Validation of Computerized Systems

Validation of Computerized Systems

In the segmentation scenario of “Life Sciences Validation of computerized systems is a national and international regulatory requirement, which is considered a process based on the creation, development of documentation, variable analyzes and evaluation/verification of the functionalities that guarantee, through documented evidence, that the system in question is in compliance with current regulations.

Validation of computerized systems is a fundamental and mandatory process for areas with BPX/GXP impact (Impact on Quality directly or indirectly of a process or product, which may have an impact on the health of patients/clients), which must be evaluated its life cycle, that is, from its conception to its retirement, ensuring the reliability and traceability of its generated data as well as its migration when applicable.

The VSC study process must consider the development of its documentation based on the categorization dictated by GAMP5, thus making it possible to develop the ideal documentary package for the system in question.

The VSC study carried out by Quality compliance includes, but is not limited to:

  • Preparation of ERU/URS;
  • Preparation of BPX/GXP impact analysis;
  • Preparation of a Validation Plan;
  • Preparation of Initial and functional Risk Analysis;
  • Preparation of functional specifications and design;
  • Preparation of installation/operation and performance qualifications;
  • Preparation of a data migration plan;
  • Preparation of a Traceability Matrix;
  • Execution of the VSC study;
  • Preparation of Procedures related to VSC;
  • Preparation of IT procedures and policies;
  • Carrying out audits;
  • Periodic review of systems;
  • Validation of electronic spreadsheets;
  • Data verification;
  • Training and development in compliance with current and current regulations.
