Subject description
The laboratory information system of the customer uses an Oracle-based database. The communication interfaces use the standardized protocols ASTM and HL7, as well as other proprietary protocols. The drivers used for the interface to the analysis devices in the laboratory are written mainly in C++. The customer queries, complaints and problems are documented in CM Clarify. The complaint-related behavior is analyzed by reproducing it with the corresponding software version and performed at program code level. The PL/SQL developer, as well as Team Foundation Server (TFS), Visual Studio 2010 and MKS Integrity Client are used. Documentation of the error is maintained in HP Quality Center and made available for the developers. With the analysis of the product risk, a decision is made as to whether it is necessary to create a CAPA in SAP and which corrective and preventive measures can be taken.
