Good documentation practice and data integrity Flashcards
Steps in a documentation system complying with GMP
- Document what you do
- Do what you document
- Keep records to prove that the SOPs are followed
- Improve the process continually guided by PIC/S GMP standard/quality policy
What does ALCOA stand for?
A: Attributable L: Legible C: Contemporaneous O: Original A: Accurate
How long should records be kept/retained?
Batch manufacturing records: 1 year after batch expiry
Investigational medicinal products: 5 years after clinical trial
What is an SOP in an instructional document?
Document describing the 5Ws and 1H of procedures
What is a record in evidential document?
Document providing evidence of actions taken to demonstrate compliance such as:
- Temperature/RH monitoring records
- Pest Control Records
- Cleaning Records
- Batch Manufacturing records
- Others such as records of QC, starting materials and distribution
What is a report in evidential documents, and what are some of its components?
Document capturing conduct of studies, projects or investigations together with results, conclusions and recommendations, such as:
- Stability testing reports
- Process Validation reports
- OOS reports
- IQA reports
- CAPA reports
What is pharmaceutical data integrity?
Degree to which pharmaceutical data are ALCOA
What is pharmaceutical data?
Include all original records (raw and metadata) generated during GMP activity and subsequent transformation for complete reconstruction of GMP activity, covers evidential and instructional documents
What is critical pharmaceutical data?
Mass of APIs, volume of solvents, batch manufacturing records, analytical results, chromatograms, stability testing reports
What is raw data?
Original records retained either in paper or electronic format
What is meta data?
Attributes describing data and providing context to better understand pharmaceutical data
What comprises a computerised system?
- Hardware and software
- Includes associated people, 3rd party suppliers and service providers
- Customised computerised systems (MRPS, LIMS)
Objectives of computerised systems validation:
It ensure:
- Accuracy
- Consistency
- Reliability
of the Computerised system
What are some examples of intentional falsification?
- Tampering with system clock
- Switching off/tampering with audit trails
- Injections and sequences of HPLC system not documented
- Chromatograms and analytical record/CoA do not match
What are the requirements in periodic audit trail review by manufacturer?
- All Original data and records
- Any modification of data
- Date and time stamps of all actions
- Identify of operators performing such actions
