The records in a lab – the logbooks for chemicals, reagent and calibration solutions, for sample preparation, for instrument maintenance and calibration, for quality checks – all are time oriented. This gives window of cause-and-effect or coincidence that can give clues. The sum of these, plus the symptoms of the non-compliance can point out the likely root cause.
Background:
An out-of-compliance under GLP or ISO 17025 is a discreet and specific event. Its occurrence has major consequences for the laboratory operation. Can the incident and its timing give clues to that caused the non-compliance?
Course Objectives:
Tracking down the cause of a non-compliance can be a time-consuming and difficult task. But in a compliant laboratory there are numerous records covering everything done within the laboratory. These records are a coordinated and interlocking system that can be a key tool in finding certain root causes. This webinar will describe the approach and some examples of how to do this.
