21 CFR Part 11B Electronic Record Keeping

About 21 CFR Part 11B Electronic Records

It is more important than ever for companies to automate their record-keeping practices. 21 CFR Part 11B was developed by the FDA in 1997 to keep your records safe and secure in the digital age. INICIUS LLC (Itokii) takes great pride in making sure the readings delivered by our product lines are authentic, reliable, and confidential.

Devices in compliance with 21 CFR Part 11B are recognized for safeguarding sensitive information. All computer systems containing “records in electronic form that are created, modified, maintained, archived, retrieved, or transmitted, under any records requirements set forth in agency regulations.” For example, a temperature sensor used to monitor hot a hospital waiting room does not require 21 CFR Part 11B approval. However, a temperature sensor geared to make sure blood samples are kept cool in the same hospital may need to pass an audit.

Meets Electronic Record Authenticity Requirements

Authenticity requirements outlined by 21 CFR Part 11B include:

System consistently performs as designed.
System must have the capacity to identify invalid or altered records.
Sensor data is encrypted, stored redundantly, and cannot be modified after recording.
Sensor data is logged and time-stamped.
All data is backed up over distributed databases.

INICIUS LLC (Itokii) meets each of these guidelines. All sensors have been tested by professionals to make sure they perform under a variety of harsh conditions. The readings taken by sensors and stored on the online portal (portal.itokii.com) cannot be altered once the data is recorded. Sensors can be ordered with traceable calibration certificates such as NIST or EN12830. All data is logged and time-stamped under the history tab in portal.itokii.com for that specific sensor.

Meets Electronic Record Integrity Requirements

21 CFR Part 11B requirements are as follows:

Readable copies of records can be produced without impact on the original record.
Sensor data can be graphed.
Sensor data is time stamped.
Sensor data can be exported in spreadsheet/text form.
Sensor data can be exported using a secure API.

All sensor data is graphed and time stamped on portal.itokii.com. These records can also be exported on the history tab while viewing that time stamped data. API calls can be accessed by going to https://portal.itoki.com/API where a vast amount of sensor processes can be accomplished.
