FDA cGMP and electronic-records requirements Sovel maps against — Part 11 closed-system controls, Part 211 production-record review and CAPA effectiveness, and the April 2026 FDA Warning Letter (320-26-58) that established the AI-output human-clearance precedent.

Sovel covers
Citation
§21 CFR 11.10
Closed-System Electronic Records Controls
Verify-in-place records carry the §11.10(e) audit-trail elements (independent date / time stamps, operator identification, action taken) and the §11.10(g) authority checks for any change to a controlled record.
21 CFR Part 11.10 — closed-system records require unique-to-one-individual authorization and computer-generated independent audit trails.
§21 CFR 211.180(e)
Master Batch + Production Records Review
Detects annotation drift between master batch records and executed batch records via narrative cross-reference; drafts reviewer-approved master-record amendments with named-author attribution.
21 CFR 211.180(e) — written records of investigations into discrepancies must be made and retained for at least one year after distribution.
§21 CFR 211.192
Production Record Review (CAPA Effectiveness)
Repeat-deviation cluster detection across batch records; surfaces the CAPA-effectiveness gap before the next QMS review cycle catches it. Each finding carries a named reviewer and an immutable trail.
21 CFR 211.192 — discrepancies and failures of a batch to meet specifications must be thoroughly investigated; investigation extends to other batches that may have been associated.
FDA WL 320-26-58
AI-Output Human Clearance (April 2026)
Every Sovel-proposed finding routes to a named QU representative for review and clearance before it can become governed truth. The reviewer's approval IS the §11.10(e) audit-trail entry. No autonomous writes to controlled records.
FDA Warning Letter 320-26-58 (Purolea Cosmetics Lab, April 2 2026) — first AI-specific cGMP enforcement: "any output or recommendations from an AI agent must be reviewed and cleared by an authorized human representative of your firm's QU."
