Bio-Plex Manager Software 6.1 User Guide | Electronic Records
130
Users are required to enter their user name and password when they:
• Start the application
• Start a reading
• Unlock the application
• Sign a document, such as a Protocol or Results file
Different users may authenticate operations. For example, a Clinician
1-level user may be logged into Bio-Plex Manager, but a Supervisor-level user
may enter his user name and password to authenticate a particular reading.
Note that in this case, the Clinician 1-level user will remain logged onto the
application.
Your organization must establish its own guidelines for user authentication of
specific operations.
Electronic Records
Bio-Plex Manager Security Edition supports the creation and control of secure
“electronic records,” as defined by 21 CFR Part 11. In Bio-Plex Manager, the
following are electronic records:
• Protocol files
• Results files
• Calibration Log (included in the bioplexdata.mdb file)
• Validation Log (included in the bioplexdata.mdb file)
• Instrument Operations Log (included in the bioplexdata.mdb file)
These records are accessible only through Bio-Plex Manager and its
associated utilities.
File Security and Validation
The files used by Bio-Plex Manager Security Edition cannot be opened or
edited using other programs. Bio-Plex Manager checks the integrity and
validity of a file each time it opens. If a file becomes damaged or shows signs
of tampering with an outside application, it will not open in Bio-Plex Manager.
