eInfotree Access Desktop
Access databases are commonly used in support of critical GxP applications. Examples of these include:
- Batch, product or test data
- Clinical trial data
- Raw material, in-process, and finished goods test data
- Manufacturing logs
- Assay test data
- Training records
- Records required by predicate rules (GCP, GMP, GLP)
Access databases usually have little to no security, and hence the data can be easily modified by unauthorized users potentially compromising data integrity and compliance. Unauthorized changes or errors, in a GxP environment, can lead to serious consequences including improper release of a batch, erroneous clinical trial results and falsification of records. Hence, Access databases used in support of predicate rules must be 21 CFR Part 11 compliant to comply with FDA regulations.
Benefits
- No change in the user experience – the database can still be opened as before by simply double-clicking the file name.

- Simple and effective remediation of Access databases for 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance.
- Save time and money by eliminating the need to migrate to a new system.
- Files continue to be saved in the native Access format.
- Quick and easy installation of software.
- Automated and structured process provides confidence in spreadsheet controls and process integrity to aid in attestation.
- A dedicated server is not required.
- Easy to configure, use and maintain.
- Reduced validation effort using an available validation package.
