Warning Letter: Lack of controls and audit trails (ucm1048180)

The [redacted] data acquisition system for the [redacted] UV/Visible spectrophotometers allows your analysts to modify, overwrite, and delete original raw data files. The spectrophotometers are used for dissolution testing of finished product, stability samples, and process and method validation studies. All laboratory personnel were given roles as [redacted] Managers, which allowed them to modify, delete, and overwrite results files. This system also does not include an audit trail or any history of revisions that would record any modification or deletion of raw data or files. Your laboratory computer system lacks necessary controls to ensure that data is protected from tampering, and it also lacks audit trail capabilities to detect data that could be potentially compromised.”
