On-line Audio Seminar 119

Eight Steps for Cost-effective Software and Computer System Validation

Get 10 most important documents for free: SOPs, Checklists, Validation protocols

Recorded

While validating processes and equipment is well understood by people in the regulated industries software still confuses people, despite of a 20 year history and availability of guidance from industry and the FDA. The result is an increasing number of FDA 483 form inspectional observations and warning letters in this area.

Key Questions related to software and computer validation are:

• How to develop a computer validation master plan?
• What is the level of detail of user requirement and functional specifications?
• How to qualify the supplier: when is a vendor audit a must?
• What and how much to test at installation?
• I have multiple installations with the same configurations, should I test all of them or is one enough?
• How to document functional testing - when do I need to make screen captures?
• How to initiate and document changes to my computer system?
• How to validate networks and Excel?
• How to validate existing (legacy) systems?

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 go through all validation phases 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:

• Software and computer system validation requirements in US and EU
• Inspection practices and findings: examples of FDA inspection reports, 483's, warning letters
• Validation planning
• Writing user requirements and functional and specifications
• Validation during development or qualification of the vendor
• Qualification phases: IQ, OQ, PQ
