Software has become pervasive in medical devices themselves, and in the controlling, running and monitoring of medical product processes, whether in the pharmaceuticals, medical device, biologics or dietary supplements industries. Many of these applications feed into cGMP data acquisition and records, requiring addressing 21 CFR Part 11. A quick review of Internet forums will show much confusion about the subject. It is increasingly being used for e-records and e-signatures and in company-wide ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems. Regulatory auditors are more comfortable with delving into software issues. Effective and real world software V&V is even more important in today’s resource constrained industrial environment.
The verification and validation of medical industry software is coming under increased scrutiny by the U.S. FDA, and especially any software involved in cGMP compliance.
In this webinar, our presenter John Lincoln, will address the use of the FDA guidance documents, GAMP, 21 CFR 11, and other applicable industry software validation models, coupled with the ISO 14971 / ICH Q9 Risk Management models, and their real-world implementation. This session will also discuss and explain about a compliant, field tested (FDA and Notified Body) 21 CFR Part 11 software documentation model.
This discussion will focus on a preferred U.S. FDA documentation “model” in various applications, including ERP, in-device, as-device, process/equipment control, wherever cGMP data / records are gathered, utilized, stored and retrieved.
Areas Covered in the Session :
21 CFR Part 11, Electronic Records / Electronic Signatures – What it is and what it isn’t?
The proven V&V 11-element “model” – useful for all software V&V
Developing test cases / scripts from Part 11
“Risk Based” – what it means in SW V&V and how it should be used
Why Part 11 violations seldom show up directly on 483’s, but are there nonetheless
Insights on Cloud issues and Agile issues
