Audits


We conduct online internal and external audits as well as Mock audits. We prepare your employees for such audits with authorities and notified bodies under realistic conditions.

We instruct suppliers and service providers and show them which requirements they have to fulfill in a regulated industry.

We comply to GAMP® 5 - 2. Edition and the requirements of the FDA with MDSAP and QSIT considering the specific standards as well as the regulatories and directives of the EU.

We also carry out audits in accordance with ISO 27001 with regard to ISMS (Information Security Management Systems).

Industries

We consult and train our costumers online in the industries pharmacy, biotechnology, and medical technology.

Pharmaceutical Industry

We train and consult online pharmaceutical customers regarding CSV and GxP based on GAMP® 5 - 2nd Edition. We help you to validate your production and business processes as well as the related systems.

Depending on the systems we coach and consult online your employees regarding the validation of applications and the qualification of IT infrastructures. Even though you outsource your IT Infrastructures to an IT provider i.e., cloud services.

We are glad to support your QA team by reviewing documents, maintaining your document management system (DMS) and creating standard operating procedures (SOPs), forms and templates.

Biotechnology


Not all biotechnological companies manage the transition from a GLP to a GMP company. We help you with internet coaching and internet consulting to change from a laboratory view to the mode of operation of a company with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

For example to bring together a LIMS (Laboratory Information System) with a MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to create an integrated network and ensure effective production in accordance with
GMP requirements.
Medical technology

Customers in the medical technical industry most follow ISO 13485:2016 for quality management systems (QMS) and ISO 14971:2019 for risk management systems (RMS), as well as the directives and regulations of the EWG council regarding MDD (Medical Device Directive) or better yet, MDR (Medical Device Regulation) and IVD (In-vitro Diagnostics) with IVDD and IVDR.

We consult and support our customers
via internet regarding those topics and the verification of medical devices and their software. Thereby the IEC 62304 Edition 1.1 and if applicable the IEC 82304:2016 are the basis. 

Moreover, we can assist you in considering related processes and systems regarding CSV at your company and the related documention.

This is recommended in the GAMP® 5 guide document with the 2nd edition, which was also co-authored by the FDA and European regulatory authorities (EU and UK). Not only the verification of medical devices and their software, but also the validation of the business and operational process and their computerized systems for the procurement of raw materials, production and distribution of medical devices and their software are now in focus.
We also provide the EC REP within the EU and CH REP for Switzerland regarding medical devices.
