HONEYWELL'S NEW EXTENDED SECURITY SYSTEM (ESS) FEATURE HELPS YOU COMPLY WITH 21 CFR PART 11 RULES



FORT WASHINGTON, PA, March 5, 2002 - The Industrial Process Controls business of Honeywell [NYSE:HON] has developed a software option for its paperless recorders that enables users to comply with the requirements of FDA regulation 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic signatures and records. The Extended Security System (ESS) option is available on Honeywell's Minitrend and Multitrend Plus paperless recorders.

Honeywell's recorders with ESS feature restricted user access requiring a user name and password; data encryption so that files cannot be changed without detection; an audit trail that captures actions with a time and date stamp; unique electronic signatures for signing records or noting batch data; inactivity logout if no action is performed within a certain time; and, unauthorized use lockout if there are three failed log-in attempts.

Honeywell can also supply IQ/OQ Protocol documentation for the Minitrend or Multitrend Plus recorders. This aids the customer in development of the requirements for process validation. The IQ/OQ Protocol Assembler is a step-by-step guide, which includes pre-formatted documentation sign-off sheets, for Installation Qualification and Operational Qualification (IQ/OQ) of the recorder.
