How to get the most out of Supplier Support  for Equipment and Computer Validation

Strategies for suppliers to maximize business and for users to minimize validation cost

Recorded, available with all reference material at any time

FDA's and industry task forces recommend leveraging vendor support for equipment qualification and computer system validation. For example GAMP 5 states: "Although the responsibility for compliance with GxP regulations lies with the regulated company, the supplier may have considerable involvement in the process. Regulated companies wish to leverage supplier knowledge and documentation".  Regulated companies are unsure what and how much validation support they can expect and ask for, suppliers on the other hand are unsure what the exact expectations of the regulated users are.

Frequent questions related to supplier validation support are:

• Who is responsible for validation of software: the supplier or the user?
• What can regulated companies expect from suppliers?
• We are a software vendor. What claims can we make about FDA compliance?
• What documentation should suppliers offer?
• How can vendors help with design qualification?
• How to develop an efficient supplier assessment program?
• What type of documented evidence should users have to leverage supplier testing?
• My vendor sold me a 'validated' software. Should I still validate the software at our site?
• How much can overall validation cost be reduced through supplier support?

How does the audio seminar help:

Answers to all these questions will be presented by Dr. Ludwig Huber in a new interactive audio seminar. During the seminar, the speaker will present strategies and give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation.

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

• Responsibilities of vendors and users for equipment qualification and software validation
