Cost Effective Computer System Validation: Step-by-Step

With Case Studies and IQ, OQ, PQ Protocols for Easy Implementation

Recorded, available with all reference material at any time

Validation of computer system has been an FDA requirement since more than 20 years. Nevertheless companies have problems with implementation. This is proven through many FDA warning letters related to software and computer system validation, especially in the last four years. Validation professionals know the principles but have problems with implementation, especially with the development of compliant protocols.

Specific Questions related to validation of  computer systems are:

• What are the exact FDA requirements and what are inspectors looking for?
• What mistakes do other companies make?
• Which model should we follow: IQ/OQ/PQ qualification of verification?
•  Which documents do we really need?
• How detailed should requirement specifications be?
• Where and how to document the risk level of a computer system?
• How to justify and document that we have selected the right vendor?
• What information should users develop during installation?
• What and how much to test before we can use the system?
• Should we validate standard software functions?
• How to document and test configuration settings?
• What to tests and document ongoing performance?
• How much can we rely on vendor certificates and documents?
• Where can we get templates and example documents?
• Are there different requirements for US FDA and Europe?
• How can we keep validation costs under control

How does the audio seminar help:

Answers will be presented by Dr. Ludwig Huber in a new interactive audio seminar. During the seminar, the speaker will present give practical recommendations. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like case studies, validation plans, protocols, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation.

• Mr. Lawrence DeHeer, President, Blaze Systems Corporation, USA (Ref 1032)
  Comprehensive coverage with examples. Well structured and broken down into manageable pieces. Aligns and supports the most rigorous examples we have encountered and also demonstrates the inadequacies of less rigorous examples we have seen, helping us to guide our customers. This package is a must have starting point for anyone tasked with insuring a credible software validation effort. Worth many times the price. The package did exceed my expectations.
