Regulatory Compliance
The Fusion QbD® Software Platform (Fusion QbD) contains the e-signature and e-record controls required to support full regulatory compliance for a closed system under 21 CFR Part 11. To be fully compliance supporting, the required controls are substantially beyond just those for logon access to the software system, and include measures designed to ensure the integrity of all system operations and information stored in the system. Such measures include ability to validate software operation and also use of computer-generated, time-stamped audit trails. Such auditing must extend to data exchanges with other closed-system compliant applications such as Chromatography Data Software (CDS). As an example, when Fusion QbD exchanges data with a CDS system, it automatically generates electronically time-stamped audit documentation which it records within its own audit trail and also enters into the electronic audit trail of the CDS so as to maintain the integrity and audit trail of the common data between the two software systems.
Software Validation
S-Matrix creates a Master Validation Documentation Package (MVD) for each released version of Fusion QbD. The VMD contains all documents, testing plans, and data sets required to fully validate Fusion QbD software installation and operation in customer environments. The VMD covers (a) all 21 CFR Part 11 compliance support tools and functions, (b) all installed Fusion Application Modules (FAMs - e.g. Fusion LC Method Development, Fusion LC Method Validation), and (c) all CDS Data Exchange Modules (DEMs - e.g. Agilent ChemStation/OpenLab DEM, Waters Empower 2-3 DEM).
