Data Lifecycle of a Eurotherm Recorder
Learn How to Meet Data Integrity ALCOA + principles
The phases in the life of the data
Data Integrity ALCOA+ principles apply through all phases in the life of the data, from initial generation and recording through processing, use, data, retention, archiving, and retrieval up to its destruction date
Creation
- Valuers form sensors have metadata (range, units, tag, calibration, etc.) applied
- Values communicated from other systems have metadata applied.
- Values captured form operator (with metadata stored to audit trail)
Processing
- Calculated values
- Comparison of actual and desired values to produce alarms and events
- Temporary local storage to UHH files on recording device
Destruction
- Removal from archive location and destruction of data at end of required retention period.
Retention and retrieval
- UHH files enable retrieval of electronic batch data for investigation
Review, reporting and use
- Recorder screens show current values, current alarms, trended values, historical alarms
- Historical data values and alarms can be used for review (Data Reviewer software) or reporting (Dream Report software) and GxP activities
Storage
- UHH files can be stored within the recording device
- UHH files can also be transferred to a storage location
