READ MOREStreamlining the Switch from Minitab to JMP Customers who switch from Minitab to JMP are faced with the challenge of converting their Minitab files to JMP files. Previously, this process involved saving to an intermediary file format, such as text, and then importing the file into JMP. This is a time-consuming process, particularly when you have large numbers of files. dfPower DBMS/Copy from DataFlux (www.dataflux.com), a SAS Company, automatically converts Minitab 13 files to JMP 5 files. It performs seamless translation of all data and platform-related conversion issues. And with its batch conversion function, you can quickly and safely convert hundreds of files in just minutes. Customers who wish to convert files from Minitab to JMP now have a streamlined method for accomplishing the task. For more information, please visit the DataFlux website. READ MORE"Common Sense" Practices
and Creative Alternatives to Address 21 CFR Part 11 ![]() This article, by Ken Rapp and Ian Edmonds, originally appeared in the October 2004 issue of Pharmaceutical Formulation & Quality magazine and is reprinted with permission. Three Significant principles are at the heart of the 21 CFR Part 11 Legislation and the new guidance associated with this law. First, companies must perform a risk assessment to determine the status of computer systems and their “risk of importance” to the manufacturing and delivery to consumers and public safety according to the Guidance surrounding FDA's cGMPs for the 21st Century initiative.
Second, PC-based systems should not be capable of inadvertently overwriting files without user alerts, intervention, maintaining the original file, documenting date and time, documenting the reason for changes and authorization. Third, FDA is actively trying to encourage the industry to use technology to improve the efficiency of operations and is committed to making the Part 11 rules sensible and helpful rather than presenting an obstruction to progress.
