Overview:

 

In this webinar, we will delve into the critical aspects of applying computer system validation to mobile applications subject to FDA regulations. Developing the right validation strategy is crucial to ensure that systems function as intended and are maintained in a validated state throughout their entire life cycle.


We will explore key areas of focus, including security, access, and change control, and discuss the necessary documentation to create a comprehensive and compliant validation package in a cost-effective manner.


The session will concentrate on mobile applications used to process FDA-regulated data, such as data collection, analysis, transfer, and reporting. Mobile applications are relevant across various FDA-regulated company functions, including Quality Laboratories, Manufacturing, Supply Chain/Distribution, Adverse Event Reporting, and Post-Marketing Surveillance, among others.


As technology evolves, it's essential to adapt our approach to computer system validation for FDA-regulated systems, taking into account all necessary controls, whether technical or procedural. Mobile devices introduce additional complexity due to their small size, portability, and vulnerability to both physical and logical mishaps or calculated attacks.


Areas covered in the session:


  • Gain an understanding of how mobile applications should be handled when performing validation work
  • Understand the best practices for maintaining a mobile application in a validated state
  • Discuss the best practices necessary to ensure all systems, including mobile applications, are validated appropriately
  • Learn how to develop the appropriate computer validation strategy when dealing with mobile applications to ensure a good balance of cost vs. risk
  • Understand how to effectively document the process of computer system validation, and maintain current information about the various systems in your organization, as they begin to include mobile applications
  • Learn how to gain information about trends in validation of mobile applications, as industry progresses and new best practices emerge
  • Understand some of the key “pitfalls” to avoid when applying the concepts of computer system validation to mobile applications
  • Q&A
