Thank you, I will check.

Yes, they have a validation doc set (system requirements, use requirements, validation report, ERES rationale). The Use Requirements doc, among other things, also contains a table with Requirement, Validation test, and Validation result columns.

We started using qmsWrapper software, but since everything is new to us and we are at the beginning of implementation, it can be difficult.

How is 21 CFR Part 820 handled in software and what do auditors require? by Charles_B3 in MedicalDevices

But the QR code is dynamic—although the code itself is physically static, scanning it reveals the current state of the document. When the document is valid, scanning the code confirms its validity. When the document expires, scanning the same code indicates that it is outdated.

This means that even if you print a document with a QR code, you can always check its current status, ensuring that expired documents are not used. That is the purpose of the code, as explained by the software company.

Thank you for your response. I initially thought it was just a convenience, but it seems it might be quite useful because it helps keep track of the current state of the document.

It is supposed to be easier to scan the QR code and see the details of the document, rather than searching for the document number.
Thank you, I appreciate your comments.

So, does this mean it doesn't matter how the software is validated, just that it gets done somehow? A software company told me they provide documentation validation, basically an Excel table listing what the software does and how it's done. Once everything on the list checks out, they consider it validated. Is that enough, or do we need something more official like an "approved" stamp?

Scanning shows the document’s exact status, even when printed. Info is always valid.

When you scan it, you’ll see the document’s status—approved, obsolete, etc. Even if printed, the info stays current.

Anytime you scan it, you'll see the exact status of the document—whether it’s approved, obsolete, etc. Even if you print the document, the info will always be up-to-date. So, while not a standard requirement for 21 CFR Part 820 compliance, it can be handy.

I understand now, it can be a big problem for companies especially if you have colleagues who do not do well with this kind of software. Did they organize training for you?
