How do we deliver objective evidence with a high degree of certainty it will withstand regulatory scrutiny? Technology tools like a VLMS hold the answer.
In this blog post, we will explore how making your transition from the traditional CSV to the new CSA approach can save you time and resources.
Spreadsheet tools like Excel raise a regulatory red flag and can trigger an audit. Your best defense is a validation lifecycle management system (VLMS).
Learn how to write clear, defensible requirements and use Agile methodology and structured qualifiers to strengthen traceability in CSV and CSA.
Is CSA the new CSV? Not exactly. Here's your comprehensive guide to computer software assurance, the FDA's new framework for validating software systems.
The efficiencies gained, according to ValGenesis customers, range from 50% to 80% improvements. This lessens demand and allows more time to be focused on higher priority tasks. Knowing the ValGenesis VLMS ensures controls and standards are followed, according to customer-specific requirements, stakeholders are given a high-degree of assurance that Quality is ingrained in the process.
Understand the importance of assurance needs in the FDA’s Computer Software Assurance (CSA) approach and how to implement risk-based validation activities.
Traditional computer software validation (CSV) focuses on documentation. Computer software assurance (CSA) focuses on critical thinking.
Changing mindsets from compliance-centric to quality-focused isn’t easy. It’s possibly the most difficult change to make, but it’s necessary for a quality culture to take hold.
Unlock the potential of IoT in validation and manufacturing to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve product quality across pharmaceutical operations.
