SCADA's, and other supervisory control systems, should be Part11 compliant. Your system appears to be similar. Margaret ... [Non-text portions of this message...
Assuming a typical SCADA system, without the implementation of the e-signature, then this is a Hybrid Computer Systems. The 21 CFR Part 211 and/or Part 11...
If the prototype devices are not used in clinical trials or put on the market there is no need at all for compliance with Part 11. The missing validation work...
Good point Siegfried. I know that the parts being made are for hospital beds and helps to clamp a device to the bed. The CNC client claims he needs to be...
Hi James It looks like your question got hijacked by a SCADA discussion. In my experience with PID controllers there is no storage onto durable media nor any...
Hi Gram, Are you asking about the graphics package used to layout the artwork or the actual printers, digital or otherwise. Most shops use a commercial...

I have seen this addressed by the commonly employed UserID/password combination signature by attaching a Signature Page to the document, stating that the...
No, it is not necessary. The regulation required a signature manifestation (21 CFR 11.50) in certain areas. I believe it is the date and time of signing...
A flaw in your reasoning as I see it is the following: As you intend to sell the labelled medicine you will not be in possession of the record to prove it was...
The error, as I see it, is that this record is not electronic. ;-) Bob _____ From: 21cfrpart11@yahoogroups.com [mailto:21cfrpart11@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Jeff: I've been involved in several discussions about this item over the years. First - 21 CRF Part 11 states what needs to be displayed for an electronic...

What's the best way to write requirements for an RFP. In one regard, I don't want to give vendors too much specificity for the project because it's hush hush....
Hi Jeff, We use Master Control for e-signing and documents workflow. For our controlled documents, the signature block is removed from the document, but...
