The manufacturer has the flexibility to identify products and its related documentation by whatever means they describe in their procedure(s). Unique control numbers can be used to prevent mix-ups during validation efforts, product ID, test scripts id, etc. The control number is used for all unique documentation requirements related to products, raw material, component, devices, SOPs, validation documents, etc. The traceability requirement should not be confused with the tracking regulation under 21 CFR 821. The tracking regulation requires certain devices to be tracked to the end-user or patient through the entire distribution process. Components of a device or drug product subject to traceability requirements must be identified with a control number where appropriate. Manufacturers must define which documents, test scripts, components, products, equipment, etc are to be identified with control numbers and provide justification for those that are not identified with control numbers. More details on specific traceability matrix can be found in: 21 CFR 211 Section 211.84 of the US-American GMP regulations for manufacturers of drug products lays down requirements for testing and approval or rejection of components for drug manufacturing. httpss://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=211.84 For medical devices, the 21 CFR 820.50 – Purchasing Controls lays down requirements for suppliers’ qualification httpss://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?CFRPart=820&showFR=1&subpartNode=21:8.0.1.1.12.5 Also, the acceptance section of the 21 CFR part 820.80 httpss://www.fda.gov/files/drugs/published/Materials-System–Basic-CGMP-Requirements.pdf Referenceshttpss://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=225.1 httpss://www.fda.gov/media/94074/download httpss://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=225.1 httpss://ispe.org/publications/guidance-documents/gamp-5 httpss://www.fda.gov/media/94074/download httpss://www.fda.gov/media/94074/download httpss://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=225.1 httpss://ispe.org/publications/guidance-documents/gamp-5 For medical devices, the 21 CFR 820.65 – Traceability controls lay down requirements for product and quality data traceability httpss://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=820.65 Related topics and resources:Validation Plan, Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification, Performance Qualifications, Component Qualification, Traceability Matrix, Ppk, Control Charts, Cpk, User Requirements, Functional Requirement Specifications, GAMP5, risk assessment |
