MEDICAL DEVICE TEMPLATES.
Introduction to FDA Medical Device Templates.
FDA Medical device templates produced by Validation Online can save the end user 50% to 75% of the normal authoring time. This use of interactive compliant documentation greatly simplifies the arduous task of producing all the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliant documentation which GMP compliance mandates.
Quality System Regulations for device manufacturers do not regulate how a manufacturer must produce its product. Rather, the regulation defines the framework and elements that must be present in a quality system.
FDA Medical Device Templates Classifications.
It is essential that all equipment including software destined for use with devices are subjected to early testing that will rigorous detect critical bugs and security vulnerabilities. This is acceptable best practice for enhancing reliability while reducing off the shelf (OTS) software device qualification costs. The FDA has issued guidance for proper validation of software in the form of the General Principles of Software Validation. The guidance applies to any "...software used as components in devices, to software that is itself a device, and to software used in production of the device or in implementation of the device manufacturer's quality system.
The FDA's guidance covers all aspects of device validation including software development - everything from requirements and design reviews to software maintenance and retirement. Any Device falling into Class IM, Class IS, IIa, IIb or III of the FDA Medical Device Templates Directive (93/42/EEC), must encompass the following 2 basic elements, as part of a Compliance Strategy;
· A Technical File - covering all Safety and Performance issues, and
· Either basic GMP or a Formal Quality System (eg: ISO 13485:2003 or ISO 9001:2000 or both) depending on your company's business objectives.
Class I Devices - Generally, require just Internal Control of Production and compilation of a Technical File. The Technical File then has to be held in case of a request by a Competent Authority. The final step is Self Certification and Registration with a Competent Authority.
Class IIa Devices - Require a Quality Management System to ISO 13485:2003 or ISO 9001:2000 or Annex V and compilation of a Technical File. The final step is an audit by a Notified Body.
Class IIb Devices - Require a Quality Management System to ISO 13485:2003 and compilation of a Technical File. The final step is an audit by a Notified Body.
Class III Devices - Being the highest risk devices, it is necessary to implement a Quality Management System to ISO 13485:2003 and compilation of a Design Dossier which is a more detailed Technical File. The final step is an audit of your device validation by a Notified Body.

Verification & Validation.
The regulators; today, expect medical device templates validation to perform to a high level. At the same time, the FDA medical device templates business has become highly regulated. For device validation to perform in this environment, the production testing of FDA medical device templates must have both compliant procedures and an excellent technical strategy.
Functional Testing Methodologies.
The simple view that each device validation has a set of functional specifications and that each device produced must be tested to those specifications is both ineffective and inefficient. An exhaustive test for the complete specifications of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), for example, would take significant energy from the device's battery and reduce its useful life. Exhaustive testing to functional specifications is best left to the design validation tests that are a required part of device certification.
A realistic and effective device validation test strategy requires several sets of test requirements based on component and manufacturing process specifications as well as critical functional specifications of the device. Test requirements describe and delineate setup conditions, stimuli and expected response parameters for individual experiments that constitute test steps. Test requirements are based on an understanding or model of real physical phenomenon. The model is never perfect, so measuring test coverage according to the test requirements is never perfect. Even a test that covers 100% of the requirements does not deliver a perfect product.
A set of medical device validation test requirements is needed because testing occurs repeatedly at different stages of manufacture, from component acceptance to final assembly. Each stage has a different set of specifications as well as different physical constraints on the test process.
Functional testing is necessary, and leaving all of it to final assembled devices drives up the rework cost. Implantable device qualification are ordinarily hermetically sealed (welded titanium cans for ICDs), which makes repair difficult.
Limited access to the complex circuitry in a finished device makes functional testing an appropriate choice. At this stage in the manufacture, the number of defects has been greatly reduced by eliminating defective components and repairing defective interconnections found by previous testing. For reasons previously mentioned, the functional testing needs to be limited. The focus for device level functional testing shifts from diagnostic resolution to highest efficiency of coverage. That is, stimuli are set up which produce responses that involve major sections of the circuitry, and as much data is gathered from each response as possible.

Validation Risk Assessment (Issue 11) $125.00
Risk Mitigation in Validation template (Issue 11) $125.00 The Risk and Part 11 Validation Risk Assessment(VRA) protocol is becoming the most important document in the validation online train. 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.
This VRA now includes the assessment table for categorizing and documenting the new 21 CFR Part 11 guidance ruling on what predicate data must be stored in a Part compliant system, along with the new broadsheet to establish your new database of part 11 records. (now mandatory).
Combined IQ-OQ-PQ Computer (Issue-4) $159.00
This Pharmaceutical Validation combination protocol has been produced in response to several hundred reader suggestions we received in our ‘Suggestions Section’.
