This document discusses the validation of legacy systems. It begins by defining a legacy system as one that is currently in use but no longer satisfies regulatory expectations. It then outlines common issues with legacy systems and relevant regulatory standards. The objectives of validating a legacy system are to ensure it properly supports processes and remains compliant. The benefits include assurance that the system is fit for purpose and enhances regulatory compliance. Finally, it presents a typical remediation process flow that includes scoping the system, gap and risk analyses, planning, specification, qualification, reporting, and maintaining the validated state.
Migration of form based legacy systems towards service-oriented computing is a challenging task, requiring the adaptation of the legacy interface to the interaction paradigm of Web services. In this paper, a wrapping methodology is proposed to make interactive functionalities of legacy systems accessible as Web Services. The wrapper that is used for interacting with the legacy system acts as an interpreter of a Finite State Automaton that describes the Model of the Interaction between user and legacy system. This model is obtained by black box reverse engineering techniques. A migration process and a software architecture that allow a functionality of a legacy system to be exported as a web service are presented in the paper.

Computer System Validation - The Validation Master PlanWolfgang Kuchinke
Computer System Validation (CSV) is the process used to ensure and document that a computerbased system is operating according to predefined requirements. CSV is necessary when replacing paper records, like
Case Report Forms for clinical trials, with an electronic system within the highly regulated data zone that impacts public health and safety. Necessary validation documents are for example the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), which outline how the computer system should be used. Here, we describe in detail the System Validation Master Plan, the most important document in Computer System Validation. In contains topics, like: Validation Policy, Definition of Validation, Rules and Regulations in CSV, Legal basis, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, FDA Guidance for industry, ICH Guideline GCP, Annex 11 EU-GMP, Validation Philosophy, Organisation validation document, Audit Reports, Organisation guidelines, Organisation quality management handbook, etc.
The steps of the Validation Life Cycle are: 1. System Specification, 2. System Classification, 3. Validation Planning, 4. Establishing of the validated state, 5. Maintaining the validated state, 6. System Retirement.
Risk assessment for computer system validationBangaluru
A risk assessment is a process to identify potential hazards and analyze what could happen if a hazard occurs.
Computer system validation (sometimes called computer validation or CSV) is the process of documenting that a computer system meets a set of defined system requirements.
In systems engineering and software engineering, requirements analysis encompasses those tasks that go into determining the needs or conditions to meet for a new or altered product or project, taking account of the possibly conflicting requirements of the various stakeholders, analyzing, documenting, validating and managing software or system requirements.
IEC 62304 is the international standard that defines software development lifecycle requirements for medical device software. The standard was developed from the perspective that product testing alone is insufficient to ensure patient safety when software is involved. The standard requires all aspects of the software development life cycle to be scrutinized.

In this presentation from IVT's Qualifying and Validating Cloud and Virtualized IT Infrastructures, Chris Wubbolt and John Patterson focus on current trends in cloud computing environments, including aspects of cloud computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers that may be of interest to US Food and Drug Administration investigators during an FDA inspection. Important compliance related points to consider for software vendors as they shift to becoming SaaS providers are discussed. The presentation also reviews the pros and cons of cloud computing from a business and compliance perspective, including differences between traditional computing environments and private/public clouds. Examples of issues to consider when using cloud computing environments and SaaS providers are also discussed.
A brief description about second eddition of C&Q Volume 5.
"V" module of validation system obsoluted and risk based aproach described as per cGMP requiremnet.
First of a two-part article published in Pharmaceutical Technology magazine in December 2005.
Part 1 describes facility and equipment design review, validation project organization and planning, and validation master plan development.
This workshop examines the approach to Continued Process Verification and demonstrating that your product and process are operating in a state of control and continue to do so over the life of the product. Without any prior coordination, the theme was elaborated by the afternoon speakers once the conference itself was underway. The concept of “step up step down” for adjusting the level of product scrutiny both for process parameters monitoring and for sampling and testing quality attributes was explored and developed.

Executive Summary
Regulated pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies are challenged to develop manufacturing capabilities quickly and cost-effectively while at the same time safeguarding product quality and patient safety.
Validation has been an essential part of regulated industries for over 20 years, yet as the field has evolved, little has changed in the business, or manual, approach to validation.

This session from IVT's Contamination and Control Week provides an in-depth, practical look at some of the recent Warning Letters and discusses current trends.
The Validation Master Plan is a a valuable opportunity to provide an overview of your company’s validation process, including organization structure, content, and planning.
Regulatory guidelines on stability testing are mainly designed to address studies that will be applied to support NDAs. However, in any pharmaceutical development program, a number of other stability studies are also required, for example, to help select appropriate formulations and to support regulatory applications for clinical programs. This session from the Institute of Validation Technology's Stability Programs Forum outlines a number of examples of early development stability studies.

documentation providing a precise definition of
the operating environment, functionality,
hardware and software, procedures and reference
manuals associated with the legacy system
v To provide indexes to the
documentation set (i.e. by the use
of traceability matrices for
documents and user
requirements)
