FDA Trends for CSV Compliance and Enforcement | Boston Seminar 2018

Overview:
FDA requires that all computer systems used to produce, manage and report on "GxP" (GMP, GLC, GCP) related products be validated and maintained in accordance with specific rules. This seminar will help you understand the FDA's current thinking on computer systems that are validated and subject to inspection and audit.
As a "GxP" system following Good Manufacturing, Laboratory and Clinical Practices; the computer system must be validated in accordance with FDA requirements. If electronic records and/or electronic signatures (ER/ES) are incorporated into the system, FDA's CFR Part 11 guidance on ER/ES must be followed.
This seminar will focus on the key areas that are most important, including security and data integrity. Implementing and following the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology is the best approach for Computer System Validation and maintaining data integrity. The life cycle approach takes all aspects of validation into account throughout the life of the system and the data that it houses. The data is a key asset for any FDA-regulated company and must be protected through its entire retention period.
Why you should attend:
FDA requires all computer systems that handle data regulated by the Agency to be validated in accordance with their guidance on computerized systems. This guidance was first issued in 1983, and the main points of focus remain consistent today, despite the number of years that have passed and the technology changes that have taken place.
The guidance was revisited for its application to the medical device industry, as the first issuance addressed pharmaceuticals. In 1997, 21 CFR Part 11 was issued to address electronic records and signatures, as many laboratories and other FDA-regulated organizations began seeking ways to move into a paperless environment. This guidance has been modified over the years to make it more palatable to industry, and this includes discretionary enforcement measures.
