## What Records are E-Records?A Process Control System Case Study

- Jeffrey Beck
- Manager, Quality Engineering
- Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc.

## Objectives

- Discuss recent experiences in applying Part 11 guidance to a SCADA/PLC lyophilizer control system, with recipe management functions.
- Provide feedback on:
- Scope
- Definitions/criteria for identifying electronic records
- Records required by predicate rules

##  Recipe Management Overview

- Each recipe in the process control system is made up of several critical process parameters stored in a named file.
- Recipes are first “approved” through quality system (change control and electronic document management) before being entered and saved in the process control system.
- The control system loads the recipe parameters from its recipe management system, not from the document management system.
- The recipe parameters are printed to a paper report after the cycle begins, and this report is signed by the operator.

## Recipe Issues

- Is the recipe in the process control system a required record at all?
- Some considered it equivalent to “software”.
- Some considered it a part of the Master Production Record.
- Which record is being “*relied on to perform regulated activities”*?
- Some thought approval of the recipe document was the only regulated activity, others believed loading process parameters into a control system was also regulated.

## Resolutions and Criteria

- The recipe in the process control system is managed as a discrete unit and is therefore a record (under 211.68 (b)), distinct from the control software.
- Loading process parameters is a regulated activity.  Both versions of the recipe (document management and process control system) are electronic records under Part 11.
- Records “used to perform regulated activities” may also include stored, reusable inputs to process control and other automated systems.
- In this case, the electronic recipes may be considered “low impact” as the likelihood of an undetected error is low.

## Conclusions and Comments

- The narrow scope for Part 11 defined in the current guidance is appropriate, and should be written into a revised regulation.
- Within this narrow scope, the definition of electronic records required by predicate rules would benefit from more detail, supported by some specific examples.
- The current definition should be refined to make clear that “use for regulated activities” may include electronic records used as inputs by computer systems.
- There may also be a need to clarify which records are required in addition to those specifically identified in predicate rules.

- Division of STD Prevention

## Syphilis — Reported cases by stage of infection: United States, 1941–2004

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Reported cases by reporting source:United States, 1984–2004

- Note: Prior to 1996, the STD clinic source of report corresponded to public (clinic) source of report, and the non-STD clinic category corresponded to private source of report. After 1996, as states began reporting morbidity data electronically, the specific source of report (i.e., STD clinic) began to be reported from an increasing number of states.

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Rates: United States, 1970–2004 and the Healthy People 2010 target

- Note: The Healthy People 2010 target for P&S syphilis is 0.2 case per 100,000 population.

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Rates by state: United States and outlying  areas, 2004

- Note: The total rate of P&S syphilis for the United States and outlying areas (Guam, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands) was 2.8 per 100,000 population. The Healthy People 2010 target is 0.2 case per 100,000 population.

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Rates by county: United States, 2004

- Note: The Healthy People 2010 target for P&S syphilis is 0.2 case per 100,000 population. In 2004, 2,488 (79.3%) of 3,139 counties in the U.S. reported no cases of P&S syphilis.

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Rates by region: United States, 1981–2004and the Healthy People 2010 target

- Note: The Healthy People 2010 target for P&S syphilis is 0.2 case per 100,000 population.

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Rates by sex: United States, 1981–2004and the Healthy People 2010 target

- Note: The Healthy People 2010 target for P&S syphilis is 0.2 case per 100,000 population.

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Rates by race and ethnicity: United States,1981–2004 and the Healthy People 2010 target

- Note: The Healthy People 2010 target for P&S syphilis is 0.2 case per 100,000 population.

