Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP 5 ®) sets out principles and procedures that help ensure that pharmaceutical or medical device products have the required quality. GAMP 5 ® details a recognised standard for Computer System Validation (CSV).
GAMP 5 ® is both a technical subcommittee of the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) and a set of guidelines for manufacturers and users of automated or computer systems. Primarily intended for the pharmaceutical industry, GAMP 5 ® is also now being adopted as suitable guidance for the Medical Devices industry and other highly regulated industries.
One of the core principles of GAMP ® is that quality cannot be tested into a batch of product or device, but must be built into each stage of the manufacturing process.
As a result, GAMP ® covers all aspects of production; from the raw materials, facilities and equipment to the training and hygiene of staff. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are essential for processes that can affect the quality of the finished product. Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures (ERES) are also covered in GAMP 5 ®.
Life Science Industry suppliers
should follow the spirit of
GAMP 5 ®.
Supplier Audits performed by a ZES Validation Consultant
ascertain the actual level of computer system best practice.

IEC 62304 defines the life cycle requirements for medical device software. The set of processes, activities, and tasks described in this standard establishes a common framework for medical device software life cycle processes. GAMP 5 ® and IEC 62304 adopt similar approaches to achieve a compliant structure for software to safeguard patients.
If you have concerns about your current state of computer system validation, data integrity and the potential impact it could have on a patient, ZES can help.

Testimonial
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Facility: DCS CSV
"I worked with David [of Zener Engineering Services] on a project to deliver an ABB 800XA DCS system for a Blue Chip Pharmaceutical company. He was the QA lead for the supplier.
We jointly reviewed and approved a very large FAT document set in lieu of a reduced SAT and OQ. David's approach is very professional, critical, but crucially pragmatic.
I enjoyed working with him and would welcome any future opportunities to do so."
ZES answer your Computer System Validation questions.
Software Validation is the process of evaluating software during the development process and or at the end of the development process to determine whether it satisfies specified business requirements. Testing ensures that the product actually meets the client's needs and is suitable for it's intended use.
Computer System Validation (CSV) is the process of ensuring that any technology component (software or hardware) is fulfilling its purpose in line with the regulatory guidelines.
A computer system is a complete, working computer.
Computer systems include the computer along with any software and peripheral devices that are necessary to make the computer function.
Every computer system, for example, requires an operating system. Most modern 'simple' systems contain a computer system of sorts.
Automated medical devices will contain a computer system, which needs to be validated.
GAMP® stands for Good Automated Manufacturing Practice.
GAMP®5, it is in reference to a guidance document entitled GAMP®5: A Risk-Based Approach to Compliant GxP Computerized Systems

Guidance for the UK
The GxP Data Integrity guidance has a high degree of alignment with documents published by other regulators such as PIC/S, WHO, OECD (guidance and advisory documents on GLP) and EMA. It is designed to facilitate compliance through education, whilst clarifying the MHRA’s position on data integrity and the minimum expectation to achieve compliance.
