2016 - Webinar on Tobacco Industry Trends for Computer Systems Regulated by FDA

Description :
We will discuss the importance of applying industry best practices when validating systems and applications used in the tobacco industry, as regulated by FDA. This includes system development, configuration, implementation, testing, validation and other System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phases for any IT system used in an FDA-regulated environment (i.e., the system "touches" product during the manufacturing, testing or distribution process). Such a system must be validated in accordance with FDA guidelines for computerized systems and documented accordingly.
This course will describe the best practices for validating such a system, including “who" should be responsible for tasks, "how" the documentation should be accomplished, and “what” specific criteria will be used to define success. FDA guidelines are very specific in terms of how this is to be done.
We will also cover other aspects of FDA computer system validation, including GAMP 5 System Classification, Risk Management, 21 CFR Part 11 (electronic records/signatures) and the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Methodology.
