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
- Authorisation
How to complete it
- 1.Raise at the time the deviation is identified; number DEV-YY-NNN and reference the protocol and step.
- 2.Describe factually; attach evidence; state the immediate action (for example study continued / paused / sensor replaced).
- 3.The Validation Lead assesses impact; QA decides whether the study remains valid, must be partially repeated, or has failed.
- 4.Record any change required to the protocol for future studies and the CAPA reference.
Before you use it
- Replace every square-bracket token, starting with [LABORATORY NAME], [ADDRESS] and [EFFECTIVE DATE]. The full token list is in GD-01 Read Me First.
- Have the content technically reviewed against how your laboratory actually works, then approved by the responsible manager before it becomes a controlled document.
- Update the Word fields after editing so the table of contents and page numbers are correct: select all, then press F9.
- Record the document in your own document register and set its review date.
