The easing of the requirements
detailed in 21 CFR Part 11, has lead to other requirements being mandated. These requirements are all detailed in
our up-dated Validation Risk Assessment document. The Validation Risk Assessment (VRA) is
now a pretty essential document to have and use. To learn more about this Validation Risk Assessment contents, click here; VRA To purchase a ready to use Validation Risk Assessment document, click here; VRA It is a mandatory requirement that certain aspects of this assessment are documented and held as a regulatory required record. These are; Does the software require full life cycle validation? Does the software produce records that must comply with 21 CFR Part 11? If the data is definitely predicate data; how is compliance achieved? The answers to these questions are required to enable the Validation Plan to provide sufficient information to the protocol writers, to enable them to define the correct content for the IQ/OQ/PQ protocols. The VP is then used by the protocol writers as the official mandate for protocol content New Documents This Month.

CAPA discrepancies continue to be the biggest single source of problems. However the daddy of them all recently has been a well known company that had carefully documented the levels of experience and educational standards required for various GMP sensitive roles (In accordance with GMP), only for the FDA to find the persons in these jobs were not qualified properly.

It also includes an Excel spreadsheet to allow you to establish a permanent record of all such judgements, as is now mandated by the regulatory authorities.
Combined IQ / OQ Protocol. With HEPA filters, the manufacturers recommended dirty filter
change pressure differential (PD), is only correct if the filter is used at
exactly the the same air flow as the makers specify. If there is any digression
(there is often as much as 50% digression) then the makers PD must be corrected.
If this is not carried out you can compromise the integrity of your room /
machine pressure regimes. As you are no doubt aware this would be a very serious state to be in. There are also health and safety problems that can arise, if
personnel are not getting the air flow protection that is sometimes designed
into the system. This test script is not in the standard OQ, and is only available here as a download. Regulators ask to review your writen justification for these filter change PD's; make certain you have them. The SOP for Equipment Validation continues to be an extremely popular document. This document leads you through the validation process, from the URS to the final P2Q. |
