Good Documentation Practices to Support Computer System Validation

Computer system validation has been regulated by FDA for more than 30 years, as it relates to systems used in the manufacturing, testing and distribution of a product in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device or other FDA-regulated industries. The FDA requirements ensure thorough planning, implementation, integration, testing and management of computer systems used to collect, analyze and/or report data.

Electronic records and electronic signatures (ER/ES) came into play through guidelines established by FDA in 1997, and disseminated through 21 CFR Part 11. This code describes the basic requirements for validating and documenting ER/ES capability in systems used in an FDA-regulated environment.

Areas Covered in the Session :

  • Learn the requirements for documenting efforts related to systems governed by FDA
  • Discuss the best practices for documenting computer system validation efforts, including requirements, design, development, testing and operational maintenance procedures.
  • Review examples of incorrect, incomplete, or otherwise inappropriate and non-compliant documentation and understand why these are not acceptable
  • Learn how to prepare a procedure that will capture the best practices for FDA compliant documentation
  • Discuss the importance of training as it relates to good documentation practices to ensure FDA compliance
  • Interactive Q&A Session
