Verify & validate new instruments in days, not weeks

When starting new instrument verification projects, you don’t have to hunt for guidance on what to do and how. Validation Manager provides all the information you need and guides you through each step.

Validation Manager has workflows curated for a vast array of qualitative and quantitative studies. These workflows are designed to guide you through all the elements needed to carry out verifications that are statistically relevant and compliant with the latest protocols and guidelines.

What’s more, Validation Manager enables your lab to:

• Build your own verification project templates with pre-defined sets of studies and detailed instructions on how to complete each study plan.

• Upload your own report templates with pre-approved layouts, so every report created by your lab will be standardized and reliable. The outcome? Easy accreditations.

• Reuse protocols and goals from existing study plans to complete new projects even faster, with minimal manual effort.

This way, your lab can easily guide its staff and ensure that they follow the standardized internal processes.

Validation Manager guides you through the planning process, so you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Just fill in the plan step by step and you’ll get a steady verification plan in minutes.

What makes Validation Manager unique:

It enables you to do multiple different verifications within one study. This makes managing your data and results easier as you don’t have to manually work through dozens of individual Excel sheets.

Validation Manager always asks you to set performance goals for your studies at this step—before any results are produced. This ensures that everyone’s analysis is objective and transparent, and all results are easily comparable.

Instead of manually transcribing your data into dozens of individual Excel sheets, you can save weeks of work by dragging and dropping all data files into Validation Manager at once.

Data files can be grabbed directly from your laboratory instruments, middleware, LIS. This makes your process efficient as you don’t have to deal with any Excel work or manual data input. You can also import Excel sheets into Validation Manager if your data is already there.

Once you’ve dropped the files into Validation Manager, you can effortlessly select specific data you want to import (e.g. from which tests and instruments, for which samples) in just a few clicks.

Validation Manager accepts data files from all major instruments, middleware, and LIS products used by labs and we’re constantly adding more.

Once you have completed importing data, Validation Manager instantly calculates all of the results based on the latest protocols and guidelines and creates all necessary graphs for you. You’ll no longer have to deal with loads of manual calculation and Excel work.

What makes Validation Manager unique:

• Validation Manager makes it easy to check how concordant your new results are with the old ones. You can even monitor this for each medical decision point separately.
• All results in Validation Manager are calculated with 95% confidence intervals, so you can easily evaluate their reliability without having to know advanced statistics. Even better, the calculated results are automatically marked as passed or failed based on your performance goals. This way, you don’t have to manually make conclusion for each of them and can simply review those that actually need your attention.
• For most qPCR instruments, Validation Manager even enables viewing the raw data graphs of individual samples.

With Validation Manager doing all the time-consuming manual work, you can finally have time to focus on more important tasks like interpreting your results.

With Validation Manager, you no longer have to juggle verification reports from dozens of Excel sheets as Validation Manager gives you an overview of all your reports. You can simply click on any of them to see more details, including all the relevant graphs, results, and comments.

You also don’t have to waste time building the final verification reports as Validation Manager produces a ready-to-download Word report for you in one click. All you need to do is select what to include. No more copy/pasting every detail as with the conventional approach.

What’s even better is you can go fully digital and ditch all the paper, Word, and Excel work. Rather than printing the Word reports out, just show the accreditors your results and all relevant information right inside Validation Manager.

Validation Manager has been used in ISO 15189 and ISO 17025 accredited laboratories across Europe for years, so the data and reports it generates have been accepted by all important accreditation services.

Validation Manager gives you full traceability of all results, so you can click on any of them to see:

• your original data and where it came from

• who has done what and when

• all relevant sample and instrument details

What makes Validation Manager unique is that it automatically recognizes potential outliers and gives you a standardized way to mark them as such. For results that need to be removed due to non-statistical reasons, Validation Manager gives you the option to exclude them from the analysis. These results will, however, not be deleted from the reports but remain fully traceable as the rest. You can always click on them to see who has carried out the action, when, and with what comment. This way, you’re ready to answer any questions from accreditors as all relevant information is accessible in one click.

What’s more, you don’t need to worry about re-calculating the results as Validation Manager does that automatically as soon as any data point has been marked as outlier or excluded.

Validation Manager gives your lab tools to collaborate seamlessly on every verification project:

• Centralized platform: No more hunting for scattered comments or sending endless emails back and forth. Each report has a dedicated comment field located directly where your results are, so everyone can write remarks, add important information, and ask questions in one place. This standardizes and simplifies your feedback loop.

• Visibility: You can easily track the life cycle of every project, including those your colleagues are working on. With all results, conclusions and other details visible in real-time, you’ll never have to wait until a project is completed to know what has happened. Even better, you can work on studies and projects at the same time with your colleagues.

• Understandability: All project components are shown in a standardized format, so you can easily review, continue from, or take on your colleagues’ tasks when needed. New team members can also catch up fast without vigorous onboarding.

• Centralized platform: Validation Manager enables your lab to create, carry out, and organize all verification projects in one place. All information related to the verifications is securely stored in one single source of truth that every team member can refer back to whenever needed.

• Flexibility: You don’t have to be at the office to get work done. As Validation Manager is a cloud-based solution, you can work anywhere with a computer and the internet.
