Design Validation

Validation during the design phase is essential to ensure that medical devices are manufactured using automated processes that meet safety and performance standards. This process includes developing and executing documents like the Functional Design Specification (FDS) and the User Requirement Specification (URS), which outline the system's functions and user needs, respectively.

A proper validation procedure in this phase requires careful planning and detailed analysis of potential risks. During the machine implementation phase, Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ) tests are conducted to ensure that the system has been installed correctly, operates as expected and maintains reliable performance over time.

Software Validation

Within the medical and pharmaceutical industries, the realm of software is increasingly vital as many devices and processes are managed by computer systems. Software validation is thus imperative to ensure the integrity, safety and reliability of computerized systems used in production and quality control processes.

The software validation procedure includes various activities, such as the creation and execution of system and acceptance tests, as well as compliance verification with CFR 21 regulations (Code of Federal Regulations - Title 21). Developing a well-structured Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) is crucial for identifying and addressing any defects or issues within the software.
