qualification after repair

what happens after an analytical instrument has been repaired - can it simply go back into use or does the repair need to be qualified?

as shown in an FDA 483 citation referenced in the compliance watch section of our v:kit january 2006 newsletter, many regulated laboratories are coming to realise that providing documented evidence that a repair has not impacted the operational performance of their analytical instruments in now a must.

nlg's qualification after repair service is an ideal answer to this requirement.

the modular nature of our qualification tests enable just the repaired module or functionality to be qualified. the flexibility of the service means that qualifications can be ordered in the following ways:

1. full breakdown cover plus qualification after repair
nlg service perform the repair and them immediately qualify the repair

2. qualification after repair
customer or other service providers performs the repair and nlg service qualify the repair

each laboratory will also need an SOP that describes their approach to qualification after repair - nlg analytical can help to define the contents of this document with recommendations of which tests should be used to qualify specified repairs.
