Raleigh North Carolina – Monday, February 2, 2009 – Dennis Cantellops, QA Manager for the FDA Office of Regulator Affairs, San Juan District presented “Validation of Excel Spreadsheets in a Regulated Environment” at Interphex Puerto Rico on January 29, 2009.

Many lab decisions being made based on the information in Excel spreadsheets. Excel spreadsheets can be as simple as a calculator or as complex as a custom made computerized solution. The use of Excel spreadsheets can become a regulatory nightmare if they proliferate unchecked within any organization. The FDA is aware of the usefulness of Excel spreadsheets, but expects controls to be in place to avoid wrong decisions being made based on “on-the fly” worksheets that were created for one-time use. This session addressed these concerns and offered strategies and approaches for response.

Mr. Cantellops also discussed his experience using ExcelSafe with their regulatory spreadsheets.
