic microbiology, hygiene,
gowning, handling of equipment and specific procedures
covering the aseptic processing area and other operations
requiring intensive practical training. The first simulation,
which is designed to improve the overall process of
aseptic cleanroom training, will be made globally available
to pharmaceutical production personnel for a small annual
subscription fee.
“In addition to saving companies the expense of
maintaining dedicated cleanrooms for training, 3Dsolve’s
learning simulations will give trainees a safe place
to learn without taking risks with real facilities or
products,” Wagner said. “The level of detail
and intelligence built into the cleanroom simulations
is unprecedented and represents a significant innovation
in training for aseptic processing. Although, not a
substitute for the “real” facility exposure,
it sure enhances our ability to expand the learning
experience in a safe, cost-effective way.”
The very nature of cleanrooms and pharmaceutical
manufacturing makes training difficult. Given the potential
cost resulting from an interruption of operations due
to a simple mistake, training in aseptic procedures
within the cleanroom itself, with an actual operation
running, is very difficult. Students are often expected
to train as observers and then imitate the aseptic techniques
they have seen when approved to perform the tasks. In
practical terms, this is equivalent to having a student
pilot observe a seasoned aviator and then go solo without
ever having taken the controls.
3Dsolve’s aseptic cleanroom training
simulations will apply best-of-class instructional design
and state of the art simulation technologies to solve
the mission-critical problem of training pharmaceutical
industry workers in proper aseptic techniques for cleanroom
operations. Using standard personal computers, operators
will be able to complete several hours in the simulated
environment, honing and internalizing critical skills,
either prior to interacting with the actual processing
line, or in parallel with the “real life”
experience, which may make them more comfortable to
experiment and learn, helping eliminate the risks of
human error posed by new employees. By using this simulation
learning technology, trainees can gain hands-on experience
regardless of where they choose to access the program.
This allows for training to be executed in the field
or in the comfort of one’s home.
