The user interface will indicate if the traceability is broken, missing or outdated.

MatrixALM can be easily configured to describe any Design Input and Design Output categories.

Each item category can have different fields and hold values. Like, rich text, dropdown, tables, etc...

Each design item, report, or controlled document has a unique link, like a website. This link can be embedded in other documents or emails allowing others with access to the project to directly access the item.

You can set up a workflow to mark items with a review flag. A change to the item can automatically reset this flag.

Several changes to the project can be logged under the same change comment without re-entering it for every change.

Sign documents electronically. Full support for compliance with FDA 21 CFR part 11 for electronic records including electronic signatures.

If a user works on an item which has been modified by someone else, it will be indicated in the user interface.

Projects have a central time zone and date time formatting which is used by all team members and reports. The user interface of each team member can be adjusted to their location and date time formatting preferences.

Issues related to any item can be tracked in Jira clouds. Issues found during testing can be added and are automatically linked to the executed test cases.

You can define pre‐defined text blocks like a version number or the intended use, which can be inserted as macros in rich text fields.

Reference any item in other projects.

All project data including audit trail can be exported as xml.

Database items can be exported as xlsx files.

Complete validation documentation, ISO 13485 and ISO 27001 certification, and a pre-populated project that you can use to validate your configuration (e.g. the risk analysis formulas). The same project can also be used to efficiently validate other tools that require validation.

Quickly perform and document design and quality process reviews.

Supercharge product development & maintain traceability. Get more products out the door & combine existing items from projects for reuse in other projects.

Labels can be set for each category. It is possible to define labels which can be attached to items of a given item category. For example test cases could be marked as smoke or regression tests or both, or requirements as being important for FDA, CE or both. The tree and reports can be filtered by these labels.

This module helps you administer big groups of users, in order to more easily assign access rights to projects.
