The Data Quality Concept – A New Challenge for Quality Experts
A new challenge in Data Quality is approaching. The fourth industrial revolution (Pharma 4.0™) is the beginning of the “Smart Facility” era, where digitalization and automation will combine to reach very complex applications and life cycles. In this brand-new framework, Quality Experts will face the challenge of rethinking their roles and redesigning the Quality Systems of their pharmaceutical companies based on the concepts of Data Quality.

Particle Measuring Systems software solutions are NOT impacted by the recently discovered Java Apache Log4j vulnerability.
Classification and Qualification Commonly Asked Questions
Classification limits are typically only used as a baseline during data collection for a new facility and EM program. After 6 months, it is a good time to do your data analysis and determine how to adjust alert and action based on your actual data.
EU GMP Annex 1 Commonly Asked Questions
Particle Measuring Systems believes that in the long run the periodic re-evaluation of the EM program will be enforced by authorities, but at the moment it seems the existence of an EM program is enough.
21 CFR Part 11 and Going Paperless Commonly Asked Questions
The original raw data is composed of the data and information stored in the system that generates the report. In your case, the computerized system is the raw data source that generates the printout and therefore, the raw data contained in this system must be available for data accuracy control.
Intel Case Study: Ultrapure Water UPW Contamination Control / 20 nm Particle Counting
Glen Slayter, Intel and Dan Rodier, Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) presented this paper at the 2020 Ultrapure Micro event. This Intel case study discusses the benefits and challenges of monitoring particles in ultrapure water (UPW) down to 20 nm. The presentation was the recipient of the #UPM2020 best presentation award. Only Particle Measuring Systems has proven and […]
FMEA Commonly Asked Questions
When you perform your own FMEA, not only should you rank each value for probability, severity and detection, you should provide a rationale for choosing each value. Regulatory authorities need to understand your scientific rationale for the value chosen.
