Laboratory Systems Validation

Lab equipment, workstations, and networks, which transmit, collect, archive, and retrieve GMP data are required to be qualified and maintained in a validated state. Regulatory Compliance Associates Inc. provides support in determining which of our client’s lab systems needs to be qualified, and provides validation services to ensure these systems meet regulatory requirements. Regulatory Compliance Associates Inc. recommends the GAMP validation model and format, or the uses the client’s preferred format. Our lab system validation experts have the experience to provide validation services for new or legacy systems, and to create new life-cycle programs to maintain our client’s lab systems in a validated state, or integrate these systems into your existing life-cycle validation programs.

Network Infrastructure Validation

The key to a successful, cost-effective network validation is proper validation boundary identification. Improper boundary identification may result in noncompliance and/or huge life-cycle costs. Unlike many validated systems, most networks are dynamic, that is, they are in a constant state of flux or change. Improper boundary identification and qualification will result in unnecessary restricted network function, and/or users not adhering to SOPs, in order to perform their work in a timely manner.

Regulatory Compliance Associates Inc. computer validation experts have the experience to identify sensible network validation boundaries, which will allow the network to meet regulatory requirements and your company’s functional requirements at the same time. Our experts determine and implement the proper level of documentation and control, to allow our client to efficiently and effectively maintain your network, or a portion of their network, in a validated state.
