Verification data

Some organic compounds can be in solution with water and the mixture may still be a flammable mixture. The vapors above these mixtures such as ethanol, methanol, or acetone can form flammable mixtures with air. Bodurtha [39] and Albaugh and Pratt [47] discuss the use of Raoult s law (activity coefficients) in evaluating the effects. Figures 7-52A and B illustrate the vapor-liquid data for ethyl alcohol and the flash point of various concentrations, the shaded area of flammability limits, and the UEL. Note that some of the plots are calculated and bear experimental data verification. 

Three factors must be considered when acquiring vibration data settling time, data verification, and additional data that may be required. 

Audits of each phase of the study should include personnel training, preparation of collection forms, application calibration, each sample collection procedure, sample transport, each type of chemical analysis, data recording, data entry, data verification and data storage. Data collection in the field is often tedious if automated logging devices are not in place. To ensure data integrity, the paper and ink used for field studies should be waterproof. Each data collection form should contain appropriate locations for information detailing the time and location of sample collection, sample transport and sample analysis. Data collection forms should be stored in an orderly fashion in a secure location immediately upon return of field teams from the field at the end of each day. It is also important for data quality for studies to collect necessary field data seven days per week when required. In our experience, poor study quality is likely when field sample and data collection do not proceed on weekends. 

Each data point must be transferred from data sheets into spreadsheets or databases. Verification of each datum should be performed by an individual who did not enter the data being verified. Audits of each phase of the study should be performed (i.e. preparation of collection forms, application calibration, each type of sample collection, sample transport, each type of chemical analysis, data recording, data entry, data verification and data storage). 

Data verification, also called quality control (QC), to verify the results before reporting, including statistical analysis of duplicates, standards, and blanks. 

Documenting of standard operating procedures for sampling, chain of custody, QA/QC, survey, logging, and data verification. 

Inspectors will visit the investigator site and may possibly wish to visit the sponsor s office. They will review the documentation of the study file (see Box 7.1). Approval documents of the lEC will be compared with any amendments made to the protocol or to the subject s information sheet/ICR Consent forms for the study subjects will be inspected to establish who actually gave consent and whether this was before entry into the clinical study. A thorough source data verification of the CRF with the source documents, including the medical records, will be undertaken. Documentation relating to drug accormtability wiU be matched with each subject s CRF The facilities wiU be reviewed and the site staff interviewed. Further information can be obtained from... 

Monitor means one or more persons appointed by the Sponsor to monitor compliance of the Clinical Trial with ICH GCP and to conduct source data verification. 

Data reduction is the mathematical and statistical calculations used to convert raw data to reported data. Data verification is the process of confirming that the...

Another example of slurry prescreening is presented here. Three batches, lot 1 (in spec) and lots 2 and 3 (under suspicion), from a commercial copper slurry were inspected by replicating the conditions of an 8-in. Mirra polisher on a bench-top tester. The bench-top results could differentiate between the good lot 1, the faulty lot 2, and the faulty lot 3 (refer to Table 4.1 for numerical data). Verification of these results on the production polisher fully confirmed the screening data, with excellent process correlation between the production and bench-top machines. Thus, tribometrology collected on bench-top testers can be useful not only in slurry characterization but also in quality control. 

Back-up scheduling, logging, recorded data verification, problem detection, deviation reporting Media labeling and storage (on-site, off-site)... 

As mentioned before, the ecological risk assessment is characterized by a problem formulation process, analysis containing characterizations of exposure and effects, and a risk characterization process. Several outlying boxes serve to emphasize the importance of discussions during the problem formulation process between the risk assessor and the risk manager, and the critical nature of the acquisition of new data, verification of the risk assessment, and monitoring. The next few sections detail each aspect of this framework. 

As crucial as the above steps are, they are all subject to revision based upon the acquisition of additional data, verification that the endpoints selected do, in fact, perform as expected, and that the process has proven successful in predicting ecosystem risks. The data acquisition, verification, and monitoring segment of risk assessment is what makes this a scientific... 

The aim of this chapter is to describe the general framework for conducting good clinical practices (GCP)-compliant clinical research. As it is difficult to cover this broad topic in such a short chapter, the authors will focus on those areas that are most discussed, most problematic and most critical to achieving a GCP-compliant clinical study. Thus, there is particular emphasis on ethical issues, source data verification and data integrity, monitoring and safety review, and study medication/device management. 

Source data verification is the process of verifying CRF entries against data in the source documents. Source data verification is only carried out at the study site, usually by the sponsor/CRO monitor (auditors will also conduct source data verification on a sample of CRFs inspectors may conduct source data verification on a sample or all CRFs). 

For all study subjects, source data verification requires a review of the following items ... 

Program Guidance Manual, 2006), stating Clinical trial quality assurance units (QAUs) are not required by regulation. However, many sponsors have clinical QAUs that perform independent audits/data verifications to determine compliance with clinical trial SOPs and FDA regulations .
