This Matrix must sit along side your VMP or PVP and together with these documents give a very concise overall picture of your validation program. This four part matrix allows you to list all the equipment and systems that must be qualified. Each entry is allocated a row in the matrix. The row consists of eleven headings, these may be edited as required (but come with all the standard documentation titles inserted). In this matrix there is room to enter the document number, prefixed by, A to D. The document number gives you the instant cross reference to the current document, the A to D prefix shows the progress stage.

This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) takes you through the validation process for software, from the very early first stages to the final closing stage. It will ensure that your validation is seamless, that the correct documents are raised, approved, executed, reviewed and accepted correctly. It shows how to use validation tools such as the very important matrix control document and equally important software risk assessments. There are ever-increasing demands on the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical industries to meet increasing regulatory and legislative requirements, whilst improving the performance and efficiency of the business. This SOP shows the way to streamline your validation while still being fully compliant. Easing and smoothing the production and flow of protocols, so decreasing costs and delivering validation ahead of schedule. It is essential material for the new comer to validation and will direct you flawlessly through all validation tasks. For the company it is an essential SOP to add to the library. For your convenience it is written in word.

The document that sets the standard, and specifies your requirements in a manner that ensures when a system or piece of equipment is selected, it will deliver the functions you want, it will have maintenance standards, it will have calibration records, it will have all the documents and records to enable successful validation to be completed. This document was designed to be used as a live document up until the DQ is completed and approved. It uses three levels of URS, URS Level 1, 2 and 3, and is the only URS to guarantee traceability from the URS through to the final PQ and OQ functionality testing. A mandatory requirement for Full Life Cycle Validation of computer systems that are the subject of predicate rules. It can be used on mechanical, electrical and software controlled, monitored or driven systems.

This document follows our proven practice of supplying a interactive generic document with an automatic method of populating it. Once populated, all you need to do is follow the prompts in the attached SOP. They will take you through the completion process section, by section. At the end of this process your generic document has progressed into a detailed, referenced, bespoke company document. The document follows our three level URS system that ensures functionality traceability from the URS to the various testing protocols. A great document to author and use. This document interfaces with our Validation Risk Assessment assessment (VRA), Validation Project Plan (VP), User Requirements Specification (URS), giving a seamless flow from your VMP through the VP - IQ - OQ - PQ, while integrating flawlessly with the URS - DQ - VRA.

This document follows our well developed method of using a generic document and allowing the customer to apply an attached detailed SOP to it, turning the generic document quickly into a first class company bespoke document. This VP details and integrates all validation activities and procedures required for a small to medium sized project, involving production/facility/utility equipment using electronic controls or monitoring.

The Performance Qualification is the last of the qualifying tests that equipment and processes are subjected to, prior to the actual first product run. It maybe that there are some steps in the process that can only be verified by actually running them (quick freezing and sublimation, to mention only two) or it somtimes is the fact that the product is a very expensive product, and can not be wasted. So no one wants to run the process with product, until they are completely certain there will be minimal waste.

This combination protocol has been produced in response to several hundred reader suggestions we received. It has been carefully designed to make it the preferred choice for the qualification of embedded and stand-alone software used in the pharmaceutical, medical devices and bio-technical industries. It is interactive, easy to use and well detailed.
The IQ section establishes documented verification that key aspects of the software adhere to approved design intentions and that the recommendations of the regulators have been suitably considered. The OQ section establishes that there is documented verification that the installed system functions as specified and that there is sufficient documentary evidence to demonstrate this. The PQ section gives documented verification that the equipment performance in its normal operating environment is consistently exactly as specified in the URS.

The Standard Operating Procedure attached to this generic design qualification protocol, will chapter by chapter, take you through the task of raising a fully detailed document. The main body is split into fourteen tables, each one probing the design requirements and standards for the individual requirement. Safety and security along with user operability are very detailed. The document will lead you through all these design aspects allowing you to delete some you feel are not important to your equipment. It is an easy document to use and will ensure that you’re DQ’s are relevant, up to date and easy to execute. Practically all the requirements are in table form. Allowing fast and clearly presented results to be obtained.
