Overview:

This topic is focused on the use of mobile applications to process data regulated by FDA. These applications may be used to collect, analyze, transfer, report, or otherwise manage data that will be submitted to FDA and/or must be available for FDA review upon inspection or audit. Mobile applications may be used in any area of an FDA-regulated company. Functional areas where FDA-regulated data is typically processed include, but are not limited to Quality Laboratories, Manufacturing, Supply Chain/Distribution, Adverse Event Reporting, Post-Marketing Surveillance. Systems may also be used to monitor and/or control FDA-regulated processes and equipment, handle product labeling, product lot control, clinical trial and trial sample management, and many other processes.

In this webinar, the attendee will learn how to apply FDA guidance for computer system validation to mobile applications. We will detail the key areas of focus, including security, access and change control, along with the documentation that is required to create a complete and compliant validation package in a cost-effective manner.

Why should you Attend: We will discuss in detail how computer system validation can be applied to mobile applications subject to FDA regulations. 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.

Areas Covered in the Session:

  • Gain an understanding of how mobile applications should be handled when performing validation work
  • Understand the best practices for maintaining a mobile application in a validated state
  • Discuss the best practices necessary to ensure all systems, including mobile applications, are validated appropriately
  • Learn how to develop the appropriate computer validation strategy when dealing with mobile applications to ensure a good balance of cost vs. risk
  • Understand how to effectively document the process of computer system validation, and maintain current information about the various systems in your organization, as they begin to include mobile applications
  • Learn how to gain information about trends in validation of mobile applications, as industry progresses and new best practices emerge
  • Understand some of the key "pitfalls" to avoid when applying the concepts of computer system validation to mobile applications
  • Q&A
