File location independence, authenticity of data files, and the elimination of data redundancy are just a few of the benefits of file replication based storage system.  In addition, replication based storage systems can be used effectively for archiving, backup and restore, and disaster recovery as well.

For legacy instrument data systems (that do not meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements), FRMS provides an additional layer of compliance, thereby allowing these systems to be used in a fully compliant mode.

  • Lack of Compliance Features (Legacy IDS) 
    - Security:             Instrument data files are stored on local hard drives
                                 may be easily accessible to unauthorized
                                 individuals.
    - Audit Trail:         There are no audit trail of changes made to the file,
                                 even when made by authorized personnel for legacy
                                 instrument data systems.
    - eSignatures:         There is no provision of electronic signatures.
    - Version Control:  There is no provision to create a controlled version
                                  for each modification made to these file.
  • Data Corruption and/or Data System Failure
    Data lost due to data acquisition system failure or file corruption can be minimized by use of FRMS, as data being acquired are mirrored and replicated in real time.
  • Damaged reputation
    Using instrument data systems to acquire and process clinical data that are not completely validated, in a non-compliant mode can damage your company's reputation and even delay FDA's approval process.
  • Productivity Loss 
    Legal costs and fines, damaged reputation issues all negatively affect your efficiency and the efficiency of your employees.
