On-line Audio Seminar 172

Electronic Raw Data in FDA Regulated Environments

Definition - generation - maintenance - archiving

Recorded

The FDA defines raw data as: "Any laboratory worksheets, records, memoranda, notes, or exact copies thereof, that are the result of original observations ... and are necessary for the reconstruction and evaluation of a study. In the event that exact transcripts of raw data have been prepared, the exact copy or exact transcript may be substituted for the original source as raw data". The rule mentioned computer print-outs and magnetic media as examples. With the early interpretation of 21 CFR Part 11 raw data generated by a computer have more or less been defined as the original digital data captured by a computer. Original data together with meta data were expected to be retained for the entire life of record retention as required by the predicate rule. With FDA's new interpretation this has changed but the FDA still asks for such original electronic records during inspections. So the industry is more unsure than ever on what to do.

Key Questions are:

What are FDA requirements and inspection practices for raw data in GLP/GCP/GMP?
What exactly are raw data: original electronic data, first human readable data, computer print-outs?
Which data should be retained and archived?
Can I delete the electronic records after I have printed and signed the electronic records?
For how long should raw data be retained?
In which form should raw data be retained?
How can I demonstrate integrity of raw data?
How important is risk assessment for my decision?
We move to a new computer systems that can not handle old data - What to do?
I transcribe data from paper into an data base. Can I scrap the paper?
I scan paper print-outs and store PDF files in a data base - can I delete the paper records?
Should I be able to reprocess the raw data and if so for how long

How does the this audio seminar help:

Answers 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 and examples. After the seminar, an extensive list of reference material like SOPs, worksheets, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation.

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

FDA Requirements for raw data and meta data
FDA Inspection and enforcement practices
Recommendations from industry task forces: GAMP/ISPE guides
Definition of raw data: original records vs. standard electronic formats, paper print-outs
Ensure and demonstrate integrity of raw data
The importance of risk assessment for the management of raw data
Electronic record maintenance during archiving period
Software to manage and archive raw data and other electronic records
Data migration to new systems
Developing a procedure for consistent raw data management
Examples from laboratories, offices and manufacturing
