Computer Software Assurance: Gamp 5

This document discusses a paradigm shift towards a more risk-based approach to computer software assurance. It summarizes key concepts from GAMP 5 guidance and discusses how regulators and industry are working to streamline assurance practices. The FDA is exploring using risk determinations and examples of direct patient safety impact to provide clarity around software assurance expectations. The goal is to move the medical device industry towards more value-driven, patient-focused approaches through critical thinking, risk-based methods, and improved manufacturer capabilities with automation.

FDA CDRH
Case for Quality

“…the FDA is working with stakeholders—industry, health


care providers, patients, payers, and investors—to build a
strong Case for Quality.”
https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/quality-and-compliance-medical-devices/case-quality

Computer Systems Validation identified as a major pain


point and barrier for moving to better, more efficient
technology.

Computer Software Assurance Considerations and Approach

The Quality System regulations allow for a manufacturer to apply a critical


risk-based approach to their assurance activities. Establishing the intended
use of the system, software, or feature is the foundation for determining
the direct impact to device safety, device quality, or quality system
integrity. Furthermore, FDA is interested in the situations when a failure to
fulfill the intended use of the system, software, or feature, directly
impacting device safety and device quality, results in direct patient safety
risk.

Key Take Aways


Why Now? Defining Risk
• Clearly define “intended use”.
Create a Paradigm Shift…
• Focus on the “direct impact on device safety and
• Streamline with value-driven,
device quality”, and does it result in “patient/user
patient focused approaches 80%
safety risk?” See examples.
• Critical thinking & risk-based 20%  LMS vs Manufacturing Equipment Software
agile approaches
Test Document • For PMA Products, CDRH is exploring using risk
• Improve manufacturer’s
capabilities with automation
% Time Spent determination to make implementation of systems
an annually reportable change no 30-Day Notice

Risk Based Assurance Strategies


Assurance Evidence Capture
• Take credit for work already done
• Use CSV tools to automate assurance activities
 Leverage existing activities and trusted supplier
data Note: FDA does not intend to review validation of
support tools.
• Use Agile test methods (e.g. unscripted testing)
when appropriate • Use electronic data capture & record creation vs
paper documentation, screen shots, etc.
• Mitigate risk with downstream process controls
• Leverage continuous data and information for
monitoring and assurance

Risk Based CSV Example:


Learning Management System (LMS)

A medical device firm applies Risk Based Validation to an off the shelf LMS. Qualifying the vendor
then applying risk to the feature level allows for much less documented verification activities.

Testing
Low Risk Features overdue training lists, curricula assignments.
