Overview:

Software problems are now the third-leading cause for recalls of medical devices. Most recalls are because of incorrect verification and validation for safety. Most of the knowledge on how to do a comprehensive V&V is not widely understood.

You'll come away with an actionable understanding of:

  • Developing and creating buy-in for a project validation plan
  • Understanding what the FDA accepts as an appropriate documentation model
  • Beyond just in-product software V&V - understanding FDA's expectation for your testing software, ERP software and more
  • When and how to use DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ or their equivalents
  • How GAMP 4/5 requirements fit into your V&V planning and execution
  • Detailing the FDA's 11 key V&V documentation elements:
    • Level of concern
    • Hazard/Risk analysis
    • Software description
    • SRS (Software Requirements Specification)
    • Architecture
    • Design specification
    • Traceability (Matrix; Paragraph Numbering)
    • Development
    • V&V (Verification/Testing & Validation: IQ, OQ, Part 11 test cases, if required, PQs)
    • Revision history and release number
    • Unresolved anomalies ('Bugs')

Why should you Attend: Software design is a complex set of interactions within the device, with the connecting devices, and with users of the device. Usually multiple factors affect the device performance. Therefore right validation is the key to prevent device recalls. The software associated with medical devices is getting closer scrutiny than ever before because of increasing prevalence in industry, greater chance for problems, and the comfort level of FDA investigators in asking for and auditing software applications.

In a 90-minute in-depth program, Lena Cordie demonstrates a preferred FDA 11-element documentation model in various applications; including ERP, in-device, as-device, process/equipment control and cGMP data/Part 11 applications. She addresses the use of FDA guidance's, GAMP 4/5, 21 CFR 11, and other applicable industry software validation models, coupled with the ISO 14971 / ICH Q9 Risk Management models and their real-world implementation.

Areas Covered in the Session:
  • FDA Quality System Requirements for software
  • FDA guidelines on software verification and validation
  • Smart software verification methods
  • How to design smart validation tests
  • How to conduct black box testing and white box testing to perform thorough validation

Who Will Benefit:
  • Software Developers and Managers
  • Internal Auditors
  • Quality Assurance Personnel and Management
  • Software Quality Personnel
  • Software Test Personnel
  • Regulatory Affairs Personnel and Management
  • IT Managers and System Administrators
  • Software Validation Engineers
