Risk-based validation

Evidence aligned with intended use and operational risk

FlaskTrack’s supplier package is designed to help customers focus validation on functions that can affect product quality, patient safety, data integrity, regulated records, and critical laboratory decisions.

Intended-Use Definition Define the laboratory processes, record types, signatures, users, integrations, and regulated decisions placed in scope.

Risk Assessment Prioritize assurance according to impact on data integrity, product quality, patient safety, and regulated operations.

Requirements Traceability Connect intended use, product requirements, risks, controls, verification evidence, deviations, and release decisions.

Supplier documentation

A structured evidence package for customer qualification

Documentation is organized to support supplier assessment, validation planning, configuration approval, customer testing, release assessment, periodic review, migration, and system retirement.

System Description Product scope, architecture, major components, hosting model, data flows, boundaries, dependencies, and regulated capabilities.

Part 11 Control Matrix Map applicable Part 11 provisions to FlaskTrack controls, customer procedures, evidence, ownership, and identified gaps.

Requirements and Specifications Document product requirements, compliance controls, functional behavior, configuration, security, and record lifecycle expectations.

Verification Evidence Requirements-based tests, negative tests, integration coverage, defect records, deviations, review evidence, and release qualification.

Release Evidence Index Identify approved requirements, tests, known issues, changes, migrations, dependencies, security updates, and release authorization.

Supplier Qualification Packet Provide company, quality, security, lifecycle, hosting, support, continuity, data handling, and audit-response information.

Customer implementation

Establish and approve the validated configuration

Supplier evidence supports—but does not replace—the customer’s validation of its intended use, configured workflows, permissions, records, signatures, integrations, procedures, and operating environment.

✔ Release-impact assessment and regression-testing guidance
✔ Validation summary and go-live authorization template

Controlled product lifecycle

From requirements through operation and retirement

FlaskTrack’s validation approach follows the full computerized-system lifecycle rather than treating testing as a one-time release activity.

Plan and Assess Define intended use, compliance scope, requirements, architecture, risks, data flows, supplier responsibilities, and assurance strategy.

Build and Review Apply controlled development, code review, secure design, configuration management, migration review, and documented changes.

Verify and Approve Execute risk-based automated and manual tests, resolve deviations, review evidence, assess residual risk, and authorize release.

Operate and Monitor Manage incidents, support, access, backups, vulnerabilities, changes, releases, continuity, and customer communications.

Review Periodically Reassess validation state, access, incidents, changes, audit trails, backup recovery, supplier performance, and open risks.

Archive and Retire Preserve records, metadata, signatures, audit history, readability, retrieval, migration evidence, and customer exit requirements.

Operational assurance

Maintain the validated state after go-live

Ongoing control of releases, configuration, access, incidents, backups, integrations, records, and supplier evidence is necessary to maintain a defensible validated state.

Change and Release Control Assess product changes, customer impact, migration requirements, regression scope, documentation updates, and implementation timing.

Security and Access Review Review roles, permissions, authentication, API keys, administrator activity, vulnerabilities, dependencies, and security events.

Recovery Qualification Document backup controls, restoration testing, recovery objectives, continuity procedures, test results, and corrective actions.

Periodic Review Confirm that intended use, configuration, records, procedures, controls, supplier status, and residual risks remain acceptable.

Shared validation responsibility

Supplier evidence plus customer-specific assurance

FlaskTrack is responsible for its product lifecycle, technical controls, supplier documentation, hosting, release evidence, and support. Customers remain responsible for applicability, intended use, configuration, local procedures, user qualification, acceptance testing, data migration, record review, retention, and continued oversight.

The availability of vendor documentation does not eliminate the need for customer validation or guarantee compliance in every configuration or use case.
