Course Overview
This 4 Day Online Course will give insights about FDA/EMA/MRHA regulations for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biologicals, tobacco and tobacco-related products (e-cigarettes, e-liquids/vaping, cigars) that pertain to computer systems used to create/collect, analyze, manage, report and transfer data (structured) and documents (unstructured) that support regulatory compliance. Learn about FDA’s efforts with EMA and MRHA to move to a more consistent framework & procedures for evaluating computer systems, based on risk, and ensuring data/document integrity is maintained throughout their life cycle. The Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) between FDA and EMA will be discussed.
Review key components and deliverables of the Computer System Validation (CSV), based on the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Methodology. You will also learn about a validation strategy for mobile applications & systems that are cloud-based and 21 CFR Part 11, FDA’s guidance for electronic records and signatures, and the importance of data integrity to compliance activities. Examples of FDA actions and citations will be provided and best practices to meet compliance requirements and ensure a company is inspection ready.
As regulated products are often subject to counterfeit activity, you will learn about the efforts by US agencies, including FDA and Customs and Border Protection, to improve global supply chain security. Understand how the Customs and Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), a voluntary program, provides a framework based on minimum security requirements that provide great benefit to member companies in terms of the speed and ease of moving products through the global supply chain.
Importance of performing a vendor audit for suppliers of computer systems, components and services will be discussed. In addition, you will learn about the challenges and best practices associated with compliance for software used with medical devices and Software as Medical Device (SaaS) products.
