https://lnkd.in/gYhY2ApS FDA is issuing this guidance to provide recommendations on computer software assurance for computers and automated data processing systems used as part of medical device production or the quality system. This guidance: • Describes “computer software assurance” as a risk-based approach to establish confidence in the automation used for production or quality systems, and identifies where additional rigor may be appropriate; and • Describes various methods and testing activities that may be applied to establish computer software assurance and provide objective evidence to fulfill regulatory requirements, such as computer software validation requirements in quality system obligations, including requirements in 21 CFR Part 820 (hereafter referred to as “Part 820”).2 1 This guidance has been prepared by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) in consultation with the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Office of Combination Products (OCP), and Office of Inspections and Investigations (OII).

✔️ Understanding 21 CFR Part 11 – The Backbone of Electronic Data Integrity ➡️ In today’s digital pharma environment, paperless systems are everywhere but with automation comes accountability. That’s where 21 CFR Part 11 comes in. ✅ What is 21 CFR Part 11? It’s an FDA regulation that defines the criteria for electronic records and electronic signatures to be considered trustworthy, reliable, and equivalent to paper records. ✅ Key Requirements: Access control – only authorized users can create or modify records. Audit trails – every change must be time-stamped and traceable. Electronic signatures – must be unique, secure, and verifiable. Data integrity – records must be accurate, complete, and protected from alteration. ✅ Why it matters: Ensures regulatory compliance in GxP systems. Builds trust in digital records and automation. Reduces paper dependency while maintaining data authenticity. 📌 21 CFR Part 11 isn’t just about software validation - it’s about maintaining data integrity, traceability, and trust in a digital pharma world, medical devices, and food products.

Recently, the FDA issued a warning letter to a small OTC drug manufacturer. The violations weren't exotic. Shared admin passwords. Skipped stability testing. Undocumented batch rework. But here's what matters: These are not isolated mistakes. They're systematic patterns. The lab software had a single admin account with shared passwords. When four assay tests failed, they accepted the fifth passing result. No investigation. The FDA's response? "Systemic quality unit failure." Five compliance red flags revealed: → Admin-by-default configurations → Test-into-compliance patterns → Formulation changes without revalidation → Paused stability programs → Rework without protocols The lesson: Modern GMP software should make these violations structurally impossible - not just traceable. When Electronic Batch Records and validated systems enforce SOPs automatically, compliance becomes engineering, not enforcement. Is your quality system preventing these patterns, or just documenting them after they happen?
