On-line Audio Seminar 175

Risk Based Computer Validation for Highest Efficiency and FDA Compliance

Strategies and Tools for Implementation

Recorded

Recent FDA and industry guidances recommend to base the extent of validation of software and computer systems on risk. This is great because when implemented right it can help to reduce validation costs. Frequently risk categories are easy to define but the real challenge comes when users should take action to optimize risks versus costs. In this interactive audio seminar we will go through various scenarios and recommend actions for validation and other controls.

Key Questions are:

• How to define how, medium and low risk systems
• How to develop a risk based validation program
• What to validate high, medium and low risk systems?
• Should we do anything for low risk systems? (Recommendation from FDA's John Murray at the IVT CSV conference: "Avoid the words 'do nothing'. Define and implement controls for each category".)
• What to test for high/medium and low risk systems?
• How to assess the supplier risk?
• How to reduce testing through risk assessment?
• How does business risk influence extent of validation?
• How can I justify and document my decision?

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, templates and examples will help immediate and cost effective implementation

During the interactive presentation you learn about:

• FDA/EU and business requirements
• Guidance from regulatory and industry task forces: ISO, ICH, GHTF, NIST, GAMP/ISPE
• Practical approach for risk assessments
• How to develop a risk based software and computer validation program
• Validation tasks for risk categories for each life cycle phase
•  Planning, design and specifications, vendor assessment, installation, testing, change control, back-up, contingency planning
• Validation tasks segmented by system complexity
• Documenting the decision for management and for the FDA
