Paperless
Technology
With
ProCalV5, your organization can increase productivity and efficiencies
in your operating procedures with our Paperless Calibration feature.
Calibration and other Data that is collected in the field can be entered
into ProCalV5 directly, with the option of this information then being
viewed later for reporting purposes.
Since
ProCalV5 is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, electronic signatures are seamlessly
done through the paperless environment enabling any organization with
FDA requirements to efficiently comply by taking advantage of new
technology. The ProCalV5 Mobile Workstation utility also allows any
technician in the field the ability to use ProCalV5 on a portable
lab top and do calibrations without the hassles of paper.

Defined for Discrete Devices, Loops or Systems
Why Should My Organization
Calibrate?
Throughout the world measurements are made daily in virtually
every industry. The results of these measurements are used to make
decisions that could ultimately affect people’s lives. In many industries,
including the pharmaceutical and other life sciences, measurements
are taken to ensure product integrity. The certification and calibration
of instrumentation, combined with a robust calibration management
system helps achieve product integrity throughout the production processes.
Good Engineering & Business Practice along with Regulatory
Standards dictate routine Calibration. Such reasons include considerations
for the fact that instrumentation will wear and settings drift, conditions
that can have a negative impact on Performance & Quality instrument,
as well as the fact that ultimately, calibration is required by FDA,
ISO and other Regulatory Authorities.
Why
Should My Organization Go Paperless?
The goal of any organization is to have its employees
work efficiently as possible, while effectively running the entire
business process. The fact of the matter is, paper based calibrations
are costly, and do not increase effectiveness and efficiency.
Why Paper Calibrations are Costly include;
-
Quality
Managers will Spend over 35% of Their Time in Document Control
-
Management Review Cycle Times are typically measured
in weeks not hours and Critical Documents can be Misplaced
-
A
Bottleneck for Improvement - You can’t improve what you can’t
measure, Quality Engineers Spend over 15% of their time Researching
Performance Metrics
-
With
Paper Programs, Technician Productivity is typically only 3
to 6 Calibrations Per Day
-
CAPA;
- Paper Based Systems lack closed loop controls making it difficult
to ensure corrective actions have been implemented
Normal Planned Maintenance helps assure resource availability
and reliability, but calibration does more.
-
Calibration is More Technically Rigorous
-
Communication & Control of Acceptable Process
or Device Specifications is Critical
-
Subtle Performance Variations Directly Impact Product
Quality
-
Risk
of Non-Compliance, Quality Excursions and Civil Liability is
Higher than with Other PM Activities
-
Although an Improvement, CMMS (Computerized Maintenance
Management Software) Solutions are not Paperless for Calibration
Activities
