We are new to SpiraPlan and just getting set up - I just wondered if anyone out there in the medical device industry would be willing to share your approach to using SpiraPlan and managing your medical device files (e.g. DHF, DMR, etc).
Are you managing in SpiraPlan, or outside in another document management system? Just curious as we are working on setting ourselves up with the application.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Nadia
I would take a look through our online 21 CFR Part 11 WhitePaper on our website. In addition, we have a blog about configuring SpiraPlan for medical device use - https://www.inflectra.com/Ideas/Entry/configuring-spirateam-for-testing-in-validated-env-548.aspx
Lastly we have a webinar on the subject as well: https://www.inflectra.com/Ideas/Entry/how-to-accelerate-software-testing-validation-1011.aspx
In terms of document management. In additional to managing the requirements and test cases themselves using electronic signatures (as described in our blog and whitepapers), you can generate reports in SpiraPlan (e.g. Requirements Detailed Report) and upload them into the Documents section of the application as well (we will streamlining this process in a future version).
From there you can use the Document Management workflow, check-in/check-out and electronic signature option to control those documents as well.
I hope that helps.
Regards
David
Thank for the information, David - much appreciated.
I'm asking a slightly different question than part 11 and validation, though...just curious whether other folks are using an external Doc Management System with SpiraPlan.
