The VRA reassures the regulators that you have looked at specific equipment functionality and considered the appropriate level of validation that is required. You have also considered various aspects of its use and the implications of any malfunctions. From the results of this exercise the scope of all validation activity can and must be justified. This is a robust and simple to execute document, one that will lead you through the process and deliver a result that can be used as the foundation for your Risk Mitigation in Validation template.

GAMP Validation Documentation Templates

Spreadsheet applications in the library will be reviewed / verified every 3 years to address the validity of the validation documentation which includes formula integrity. Reviews will be managed via the Validation Manager program.

If you would like to learn more about spreadsheet validation and how to optimize and safeguard your validation projects, please reach out to our knowledgeable team at the ProPharma Group. Our experts can walk you through the process and help to ensure that your spreadsheets and templates are air-tight and ready for validation.

If you are new to the pharmaceutical industry, or any other FDA-regulated industry, and are interested in learning more about validation as it pertains to automated systems, this article will serve as a high-level introduction to the basic concepts and standard requirements. Regardless of role, having a basic understanding of the concepts and typical documentation, will allow engineers to better appreciate the effort involved in ensuring compliance. Becoming familiar with the basic terminology will also help with conversations you may have with counterparts directly responsible for these items.

With over 40 years of experience supporting clients within the pharmaceutical, life sciences, and food and beverage industries, Matrix has been involved with the design and implementation of automated systems that are subject to FDA oversight, thus requiring varying levels of validation testing. As such, we have applied that knowledge to provide a list of common acronyms, identify applicable standards, and share details around typical documentation.

Manufacturers that choose to create and maintain electronic records and utilize electronic signatures, rather than printing paper records and handwriting signatures must implement controls for the software and systems involved in processing the electronic data. This includes the necessary design documentation, validation testing, and audit logging and review.

This section describes the various types of documentation that is common within the regulated industries, particularly within pharma. Most end-users will have standard templates for each type of document. In some cases, Matrix has provided these documents using our own templates.

Operational Qualification. The purpose of an OQ is to verify that the system operates in accordance with the design documentation. This document is typically generated by the validation team with support from the automation team.

Requirements traceability matrix. This document is typically generated in conjunction with protocol generation. The purpose is to correlate the system requirements, as defined in the URS and design documentation, with their corresponding testing within the validation protocols. Since all system requirements have to be fully tested, this document provides assurance that nothing was missed.

Clients can also expect that ZenQMS takes a conservative GAMP 5 (Category 4)-driven approach to validation, wholly consistent with new FDA guidance for Computer Software Assurance (CSA). We encourage all clients to leverage our validation materials rather than starting from scratch. To that end, we share all validation documents and provide UAT templates to clients at no charge. Our goal is to make sure our customers (even those with limited resources) can validate our software and navigate the UAT in just a few days.

"Siemens has produced a "Validation Manual" based on the recommendations of the GAMP Guide. This provides internal project teams with general information and concrete templates (document templates) to help specify the validation strategy for a project. There are templates not only for project planning documents but also for system specification and test documentation. In contrast to this GMP Engineering Manual, the Siemens Validation Manual is intended for internal Siemens use only."

Further on, you need to establish the necessary validation procedures and templates. At this stage, it is useful to collect relevant release notes, validation, and verification documents from your software vendors. All of those will support your validation activities. Moreover, create a list of your requirements for those software tools.

Operational and regulatory requirements demand discipline and precision, and E Tech Group stands by our quality process. Our team has the experience and the proven quality system necessary to successfully develop system documentation to support validation.

When tests by supplier are properly documented and software versions are controlled, supplier test may be leveraged into the validation documentation. When the supplier has formally tested (and documented) all requirements the following test approach may be used for a Factory Acceptance Test:

The computer system validation consulting service develops and produces results in documentation form as tangible evidence, assuring that all software features within the scope of data security, auditing, and e-signature are suitable for intended use. Our CSV offering provides complete or partial consulting services with associated documentation:

Regulatory agencies like the FDA (USA) and EMA (Europe) provide the guidelines and necessary oversight to ensure Medical Device manufacturers follow validation protocols for products and the underlying manufacturing systems, processes and documentation. Validation by its nature proves adherence to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). Process validation exists to confirm that a designed process will execute in a repeatable manner, to ensure the end product is of consistent quality and performance. For manufacturers, the benefits of validation include better repeatability, fewer mistakes, less rework and redesign, faster time to market, improved competitiveness, and lower production costs. However, the ultimate goal for validation is to ensure that each medical device is safe for patient use and will function correctly without error and potential to harm.

For an MES application implemented in a regulated industry like Medical Device manufacturing, it is mandatory to be compliant with both CSV/CSA and 21 CFR Part 11/820 requirements, as the former focuses on a risk-based validation approach and the latter is focused on ensuring that the whole system works in harmony, as a foundation for enforcing that established SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) are controlled and can be validated through associated documentation, practices and procedures.

Automated Validation allows for complete traceability between the end user and customer requirements sets and has expanded features, out of the box, for product documentation, master validation templates, and version-related documentation.

This requirement has naturally expanded to encompass computer systems used both in the development and production of, and as a part of pharmaceutical products, medical devices, food, blood establishments, tissue establishments, and clinical trials. In 1983 the FDA published a guide to the inspection of Computerized Systems in Pharmaceutical Processing, also known as the 'bluebook'.[5] Recently both the American FDA and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency have added sections to the regulations specifically for the use of computer systems. In the UK, computer validation is covered in Annex 11 of the EU GMP regulations (EMEA 2011). The FDA introduced 21 CFR Part 11 for rules on the use of electronic records, electronic signatures (FDA 1997).The FDA regulation is harmonized with ISO 8402:1994,[6] which treats "verification" and "validation" as separate and distinct terms. On the other hand, many software engineering journal articles and textbooks use the terms "verification" and "validation" interchangeably, or in some cases refer to software "verification, validation, and testing (VV&T)" as if it is a single concept, with no distinction among the three terms.The General Principles of Software Validation (FDA 2002) defines verification as "Software verification provides objective evidence that the design outputs of a particular phase of the software development life cycle meet all of the specified requirements for that phase."[7]It also defines Validation as"Confirmation by examination and provision of objective evidence that software specifications conform to user needs and intended uses, and that the particular requirements implemented through software can be consistently fulfilled". The software validation guideline states: The software development process should be sufficiently well planned, controlled, and documented to detect and correct unexpected results from software changes." Annex 11 states "The validation documentation and reports should cover the relevant steps of the lifecycle."

The definition of validation above discusses production of evidence that a system will meet its specification. This definition does not refer to a computer application or a computer system but to a process. The main implications in this are that validation should cover all aspects of the process including the application, any hardware that the application uses, any interfaces to other systems, the users, training and documentation as well as the management of the system and the validation itself after the system is put into use. The PIC/S guideline (PIC/S 2004) defines this as a 'computer related system'.[10]Much effort is expended within the industry upon validation activities, and several journals are dedicated to both the process and methodology around validation, and the science behind it.[11][12][13][14] 041b061a72
