December 4th, 2007 - Finesse Solutions, LLC, Santa Clara, CA, a manufacturer of measurement and control solutions for life sciences process applications, announced the general release of its TruBio™IOQ package. TruBio™ IOQ is designed to take the guesswork out of validation and to complement thefully configurable TruBio™ operating system (TruBio™ OS).

Traditional validation of control systems can be expensive and time consuming, especially when new documents are created by external validation service contractors. The TruBio™ IOQ package provides all of the protocols needed to validate the maximum process configuration of a specific bioreactor type. By simply choosing the relevant sections and following the pre-written test procedures, end users can complete their installation and operational qualification.

Project managers utilizing TruBio™ IOQ can save valuable project time by eliminating the need to develop validation protocols and by minimizing the validation efforts traditionally found in implementing a new control system. With TruBio™ IOQ, customers can quickly validate TruBio™ OS functionality, minimize down time and improve predictability of the installation schedule.

Upon completing TruBio™ IOQ, users will establish documented evidence assuring that TruBio™ OS meets all user requirements and design specifications. TruBio™ IOQ provides objective evidence that TruBio™ OS performs consistently and accurately per its intended use in the bioprocess application. TruBio™ IOQ follows and incorporates established GAMP4 guidelines to ensure that TruBio™ OS is compliant with FDA’s Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 11, 210 and 211. TruBio™ IOQ also ensures that the TruBio™ OS will function as specified in cGMP and cGLP environments.

“The days of long and expensive validation are over. TruBio™ IOQ will streamline Installation and Operational Qualifications and at the same time be affordable!” says Yeng Vang, validation manager at Finesse.
