2019 - Current Trends in FDA Compliance and Enforcement for Computer System Validation (CSV)

Overview
Pharmaceutical, biological, vaccine, medical device, tobacco and other companies regulated by FDA must be vigilant in understanding compliance and enforcement by the Agency as it relates to computer system validation (CSV). In all cases, regulated companies should do the right thing and have robust computer system validation programs that are well executed and documented in order to meet the strict guidelines set forth by the FDA.
At any given time, there will be areas the FDA focuses on more heavily, usually due to adverse events, or other issues that crop up within the regulated industries. In response, they may come down harder (or softer) in their enforcement practices.
The key is to understand what the compliance requirements for computer system validation entail, how best to meet these strategically and tactically, and how best to position your organization to anticipate actions and enforcement by the Agency.
Why should you attend this webinar?
FDA requires that all computer systems that handle data regulated by the Agency to be validated in accordance with their guidance on computerized systems. This guidance was first issued in 1983, and the main points of focus remain consistent today, despite the number of years that have passed and the technology changes that have taken place.
The guidance was revisited for its application to the medical device industry, as the first issuance addressed pharmaceuticals. In 1997, 21 CFR Part 11 was issued to address electronic records and signatures, as many laboratories and other FDA-regulated organizations began seeking ways to move into a paperless environment. This guidance has been modified over the years to make it more palatable to industry, and this includes discretionary enforcement measures. The intent was to avoid creating a huge regulatory compliance cost to an industry that was initially preventing companies from embracing the technology.
This session will provide some insight into current trends in compliance and enforcement. Some are based on technology changes, and these will continue to have an impact as new innovations come into use in the industry.