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Male-to-female rate ratios: United States, 1981–2004

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Age- and sex-specific rates: United States, 2004

## Primary and secondary syphilis — Age-specific rates among women 10 to 44 years of age: United States, 1981–2004

## SLIC monitoring histograms

** ****Finally, DSP5 maintains 4 channel histograms (.OR.’s **
**   ****for all wDSP receiver error, rogue, mute & misaligned **
**   ****channels)**
** ****All histos have 16 bins (16 channels)**

| Channel Histos | Range | Resolution |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Receiver errors | [0..15] | chan # |
| Rogue Channel | [0..15] | chan# |
| Mute Channel | [0..15] | chan# |
| Misaligned Channel | [0..15] | chan# |

** “****Receiver Errors” are upstream channel errors**
** “****Rogue Channel” gets an entry when chan.size > thresh.**
** “****Mute Channel” gets an entry when Data Count = 0 **
** “****Misaligned Channel” gets an entry when crossing, turn #’s**
**   ****different than those from SCL**

## DSP5 does wDSP/SLIC monitoring

- For each DSP (4+1), DSP5 accumulates;
-  **4 timing histograms  ****( input,  unpack,  process,  output )**
** ****1 event-size histogram ****(wDSP: sum of all FE inputs, **
**   ****headers excluded; DSP5: sum of all wDSP outputs, **
**   ****headers & trailers excluded)**
** ****1 DSP-specific error histogram**

** ****6 histograms x  short array[16] ******** 0.19 KBytes**

**This is a maximum of 37 histos per SLIC (1.16 Kbytes) **
**for fully debug-mode monitoring; In reality, the SLIC**
**driver controls the volume of monitoring information**
**by setting the “monitoring level” in DSP5 (via VME)**

- DSP5 also adds:
-  **2 more timing histograms  ****( idle,  monitoring )**
** ****4 channel-related histograms ****(rogue, mute, misaligned,**
**  ****receiver error; this is an .OR. of corresponding bins in all **
**  ****wDSP headers & trailers)**

- SLIC driver also adds:
** ****1 channel occupancy histogram (# of events to be read)**

**(4+1) DSP’s x 6 histograms x  short array[16] ******** 0.94 KBytes**

** ****1 histogram x  short array[16] ******** 0.03 KBytes**

## Levels of SLIC monitoring

- Notes:
-  **Non-idle DSP5 time is sum of input, unpack,**
**  ****process, output and monitoring times **
** ****From L2 ****→**** L3, .OR. of wDSP errors is eliminated**
** ****From L5 ****→**** L6, non-idle DSP5 time is eliminated**
** ****From L6 ****→**** L7, worst wDSP times are eliminated**

## Operating Very Light Jets:  Challenges for the Future Global Regulatory System

## Major Discussion Points

**ATM issues;**
- 2400 aircraft ordered from Eclipse
- Aircraft flying faster and high that may need to cohabitate with commercial aircraft in upper airspace
**Training issues**
- Aircraft go higher and faster
- Equipped with glass cockpits
- New challenges in training

**Notes:**
VLJs are here and will be entering the NAS shortly
But, the infrastructure that is in place that may need to be adjusted to accommodate VLJs – including the Air Traffic requirements for aircraft
Training will be key to how these airplanes succeed
How will pilots transition from other airplanes
Current VLJ OEMs are committed to developing a robust training program (to address single pilot, high altitude, etc.) and are working with the FAA on these programs

## Reaction from the Floor

**ATM issues**
- These aircraft will normally fly between FL 200 and 290
- These aircraft will normally use smaller airfields with less dense airspace.  Concern that operating only in secondary fields won’t prevent increased congestion in some already saturated areas (e.g. New York area or in Europe)
- The aircraft are well equipped which will enable them to integrate themselves without too many difficulties
**Training issues**
- Specific training programs are being developed between the manufacturers an the authorities.
- Training requirements to the level of an commercial pilot
- Competence based training programs

**Notes:**
Some believe that there are some Part 23 regulations that may not be adequate for this type of operation including:
Bird strike
Anti ice
Structural integrity
Some fear that some areas may become way too congested with an influx of VLJs into the NAS
The business model that is being used in the US for these airplanes is different than in the US and may have to be dealt with differently.  Only time will tell

## Outcomes/Additional Ideas

**No major issue was highlighted nor for ATM nor for training that would prevent the start of operations **
**With the progressive start of operation some tuning may be necessary.**

