21 CFR Part 11
Electronic Records & Signatures
Supported by the platform

Requires that electronic records used to meet FDA requirements be trustworthy and equivalent to paper records.

§11.10(a)Validation of systems to ensure accuracy, reliability and consistent intended performance.
§11.10(b)Accurate and complete copies of records in human-readable and electronic form.
§11.10(d)Limiting system access to authorized individuals.
§11.10(e)Secure, computer-generated, time-stamped audit trails.
§11.50Electronic signatures with printed name, date/time and meaning of signature.
§11.70Linking electronic signatures to their respective electronic records.
How DROME supports this requirement

Immutable audit trail with cryptographic signing, role-based access control and electronic signatures linked to each record, with the documentation for your validation.

What does 21 CFR Part 11 require for electronic records?

Part 11 requires validated systems, accurate and complete copies of records, access limited to authorized individuals, time-stamped audit trails (§11.10) and electronic signatures linked to their records (§11.50 and §11.70). DROME provides these controls and the documentation for validation, which remains the customer's responsibility.

21 CFR Part 211
Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP)
Supported by the platform

Establishes minimum requirements for methods, facilities, and controls used in manufacture, processing, packaging, and storage of drug products.

§211.68Automatic, mechanical or electronic equipment used for production or record-keeping shall be calibrated, inspected, and checked according to written procedures.
§211.100Written procedures for production and process control, with any deviation recorded and justified.
§211.142Storage under appropriate conditions of temperature, humidity and light.
How DROME supports this requirement

Automated calibration tracking, deviation management with CAPA workflows, and complete warehousing condition records with sub-minute granularity.

What does 21 CFR Part 211 require for storage and equipment?

Part 211 requires automatic equipment to be calibrated and checked under written procedures (§211.68), deviations to be recorded and justified (§211.100) and drug products to be stored under appropriate temperature, humidity and light (§211.142). DROME records storage conditions and tracks calibrations and deviations.

USP <1079>
Risks and Mitigation Strategies for the Storage and Transportation of Finished Drug Products
Supported by the platform

Guidance on reducing risk in the storage and transport of finished drug products, including temperature monitoring and mapping, so identity, strength, quality and purity are maintained.

Temperature MappingDocumented temperature distribution studies for all storage areas.
Monitoring DevicesCalibrated devices with alarm capabilities and continuous logging.
Excursion ResponseDocumented procedures for responding to temperature excursions.
Data IntegritySecure, computer-generated audit trails with restricted access.
How DROME supports this requirement

Automated temperature mapping reports, continuous calibrated monitoring with configurable alarms, and documented excursion response workflows.

What does USP <1079> recommend for storage and transport?

USP <1079> guides risk reduction in the storage and transport of finished drug products through temperature mapping, calibrated monitoring devices and documented excursion response. DROME produces mapping reports, monitors continuously and records every excursion.

FDA Guidance
Computer Software Assurance
Supported by the platform

FDA guidance for production and quality system software. Assurance effort scales with the risk of each function, with less scripted paperwork.

Intended useDefine the intended use of each software function.
Risk-based approachAssurance effort scaled to the risk a function failure poses to product quality and patient safety.
Assurance activitiesTest method chosen by risk: scripted testing for high-risk functions, unscripted testing for the rest.
RecordsEnough documentation to show the assurance activities were performed.
How DROME supports this requirement

DROME provides a risk assessment of its software functions and supplier test evidence you can reuse in your own assurance activities.

What changes with the FDA Computer Software Assurance guidance?

The guidance calls for risk-based assurance: high-risk functions get scripted testing and the rest can use unscripted testing, with enough records to show what was done. DROME provides a risk assessment of its functions and test evidence the customer can reuse.
