Illustrative. Sample data.
- Who, what, when, where, and how, for every action
- Failed and repeated entries retained, never overwritten
- Every signature carries its signer and timestamp
ALCOA+, enforced by system control.
| Principle | System control |
|---|---|
| Attributable | Named accounts, role-based access, and electronic signatures |
| Legible | Readable records for the full retention period |
| Contemporaneous | Server timestamp at the moment of entry |
| Original | Source capture, with first versions preserved |
| Accurate | Field validation and laboratory import |
| Complete | Failed and repeated entries retained |
| Consistent | Enforced workflow sequence |
| Enduring | Configurable retention, patching without data loss |
| Available | Retrieval on demand, with remote reviewer access |
| Traceable | Every data point linked to source and change |
| Traceable is the ALCOA++ principle applied in GCP settings; it has no formal regulatory definition. | |
Built to GAMP 5, validation-ready.
What ZINOS supplies
Supplier documentation, configuration specifications, test evidence, and traceability from requirement to test.
What your hospital validates
Under GAMP 5, your institution validates the system for its own intended use, and no vendor holds a GAMP certification.
What that changes
Your quality team starts from documented controls and test evidence, rather than writing the validation from scratch.
Review the documents with your QA lead.
On a call, we agree the supplier documents your team needs, then share them under NDA and walk through them.
