| Successful
computer validation must demonstrate that the process dependent on the computer
system consistently produce a result that meets its pre-determined specifications.
Consistency is demonstrated when replicate runs fall within a pre-determined
limit of acceptability.
Fundamentals
Elements of Computer Validation:
- Document validation
plan and procedures.
- Establish acceptance
criteria (i.e. parameters, limits and ranges of components).
- Demonstrate
equipment systems are calibrated and operate properly.
- Demonstrate
that the process meets an established range of operation for multiple
runs.
- Demonstrate
that the final result of the computer process meets pre-determined characteristics.
- Demonstrate
the longevity of the equipment or process performance by challenging
the equipment/process at the limits of operating conditions for multiple
runs.
- Demonstrate
the accuracy and precision of any test method.
- Demonstrate
that the validation work has been performed as planned and the outcome
meets pre-determined specifications and the validation work has been
documented, reviewed, and approved.
