Course Description

The FDA is bringing a significant shift to the Computer System Validation (CSV) strategy with its new Computer System Assurance (CSA) methodology.

Expected to be implemented soon, this new guidance is designed to streamline the validation process by applying Quality Risk Management principles directly to computer systems.

In this 90-minute webinar, we will:

  • Dissect the CSA approach to understand its core concepts.
  • Explore the key matrices and tools essential for making solid risk determinations.
  • Provide a framework that simplifies computer system implementations and ongoing maintenance.

Key questions will be addressed to ensure effective adoption of CSA, including:

  • Does the software impact patient safety?
  • How does the software affect product quality?
  • What is the software’s impact on your quality system integrity?

Join us to gain the insights necessary to navigate this critical transition and ensure your systems are compliant and efficient under the new FDA guidance.
