Validation of CAQ.Net

During the qualification and validation of the CAQ.Net standard software, we support you together with our partners throughout the planning and implementation of all validation activities – for instance by providing important technical documentation such as test protocols and checklists. As one of the most experienced and long-standing providers of CAQ and Quality Management Software solutions for the life science sector, we have profound expertise in the area of software validation / CSV (Computerized System Validation) and have already supported several of the most renowned companies in the medical device industry and pharmaceuticals throughout the successful implementation of our solutions.

Technical Features of the Software

Whether electronic signature, single sign-on, and configurable security settings or data validation by means of access and change logging with audit trail – CAQ.Net’s scope of functions includes all technical features that are required for the use as a fully validated software solution in the regulated sector.

For the use of CAQ.Net in the cloud as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), we have taken appropriate measures to enable you to validate within this scenario as well. These include a systematic procedure for carrying out updates and upgrades, ensuring a staging environment for configuration changes and revalidations as well as a structured, tried-and-tested procedure for planning and implementing releases. This enables us to implement the measures required for such systems within the regulatory framework in a way that is tailored to meet your needs.

Frequently asked questions about software validation

The U.S. FDA defines software validation as "confirmation by examination and provision of objective evidence that software specifications conform to user needs and intended uses, and that the particular requirements implemented through software can be consistently fulfilled." Thus, software validation should be understood as a documented process to consistently and reproducibly ensure that a computer system does exactly what it was designed to do.

Almost all companies in the life science sector (medical devices, medical technology or pharmaceuticals) are obliged to validate the software products they use. Software validation is a component of the Quality System Regulation issued in 1996 under Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 820 and is addressed in more detail, for example, in FDA 21 CFR Part 820.70 (Production and Process Controls) or FDA 21 CFR Part 11.10 (Controls for Closed Systems). Corresponding requirements can be found in ISO 13485:2016 Chapter 4.1.6 (\"Software Validation\") and the relevant GMP guidelines and GAMP regulations. If you work in accordance with any of these regulations, CAQ.Net must be validated.
