Electronic Logbook Management
Kneat Gx | eLogbooks
Why Use Electronic Logbooks
FDA’s Part 211, Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Finished Pharmaceuticals, section 211.182 Equipment Cleaning and Use Log outlines the FDA’s minimum requirements for Logbook Management.
Under 211.182, every piece of equipment including cleanrooms and other controlled work areas, require an individual logbook containing a written record of the date, time, product, and lot number of each batch processed via that equipment or workspace. An additional log containing a record for all major equipment cleaning, maintenance, calibration, and usage of equipment must also be maintained.
In a best-practice environment, log users should log all equipment states, events, and conditions no matter how minor so that a logbook does not only comply, but also adds value as a comprehensive diagnostic tool, in the event of equipment fault or failure.
Manual (paper-based) logbook management can threaten even basic quality compliance and cause operational inefficiency as:
- Paper based logbooks offer minimal data integrity assurance and are susceptible to error, damage or loss.
- Legibility, and attribution cannot be assured in a paper-based logbook.
- Requirement to maintain concurrent individual and overall logbooks, present an ongoing risk of duplication or inconsistency between logbook data.
- Physical logbooks risk contamination to cleanroom workspaces during review, replacement, and audit.
- Scheduled and ad-hoc document storage, retrieval and routing pose significant cost and efficiency constraints.
