Industry Experts Share Best Practices Of Implementing A ‘Validation Ready’ Cloud Based Global Labeling System
Medical device, clinical trial and pharmaceutical companies cannot afford to take short cuts when validating their labeling systems and processes, they need to be stringent in meeting quality standards during the production process. However, working your way through the validation minefield of what is needed to be compliant is no easy task, and can become an ongoing task that’s time consuming and costly.
No matter the size of company, whether large or small, the principles of validation are the same. Not only are there the initial implementation requirements to meet, but there is also ongoing maintenance of the policies, procedures, qualification document libraries, training and replacement hardware costs to consider.
Many regulated companies are now moving to cloud-based solutions, believing it is the ideal answer. But be aware, different solutions offer different levels of qualification and associated documentation, and only a few are truly ‘validation ready’. Computerized systems that use GxP processes are qualified only when the system can demonstrate its ability to fulfil the strict requirements demanded by GxP standards.
In this 60-minute information packed session, PRISYM ID and supporting experts will share best practices on compliance, what to look for in a ‘validation ready’ cloud-based solution, how to leverage your supplier and how to remove the burden associated with compliance enabling your production team to focus on labeling and production control.
