About the educational Session
US FDA first endorsed a risk-based approach to GMP in 2002, and GAMP5 translated this into a computerized systems validation (CSV) approach in 2008. Even now in 2020, many companies are still uncertain how to apply a risk-based approach to their own systems. The recent industry buzz around computer software assurance (CSA, a proposed US FDA guidance) has really only added to the confusion. The presentation will work through the critical thinking and understanding of business process, system Lifecycle and data lifecycle needed to successfully validate a system for its intended use.
