Bootcamp Objective: Immerse yourself in the dynamic world of Computer System Validation (CSV) and learn how its effective application can streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and reduce the risk of system errors or failures.

Through practical case studies and engaging discussions, this bootcamp equips you with CSV expertise, ensuring smoother processes, reduced downtime, and improved operational effectiveness.

In today’s LifeScience industry, Computer System Validation (CSV) is a crucial component ensuring that critical systems operate within FDA-regulated environments efficiently and reliably.

“ As digital technologies evolve rapidly, the challenge of maintaining compliant and effective systems is more daunting than ever. With increasing reliance on digital data, ensuring the integrity and security of these systems is not just beneficial—it’s essential.“

The FDA’s stringent requirements for software validation demand a deep understanding and meticulous adherence to guidelines that can seem ever-changing.

For over three decades, the FDA has enforced regulations on computer system validation in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device sectors, and other FDA-regulated industries.

These regulations mandate meticulous planning, implementation, testing, and management of systems handling data.

In 1997, the FDA introduced guidelines for Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures (ER/ES), further detailed in 21 CFR Part 11. This regulation outlines the requirements for documenting and validating ER/ES in FDA-regulated systems.

Recognizing the challenge of inspecting every computer system, the FDA now requires industries to self-assess their systems based on risk, necessitating a well-thought validation rationale and strategy focused on potential system malfunction risks.

Key Testing Scope: Testing revolves around five critical factors: system size, complexity, business importance, GAMP 5 category, and risk rating.

The FDA’s increased emphasis on data integrity in computer system validation underscores the need for compliant systems. This includes systems involved in data creation, collection, analysis, management, transfer, and reporting under FDA regulation.

In This Interactive Bootcamp:

• Explore best practices and strategies for assessing computer systems in FDA-regulated environments.
• Understand the impact of system failures on data integrity, product quality, and consumer safety.
• Examine the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for validation, with a focus on risk assessment.
• Delve into 21 CFR Part 11, highlighting the importance of managing electronic records and signatures.
• Learn about essential policies, procedures, and documentation for compliance.
• Prepare for an FDA inspection and understand the criticality of auditing computer system hardware, software, and service vendors.
• Master industry standards, with a strong emphasis on data integrity and risk evaluation, to excel in your GxP-related roles.
