Frequently asked questions
Pharma is committed to helping you access trusted lab and pharmacy solutions, with expert help at every step of the way.
What water system types are supported in softLIMS Water System Management?
Raw water, RO (Reverse Osmosis) water, Purified Water (PW), Water for Injection (WFI), clean steam condensate, and utility system water all common pharmaceutical water types.
How are water sampling point locations and sampling frequencies configured?
Sampling points are registered with location details, assigned to schedules with configurable sampling frequencies daily, weekly, or at other required intervals as per Water System qualification.
How does the system manage OOS water results and action level exceedances?
Alert and action level thresholds are defined per sampling point and water type. When results exceed thresholds, automated OOS notifications are triggered, directing appropriate investigation and response actions.
How are water testing worksheets generated for analysts?
The system automatically generates worksheets for each scheduled sampling event, prepopulated with sampling point, required tests, and current specifications eliminating manual worksheet preparation.
How does the module support environmental monitoring alongside water system monitoring?
Water System Management and Environmental Monitoring modules work in concert within softLIMS, providing unified visibility across both water and environmental monitoring programs.
Can the module manage both in-house and pharmacopoeial water specifications?
Yes. Water specifications can be configured per applicable pharmacopoeia (IP, BP, USP, EP) or in house limits with test parameters and acceptance criteria defined accordingly.
How are historical water quality trends accessed and used for regulatory submissions?
Historical water data is stored and graphically displayed as trending data per sampling point and parameter suitable for water system annual reviews and regulatory submissions.
How does the module help demonstrate consistent water quality for FDA/MHRA inspections?
Structured, audit ready water testing records with complete sample registration, result entry, OOS documentation, and approval trails demonstrate a systematic water quality monitoring program to inspectors.
How are schedule deviations (missed sampling events) managed?
Schedule deviation notifications alert responsible personnel when sampling events are overdue. Deviations are documented and require justification, maintaining regulatory accountability for water monitoring schedules.
Does the module comply with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11?
Yes. All water analysis records, approvals, and audit trails are captured with electronic signatures and timestamps fully compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements.
