  16. Specifying a Paperless Recorder Defining the Requirements “Closed Systems” Electronic Recording

  17. Closed System The Regulation: Subpart A, Section 11.3 (b), (4) “Closed System” means an environment in which system access is controlled by persons who are responsible for the content of electronic records that are on the system. The Specification: The recorder will be installed in a Closed System environment as defined by 21 CFR Part 11. The recorder shall at minimum meet the requirements of Subpart B, Section 11.10. Electronic Recording

  18. 21 CFR Part 11- Closed System The Regulation: Subpart B, Section 11.10: Controls for Closed Systems “……to ensure the authenticity, integrity, and when appropriate the confidentiality of electronic records, and can ensure that the signer cannot repudiate the signed record as not genuine.” The Specification: Data shall be time and date stamped in a digitally encrypted format that ensures data authenticity and integrity in a consistently accurate fashion. Encrypted records shall include CRC error checking that will detect alteration or falsification of data. Electronic Recording

  19. 21 CFR Part 11 - Closed System The Regulation: Section 11.10 (b) “The ability to generate accurate and complete copies of records in both human readable and electronic form suitable for inspection, review, and copying by the agency (FDA).” The Specification: Data Analysis Software shall directly convert encrypted records to human readable form and create reliable and accurate electronic and human readable copies. Tools may permit the addition of annotations; but, not modification or deletion. Electronic Recording

  20. 21 CFR Part 11 - Closed System The Regulation: Section 11.10 (d) “Procedures and controls shall limit system access to authorized individuals.” The Specification: Electronic Recorders shall be equipped with security functions that limit access to authorized personnel. The security system shall retain operator profiles with established permissions and shall identify each person that accesses the recorder. Electronic Recording

  21. 21 CFR Part 11 - Closed System The Regulation: Section11.10 (e) “Use of secure, computer-generated, time-stamped audit trails to independently record the date and time of operator actions that create, modify, or delete electronic records. Record changes shall not obscure previously recorded information. Such audit trail documentation shall be retained at least as long as that required for the subject electronic records and shall be available for agency review and copying.” The Specification: All operator actions, process events, system diagnostics, alarms, etc. shall be logged to the audit trail by the recording system.
