RECOMMENDED KIT
DCS20
The DCS20 process controller was specially designed for laboratory machines manufactured by Fedegari.
The end result is a modular system that offers a wide range of functions and high reliability.
The system includes a supervisor module and other individual ones dedicated to specific functions such as: programs management, cycles, phases, configurations and alarms for the module.
Options
- REMOTE GUI allows remote connection to a PC by Ethernet connection. This connection allows the operator to view the machine display on the desktop.
- REMOTE CONTROL allows remote connection to a PC by the Ethernet connection port. This connection allows the operator to fully interact with the machine. This excludes door closing and data backup operations.
Data management in compliance with the requirements of the 21 CFR PART 11 protocol.
Life cycle and Validation
DCS20 is designed, developed, tested, maintained, and validated according to a defined life cycle according to regulatory requirements stated in the current GMP.
Life cycle management complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, up to the current operational stage in defining product management practices in accordance with the principles of the GAMP5 guideline.
According to the system classification defined in GAMP 5 – Appendix M4 Categories of Software and Hardware, DCS20 is classified as:
- Software Category 4 – Configurable system
- Hardware Category 1 – Standard hardware components
Tests on software and hardware components are performed, during project and engineering activities, by applying functional risk analysis according to ALCOA+ principles, as defined in the Change Control procedure, dedicated to DCS20, part of the Fedegari Quality System.
