AdvantaPure's Hose Track(TM) Equipment Tracking & Analysis System is Now 21 CFR Part 11 Validated


Third Party Validation Assures Users

Southampton, PA - The AdvantaPure division of NewAge Industries, Inc., is pleased to announce that its Hose Track Process Equipment Identification and Lifecycle Analysis System has been validated for 21 CFR Part 11. The third party validation, conducted by VALSPEC of Royersford, PA, affirms the product's compliance with Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 11, which relates to electronic records and signatures.

"Obtaining third party validation was of great importance," says John Stover, Director of Sales. "Customers need outside assurances that the products they're purchasing will meet both their needs and government-mandated requirements. Hose Track does this."

Hose Track, developed for hose assemblies used in pharmaceutical, food and beverage, biomedical, cosmetic, and other high-purity applications, also works with other process equipment, such as pumps, bio-bags, filters, diaphragm valves, UV lamps, and tanks and vessels. Hose Track uses RFID technology and software to identify parts and monitor on-going, wear-related events, including cleaning cycles, the number of batches processed, and other user-defined occurrences.

Hose Track provides a solution for the critical job of part maintenance and replacement. It increases safety and reduces risk by monitoring equipment and is a key tool used in projecting service dates before parts can fail, compromise product integrity, and waste time and labor. It replaces old-style log books, which can be prone to transposed numbers, incorrect dates, illegible handwriting, misread data, and misfiled documents. Log books also limit the availability of data, as they are kept in one place and generally do not follow the equipment. With Hose Track(TM) information can be viewed on any networked computer.
