Computer System Validation - Reduce Costs and Avoid 483s at Chicago IL

Description:
Computer Systems Validation (CSV) also known as Software Validation is all-pervasive in the Life Sciences Industry. It is a requirement of all the predicate rules, as well as 21 CFR 11 and Annex 11. The latter impact all areas of ICH Q9 and ICH Q10. However, unless one knows how to implement CSV, it is often very hard to detect the requirement for CSV, and very hard to determine what needs to be done, to meet domestic and / or international regulations or business continuity requirements. In addition, the FDA has stepped up 21 CFR 11 inspections that include CSV.

Consequently, the number of 483s / Warning Letters due to CSV continue to be on the rise. It is estimated that 1 in 5 of Medical Device Recalls are due to incorrect CSV. Currently, there are many outstanding Official Actions by Regulatory Authorities (e.g. 483s, Warning Letters, etc.) that include citations for CSV. This is expected to further escalate as technology advances and companies need to consider Cloud Technologies and , as well as patient privacy issues such as HIPAA

Costs of not understanding CSV are enormous: One 2013 incorrect implementation of CSV resulted in fines of up to $3Billion. Software Projects requiring CSV often overrun by several months. Corrections to a CSV 483 can result in costs of $250,000 and often multiple issues are found. More importantly, CSV is a foundation to other discovery, development & commercialization of products and CSV failure includes failure of those efforts.
In this Seminar attendees will learn:

This Hands-On course will provide the attendees with both a strategic and a tactical understanding of how CSV fits into all aspects of the Life Sciences Industry and how to implement CSV to ensure successful inspections. It will address the following topics:
1. CSV in the Life Sciences Industry: What it is, where to find requirements in other guidances including 21 CFR 11 & Annex 11, how it fits in with ICH Q9 and ICH Q10
2. How to implement CSV
3. How Cloud, , Patient Confidentiality are impacted
4. CSV & Business Continuity
5. How to have a successful FDA inspection
6. 483s & Warning Letters and how to respond to CSV related citations
