Validation Engineer Validating Medical Device Equipment

Validating Quality Control is essential for products being manufactured under extremely highly tolerances and to demanding Quality standards such as those found with medical device and pharmaceutical manufacture.

Validation is a quality control process that measures and tests against requirements that a system, product or service is achieving what it is required to do. For instance in manufacturing it is a process of zeroing equipment or plant to the exact parameters it must operate to, to produce product to an exact standard inorder to achieve a stated and fixed end result within fixed specifications outside of which it is not acceptable.

In essence it is  the process of fitness of purpose testing with the end user or other stake holders.

In many circumstances in manufacturing it can involve either computers, (hardware and software), equipment or an entire operating process or facility.

Validation in short can be explained by the question, “are you building the right thing?” and often requires reference to the Users Requirement Specifications or URS and the validation process can require a set of stringent protocols to achive completion referred to by the following terminology, IQ (Installation Qualification/OQ(Operational Qualification/Performance Qualification
