Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Verification: Certified Digital Evidence

Forensic certification of inspections, audits and verifications to ensure document integrity, supply chain traceability and regulatory compliance.

The pharmaceutical and medical device industry operates under increasing regulatory pressure. Every inspection, every compliance verification, every supply chain audit generates digital evidence: batch photographs, inspection videos, serialization documents, non-conformity reports. This evidence must be authentic, unaltered and traceable to withstand scrutiny from regulatory authorities. With pharmaceutical counterfeiting generating billions in illicit revenue and European regulations (MDR, EU Reg. 2016/161) requiring increasingly rigorous documentation, relying on photographs and reports without authenticity guarantees exposes organizations to legal risks, sanctions and disputes.

TrueScreen certifies every piece of evidence at the point of collection, with digital signature, qualified timestamp and verified metadata, transforming verification activities into documented processes with full legal validity.

FAQ: Certified Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Verification

1) What types of digital evidence can be certified during a pharmaceutical inspection?
TrueScreen certifies batch and packaging photographs, inspection videos in manufacturing facilities and warehouses, traceability system screenshots, non-conformity documents, pharmacovigilance reports and environmental condition recordings during storage and transportation. Every piece of content receives a digital signature, qualified timestamp and verified metadata at the point of collection.
2) How does TrueScreen ensure compliance with MDR 2017/745 requirements?
TrueScreen certification produces documentation with a complete chain of custody, digital signature and qualified timestamp compliant with eIDAS. This satisfies the traceability, data integrity and audit trail requirements set by EU Regulation 2017/745 on medical devices, EU Delegated Regulation 2016/161 on medicine serialization and FDA regulations (21 CFR Part 820 and Part 11).
3) How does certification protect the chain of custody for inspection evidence?
Every piece of evidence is digitally signed at the point of field collection, with immutable metadata: GPS position, date and time, device. From the moment of acquisition to archiving, the content cannot be altered. This eliminates the typical vulnerabilities of transfers via email, cloud or local copies that characterize traditional processes.
4) How much time is saved in producing audit documentation?
The TrueScreen Workflow Engine automatically organizes evidence according to the inspection structure and generates certified technical reports at the end of the assessment. Inspection documentation consolidation times are reduced from days to minutes, eliminating the manual assembly, verification and distribution phase.
5) Can certified documentation be used in legal proceedings?
Documentation produced by TrueScreen has full evidentiary value thanks to the digital signature and qualified timestamp compliant with eIDAS. Every piece of evidence is linked to the time, place and operator who captured it, with a complete and verifiable chain of custody. This makes it admissible in regulatory audits, supplier disputes and judicial proceedings.
6) How does TrueScreen integrate with existing Quality Management systems?
TrueScreen integrates with QMS systems compliant with ISO 13485, serialization and traceability platforms (EU FMD, US DSCSA), pharmaceutical ERP systems and document archives compliant with 21 CFR Part 11. Certified documentation is made available through a centralized archive to Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance functions and competent authorities.
