Overview
This webinar will address the use of the FDA, GAMP, and other applicable industry software validation models, coupled with the ISO 14971 model to structure, run, and document acceptable software validations.
The U.S. FDA has stated that software validation can only be risk-based. This applies to Software:
- As-Product
- In-Product
- In Production and Test Equipment
- The Quality System
A manufacturer is responsible to identify those risks, and take reasonable steps to address them in the software validation process. The FDA, GAMP and others provide guidance in the methodology and documentation to achieve this. Consideration of the principles in ISO 14971 can assist in providing an acceptable vehicle by which to perform and document risk-based software V&V.
