Background reading
Qualifying a temperature monitoring system
Installation checks, functional tests including alarm and failure modes, and a performance period under routine use — plus the software validation that sits underneath.
What a continuous temperature monitoring system must do
Capture at an appropriate interval, alarm reliably, store data securely with an audit trail, and keep working through power and network failures.
Computerised system validation for monitoring and mapping software
Software that produces GxP records must be validated for its intended use: requirements, risk assessment, testing, audit trails, access control and change control.
