Some devices use software to control certain aspects of the device or perform data analysis while others use it to connect to the Internet and health care provider networks for monitoring and sharing data.

Validate vs. Verify: A Traceability Matrix Gift for You

“I need you to verify that we met our go/no-go criteria by Thursday at 4 pm.” -- Roger that. If you use these words, "validate" and "verify," in a quality control environment, you doubtlessly hear them used incorrectly. If you don’t use them, you should start. And in less than three minutes of your time, I can tell you why. But first: it isn’t your fault if you cannot distinguish verify from validate. References.

PowerPoint Presentation - ID:1181315. TMF Reference Model Standard = Process Efficiency. One of the many activities across the clinical development cycle that is non-negotiable is the creation, collection, management, and storage of the documents that are contained in the Trial Master File (TMF).

TMF Reference Model Standard = Process Efficiency

The TMF contains those essential documents that individually and collectively permit the evaluation of the conduct of a trial and the quality of the data produced. These documents serve to demonstrate the compliance of the investigator, sponsor, and monitor with the standards of good clinical practice (GCP) and with all applicable regulatory requirements.1 All sponsors—whether an individual, company, institution, or organization—and investigators conducting clinical trials in life sciences (i.e. pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or device trials) are required to maintain documentation for each clinical trial. Sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) expend considerable resources defining and redefining TMF content for each clinical trial.

EDM Reference Model Metadata and eCTD Submissions. Many of you are no doubt familiar with the EDM Reference Model.

EDM Reference Model Metadata and eCTD Submissions

This is a cross-SIAC initiative by the DRM (Document and Records Management (DRM) SIAC. [A SIAC is a Special Interest Area Community within DIA.] As a quick refresher, the goal of this group is to define a minimum set of metadata to enable the context of use of regulatory submission for CTD documents and supporting documents. In other words, what metadata should be used to tag each type of document that is included to or closely related to a CTD submission, in order to fully understand what information it is representing?

QUMAS - Quality and Regulatory Compliance Software. QUMAS - Quality and Regulatory Compliance Software. CAPA Management Software for Life Sciences. Pharmaceutical and Biotech Organizations are required to create Corrective Actions/Preventative Actions (CAPAs) on the basis of client feedback, audits, complaints, deviations, or inspections.

CAPA Management Software for Life Sciences

The QUMAS Quality Management Solution will ensure that corrective action plans are aligned with the source of the issue, removing the need for duplication of effort. Automated forms, business rules and a dynamic workflow engine make up the basis of the QUMAS CAPA Management Solution process, allowing for a corrective action plan to be created and executed on. Full audit trail and electronic signature functionality ensures compliance with 21 CFR Parts 210-211, 820, and 606 and EU Annex 11 requirements. This includes data integrity, traceability, data security and electronic signatures. The system allows you to automate routine operations and enhance efficiency. QUMAS preventative action software is designed to enable you to track and action CAPA deviations across multiple plants.

GMP Compliance for Pharmaceutical Laboratories. Agile development in a FDA regulated setting. I ran across an interesting Agile v. FDA discussion the other day. For those that are not familiar with what a FDA regulated product means, I’ll give a brief overview. In order to market and sell a medical device in this country — OUS (outside US) medical device regulations are different — you must have FDA approval. Most of the time, this involves a FDA Premarket Notification 510(k) submission.

Your company must be registered with the FDA and is subject to periodic on-site visits by FDA inspectors to audit your quality system records. Getting approval: In order to sell your device you not only have to prove safety and effectiveness, but you also have to demonstrate that the design and development of the device — including the software — follow Quality System Regulations. What this means is that your on-going software development process must adhere to a well defined quality system process.

Now let’s look at the Agile process. Conclusion: Thanks! MDDI Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry News Products and Suppliers. Validation Fundamentals.

American Pharmaceutical Review - The Review of American Pharmaceutical Business & Technology. ConcordiaValsource, LLC. Validation Readiness, Part I. Plan twice; validate once is a prudent variant of the adage. Cleaning validation is a hurdle in many applications, including aerospace, microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, and medical device manufacture.

The term “validation” is often associated with life science applications that are regulated by the FDA or analogous agencies world-wide. We choose to broaden the use of the term to include verification and documentation of cleaning processes in any industry that produces critical product. In this broader context, cleaning validation involves assuring the efficacy for the product being assembled and assuring that the product does not compromise the health and safety of either assembly workers or users of the product. In this context we are discussing cleaning, not sterilization.

The first step in validation, before any of the paperwork or signature cycles are established, is setting up an effective, rational, cleaning system. Compliance with US and EU Internal Audit Requirements. BioPharm International. Supplementary Material. Pharmaceutical Validation: VALIDATION MASTER PLAN (VMP) The VMP is a document that has never been mandatory, but is always one of the first documents a regulator asks to view. This is an extremely important document because in constructing it, many serious commitments and decisions have to be made.

Program conceptions have to be mated to the User Requirements Specifications (URS), Level 1, 2 and or 3, these specifications have to be mated to the Validation Master Plan (VP or VMP). From these plans the Design Qualification (DQ), Installation Qualification (IQ), the Operational Qualification (OQ), and the Performance Qualifications (PQ) have to be authorized, authored, approved for content, and issued for execution. The completed documentation has to be reviewed and accepted as complete by persons authorised to execute this role. All of these functions must be detailed in the VMP, when the project concept demands that avalidation master plan is required, or the Validation Plan (VP) where it does not.
