Smart Meter Verification and FDA 21 CFR part 11 Tom O’Banion Director of Industry Differentiation
Agenda • Review of Terms • Third Party Agency Work • Overall update • FDA • AMS Snap-on and ProLink advantages • AMS Screen shots
Terminology: Calibration, Validation, and Verification • Definition of terms • Calibration: Establishing the relationship between flow and signal produced by sensor. • Validation: Confirming flow performance by comparing a primary flow standard to sensor. In F&B, Pharma, and LifeScience, Processes are also often validated • Verification: Establishing confidence in performance by analysis of secondary variables associated with flow • Frequently these terms are used interchangeably • Many times calibration or validation is done when only verification is needed • Micro Motion measures tube stiffness to verify complete performance
ISO 9001 (Often used in F&B) 7.6 Control of monitoring and measuring equipment The organization shall determine the monitoring and measurement to be undertaken and the monitoring and measuring equipment needed to provide evidence of conformity of product to determined requirements. The organization shall establish processes to ensure that monitoring and measurement can be carried out and are carried out in a manner that is consistent with the monitoring and measurement requirements. Where necessary to ensure valid results, measuring equipment shall a) be calibrated or verified, or both, at specified intervals, or prior to use, against measurement standards traceable to international or national measurement standards; where no such standards exist, the basis used for calibration or verification shall be recorded (see 4.2.4); b) be adjusted or re-adjusted as necessary; c) have identification in order to determine its calibration status; d) be safeguarded from adjustments that would invalidate the measurement result; e) be protected from damage and deterioration during handling, maintenance and storage. In addition, the organization shall assess and record the validity of the previous measuring results when the equipment is found not to conform to requirements. The organization shall take appropriate action on the equipment and any product affected. Records of the results of calibration and verification shall be maintained (see 4.2.4).
FDA • Official MMI letter stating SMV is “manufacturer recommended best practice” • Part of Rosemount Hygienic initiative • FAQ developed
FDA FAQ for Sales Document # GI 002000 Rev A
FAQ Excerpts • Add SMV to SOP • Run SMV once per quarter and file report • Share in conjunction with SMV and Zero Verification Tool videos • Ask probing questions about current work practices, cost of calibration, etc. • Meters with 800 ECP can be easily upgraded to SMV in the field • When quoting a project, use the entire portfolio based on a) hygienic approvals, b) need for hygienic flanges, and c) SMV availability (e.g. T-series is not yet SMV enabled)
Remember, Only Micro Motion Offers a True Verification Method for Coriolis: Easy, Fast, While the meter continues to operate • Full flow meter check: tests sensor components, tube stiffness, electronics, and wiring • Compares performance and repeatability to the day meter was calibrated • Loop-back checks of electronics and signal processing to ensure total system is functioning correctly • Immediate results: no need to trend and interpret results • Convenient: Test can be done with several interfaces and can be scheduled • Safe and Easy: Does not take meter out of the line or stop the process • Fast: Test only take 90 seconds Full Meter Assurance!

enable_meter_verification Provides the current meter verification test state 0 = idle, disabled, abort 1 = normal verification (seen when hold last measurement or fault is selected) 6 = background meter verification (seen when continue measurement is selected) device_specific_status_4 Provides meter verification test status 0 = None, pass 1 = A032, meter verification in progress, output fixed 2 = A033, tube not full (not sure this is associated with meter verification test) 4 = A034, meter verification failed 8 = A035, meter verification aborted This item is bit enumerated so you should look at applying a mask for bit 2 only.
