Data Integrity Compliance for Computer Systems Regulated by FDA 2021

Data Integrity Compliance for Computer Systems Regulated by FDA 2021

Effective and compliant computer system validation is critical to any pharmaceutical or FDA-regulated organization. In this webinar, you will learn about these FDA trends in compliance and enforcement, as they relate to Data Integrity, and how to improve your practices to meet compliance requirements.

Why Should You Attend:

This webinar will help you understand in detail the application of FDA’s guidelines for Computer System Validation (CSV), which is in accordance with the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Methodology. This is critical in order to develop the appropriate validation strategy and achieve the thoroughness required to prove that a system does what it purports to do. It also ensures that a system is maintained in a validated state throughout its entire life cycle, from conception through retirement.

The SDLC will provide a framework for validation planning, allowing the attendee to understand all of the phases and deliverables required during validation. The end result will be a very well documented validation effort that will stand up to FDA scrutiny during an audit and assure that the data housed and/or processed using the validated computer system will be maintained with great integrity.

It is important to remember that in addition to validating a computer system subject to FDA compliance, the system must be maintained in a validated state throughout its lifecycle, until the system is retired or otherwise no longer used.

This webinar will describe the policies, procedures, training and other underlying support elements that are needed to ensure ongoing maintenance of a system in a validated state. In addition, FDA has heavily focused its resources on inspection targeting Data Integrity (DI). During the past ten years, the percentage of Form 483 citations and Warning Letters with issues related to DI has increased dramatically, and continues to do so through 2019. We will provide the requirements related to DI, examples of FDA findings, and will cover the industry best practices that will help you mitigate this potential risk.

During the past 30 years, best practices that have been developed will ensure that validation activities are cost-effective while meeting all aspects of FDA compliance.

While these practices have been employed, companies are being forced to do more work with fewer resources, leading to errors noted in citations, particularly in Warning Letters in the past 10 years. This has resulted in consequences including heavy fines and operational shut-downs.

Both FDA and industry recognize the need to review current practices to ensure they meet the standards for creating data with integrity and maintaining it as such throughout the entire life cycle.
