Functional System Requirements Planning for Computer Systems Regulated by FDA
Carolyn Troiano has more than 35 years of experience in computer system validation in the pharmaceutical, medical device, animal health, tobacco, e-cigarette/e-liquid and other FDA-regulated industries. She is currently an independent consultant, advising companies on computer system validation and large-scale IT system implementation projects. During her career, Carolyn worked directly, or on a consulting basis, for many of the larger pharmaceutical companies in the US and Europe. She developed validation programs and strategies and collaborated with FDA and other industry representatives on 21 CFR Part 11, the FDA’s electronic record/electronic signature regulation. Carolyn has participated in industry conferences and is currently active in several IT and compliance professional organizations.
This course is intended to provide specific guidelines for coaching attendees on the best practices for developing requirements for computer systems regulated by FDA. There are several key types of requirements that will be covered, including user, functional, performance, system, environmental and other categories.
The attendee will learn about the requirements for planning, executing and documenting the requirements and the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM), along with who is responsible and how these should be timed within the overall validation execution.
The course will focus on the key aspects of requirements development and management, including best practices and principles for handling this key component of project work in an FDA-regulated environment (i.e., the system “touches” product during the manufacturing, testing or distribution of the product, or during any other functional activity). The material will include the various aspects of how to develop requirements, and the result will be a prescriptive approach to helping teams and individuals reach a higher level of compliance. It will also provide guidance on how to keep costs low and avoid “scope creep,” which can lengthen the time and require more money to achieve.
FDA guidelines are very specific in terms of how computer systems are to be managed, and each company should have a specific strategy and methodology, along with a set of rigorous tactical processes and procedures that prescribe how third-party participants in projects should be managed.
Who Should Attend
Within FDA-regulated companies, people in the following roles will benefit from this presentation:
- Computer System Validation Specialists
- Information Technology Professionals
- Automation Analysts and Managers
- QC/QA Analysts and Managers
- Laboratory Analysts and Managers
- Manufacturing Analysts and Supervisors
- Supply Chain Managers and Analysts
- Compliance and Audit Managers
- GMP Training Specialists
- Business Stakeholders/Subject Matter Experts
