Excel Spreadsheets and FDA Device Regulations
Instructor: Daniel O'Leary
Product ID: 500978
Description
The webinar begins with Excel methods to help ensure the spreadsheet produces the results you want. It explains the built in Validation tools and how to use them to prevent the user from entering incorrect data. It also explains the use of Formula Auditing to help ensure the calculations are performed correctly. Lastly, the webinar explains the use of Protection to prevent inadvertent and unauthorized changes. To satisfy the broadest interest, the webinar uses Excel 2003 to illustrate the tools.
The webinar shifts to the regulations for automated processes, found in 21 CFR §820.70(i), and explains the requirements for a validation plan. The FDA Guidance document, General Principles of Software Validation, has a section devoted to this kind of software application. The webinar explains FDA’s thinking and shows how to follow the guidance document.
Why Should you Attend
FDA Inspections are based on ensuring compliance with the regulations. Failure to comply can result in the FDA citing the company for a violation, i.e., listing it on an FDA Form 483 Inspectional Observations. The FDA may even escalate these observations to a Warning Letter.
This webinar also looks into the electronic record aspects of the spreadsheet. 21 CFR §820.180 provides General Requirements for records. Part 11 has additional requirements when these are electronic records. The requirements for electronic records and some of the issues these requirements raise will be discussed.
