    “Your firm failed to exercise appropriate controls over computer or related systems to assure that only authorized personnel institute changes in master production and control records, or other records (21 CFR 211.68(b)).

    Specifically, your high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) data acquisition software, TotalChrom®, did not have sufficient controls to prevent the deletion or alteration of raw data files. During the inspection, the investigator observed that the server that maintains electronic raw data for HPLC and GC analyses (the J drive) contains a folder named “Test,” and that chromatographic methods, sequences, and injection data saved into this folder can be deleted by analysts. The investigator also found that data files initially created and stored in the “Test” folder had been deleted, and that back-up files are overwritten [redacted].

    In addition, because no audit trail function was enabled for the “Test” folder, your firm was unable to verify what types of injections were made, who made them, or the date or time of deletion. The use of audit trails for computerized analytical instrumentation is essential to ensure the integrity and reliability of the electronic data generated.”
