21 CFR Part 11 Electronic Signature
Functionality |

FARMINGDALE,
NY (06-22-07): EtQ
has developed the ability
for 3rd party Biometric
readers to authenticate
21 CFR Part 11 electronic
signatures within the EtQ
Reliance FDA Compliance
Management System.
Compliance to FDA regulations,
particularly 21 CFR Part
11, is of the utmost importance
to Manufacturers in the
Life Science industry.
Over the years, compliance
management systems have
been developing leading
edge technologies to address
electronic signatures
and records, from password
protection, system logins,
password timeouts, expirations,
and more. With all of
the functionality and
features behind such technologies,
there is an element of
error that can occur -
forgotten passwords, identity
theft, cumbersome access
lists, and more.
Biometrics are technologies
that measure and analyze
human physical and behavioral
characteristics as authentication
measures. Fingerprint
scanning, retinal scanning,
and similar methodologies
are used as biometrics
to ensure that any authentication
to the system is consistent
and unique, and eliminates
any errors or forgotten
passwords.
EtQ has developed the
technology to integrate
biometric systems into
the EtQ Reliance FDA Compliance
Management System. Using
EtQ's biometric
integration, users are
able to authenticate
using 3rd-party biometric
reader instead of the
default EtQ authentication
dialog (user name and
password). This method
of authentication will
ensure a secure record
of authentication and
electronic signature,
with the user's
biometric data collected
as evidence of the signature.
"EtQ is continually
developing ways to further
enhance our compliance
systems, and strives to
stay on the leading edge
of how electronic signatures
are read and tracked"
says Morgan Palmer, Chief
Technology Officer at
EtQ. "Biometric
integration is just one
of the many utilities
EtQ is developing to help
companies achieve compliance
across the enterprise."
EtQ continues to expand
its integration utilities,
implementing such tools
as eMDR, SAP integration,
Integration Management,
and eValidator - all with
the singular purpose of
making compliance a competitive
advantage for its users.
