Every instrument, calibrated on schedule, with the certificate attached to the record.
Calibration Management tracks calibration intervals for instruments and equipment, escalates before a due date is missed, stores certificates directly against the equipment record, and can open an investigation automatically when a result comes back out of tolerance.
Calibration status is one of the first things an investigator checks.
An out-of-calibration instrument can call every result it produced into question — which is why calibration status has to be provably current, not just assumed.
Automatic, Mechanical & Electronic Equipment
Requires such equipment to be routinely calibrated, inspected or checked according to a written program, with records of those checks maintained.
Equipment Design, Size and Location
Equipment must be of appropriate design and suitably located to facilitate the calibration, cleaning and maintenance operations §211.68 requires.
Qualification & Validation
Instrument calibration status is a prerequisite input to equipment qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) — a lapsed calibration can invalidate a qualified state.
Calibration that escalates before it's missed, not after.
A missed calibration is rarely a surprise in hindsight — it's a reminder that didn't reach the right person in time.
Due dates calculated automatically
Calibration intervals are calculated from each instrument's master data — no separate spreadsheet to keep in sync.
Escalation before the deadline
Reminders fire ahead of the due date and escalate if unacknowledged, instead of surfacing the miss only after it's already happened.
Certificates live on the equipment record
Calibration certificates attach directly to the instrument's record, so there's one place to look during an audit, not a filing cabinet to search.
Out-of-tolerance triggers an investigation
An OOT result can open an investigation directly from the calibration record, without switching to a separate system to start it.
