FDA data integrity is a critical aspect of regulatory compliance in industries overseen by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices. Data integrity refers to the completeness, consistency, and accuracy of data throughout its lifecycle, from creation and processing to storage and retrieval. Ensuring data integrity is essential for maintaining the reliability and trustworthiness of information used to support regulatory decisions and product quality. Key Principles of FDA Data Integrity: 1. Attributable:     - Data should be attributable to the individuals who create, modify, or review it. This ensures accountability and transparency in the data generation process. 2. Legible:     - Data must be clear, readable, and indelible throughout its retention period. Legible records are crucial for accurate interpretation and audit purposes. 3. Contemporaneous:     - Data shoul...