## Environmental Monitors on Lobster Traps:building a low-cost observing system with help from lobstermen 

**Figure 1  Multi-year eMOLT mooring locations as of Oct 2007.**

**Figure. 3  Documenting tide and wind effects****.**

**Figure. 6  Student-built, satellite-tracked,  drifter paths in 2003-2008.**

- Beginning in April 2000, nearly a hundred New England lobstermen have attached internally-recording temperature probes to their traps (Figs.1-3).  In 2001, several of these individuals also deployed Seabird Microcat salinity sensors (Fig 4). In 2004 and 2005, surface drifters (Fig. 5), built by the marine science students at SMCC, were deployed by lobstermen at several locations along the coast. These  units, equipped with low-cost GPS transmitters, have been used by several universities since that time and have now collectively logged over 100 thousand kilometers of ocean (Fig. 6). In 2008, a set of low-cost bottom-current meters, developed by Vitalii Sheremet, have been installed on several traps (Fig. 7). It is now possible, therefore, to examine the variability of surface and bottom water conditions on hourly to inter-annual time scales at locations throughout the Gulf of Maine and along the Southern New England shelf. Time series and drifter tracks are available at _[www.emolt.org](http://www.emolt.org/)_**.**
- Year-to-year bottom temperature variations have been documented at most sites. Inter-annual differences of several degrees (Fig. 2) are attributed to both local climate and remote source water.  While this signal is fairly coherent throughout the Gulf of Maine, other shorter-time-scale processes such as  those due to local tide and wind (Figs.  3 & 4) are documented as well.
- The primary purpose of eMOLT data is to feed a set of numerical circulation models currently under development around the region. Given the observations of temperature, salinity, and  current velocity,  models can be initialized and validated. Natural processes potentially affecting the growth, survival, and ultimate fate of lobster larvae can be addressed.

## The Great Dark Vortex on Jupiter 

- Harry Charalambous
- Dr. James Frost

## Introduction

- The Great Dark Spot of Jupiter is a mysterious anomaly that occurs in the north pole of Jupiter at a latitude of 60 degrees and a longitude of 180 degrees.  It is located in the same vicinity as the Aurora, which suggests the dark spot is related to the Aurora.  With a size three times the size of Earth, roughly the size of the Great Red Spot, and a lifespan of only approximately ten weeks, the Great Dark Spot is a mystery. The Great Dark Vortex was first discovered by accident by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1997.  Scientists at NASA did not know what to make of the spot until it was once again seen during the CASSINI fly-by of Jupiter in 2000.

## Abstract

- Our study of the Great Dark Vortex on Jupiter is meant to discover how and why the vortex forms and what factors contribute to its formation.  The Great Dark Vortex, also known as the Great Dark Spot is currently under investigation for its peculiar formation and deterioration.  The three dates I am studying are on September 1997 with the dark spot clearly visible, November 1997 with signs of the deterioration of the Great Dark Spot and its trail, and on August 1999 with no sign of the Great Dark Spot.  This information is gathered using the Hubble Space Telescope.

## Conclusion

- The Great Dark Spot can be seen clearly as it was supposed to be during September 1997 under filters of 218nm, 255nm, 336nm, and 890nm.  These are not new results, but they are worth discovering for myself.
- Ratios under an assortment of filters further reveal the Dark Spot and its trail during September 1997, and its deterioration during November 1997 in the north pole of Jupiter under a CML of roughly 180 degrees.
- The deterioration of the Great Dark Spot is revealed in some of the ratio plots from November 1997.  The possible remnants of the Great Dark Spot may be involved in the reformation of the Great Dark Spot as shown with the CASSINI flyby of Jupiter.

## Conclusion (cont’d)

- Thus, in the future, we may be able to use the remnants of the dark spot to tell us the composition of the spot.  It also suggests that the Great Dark Spot again and possibly periodically.
- A ratio of 336/218 during September 1997 seems to reveal another dark spot in the south pole of Jupiter.  This spot is of similar nature to the Great Dark Spot because it is located in the Aurora and last for approximately the same amount of time.  Therefore, the Great Dark Spot can be inferred to be directly related to the Aurora.
- A comparison of point values at the Great Dark Spot for different frequencies suggests that the Great Dark Spot’s composition has a spectrum near a frequency of 410nm.
