Mapping Study Deviation Report

Deviation from protocol, impact on study validity, and approval.

Purpose

Records a deviation from an approved validation or mapping protocol during execution: what deviated, why, the immediate action, the assessment of impact on the validity of the study or qualification, the decision (accept / repeat / fail), CAPA and approvals.

What it covers

How to complete it

  1. 1.Raise at the time the deviation is identified; number DEV-YY-NNN and reference the protocol and step.
  2. 2.Describe factually; attach evidence; state the immediate action (for example study continued / paused / sensor replaced).
  3. 3.The Validation Lead assesses impact; QA decides whether the study remains valid, must be partially repeated, or has failed.
