Monitoring designed to support regulated laboratory environments

In regulated pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and clinical laboratories, monitoring systems must support structured

workflows, traceable actions, and documented processes aligned to applicable regulatory standards.

 

Thermo Scientific remote monitoring solutions are designed to support compliance workflows by enabling audit-ready

monitoring, role-based controls, and structured data capture.


Supporting FDA 21 CFR Part 11-Aligned Workflows

Certain regulated environments require systems that support electronic records, user accountability, and traceable audit trails.

Smart-Vue Pro

 

Smart-Vue Pro is designed as a validated environmental monitoring system that can support workflows aligned to FDA 21 CFR Part 11 where required.

 

Key elements include:

  • Audit trail functionality
  • Role-based access controls
  • Centralized record retention
  • Structured response workflows
  • Documented event history and acknowledgments to help you meet regulatory requirements according to your SOPs, cGxP, 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 17025, CE, FCC, ISED, WPF (India), CMIIT (China), EMC and electrical safety, among other standards.

Connect Edge
 

Connect Edge monitors equipment telemetry and transmits raw data to cloud or on-premise systems. It does not function as a standalone validated monitoring system; instead, it integrates with customer-hosted compliance environments that may already be validated or aligned to 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.

 

This architecture supports laboratories that maintain validated systems of record and require centralized equipment telemetry integration.


Data Security & System Integrity

Thermo Scientific remote monitoring solutions leverage the Thermo Fisher Connect Platform, built in alignment with Thermo

Fisher Scientific's Cybersecurity Program and hosted on the Amazon Web Services™ (AWS) cloud infrastructure.

The platform incorporates multiple layers of security and operational safeguards.

 

 

Secure cloud infrastructure

  • Hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) environment
  • Logical firewall segmentation
  • Credential-based access restrictions
  • AWS data centers operating under multiple

Data encryption & transmission security

  • AES 256-bit encryption for data at rest
  • HTTPS/SSL encryption with 2048-bit SSL certificates
  • Transport layer Security (TLS) for secure data transmission
  • Security standards comparable to those used by leading institutions

Backup, recovery & data retention

  • Robust backup and disaster recovery architecture
  • AWS SSAE 16-certified data centers
  • Service Organization Control 1 (SOC 1®) report availability
  • Data retained for active accounts

Ongoing audits & vulnerability assessments

  • Regular security vulnerability assessments
  • Data integrity testing
  • Third-party security audits and penetration testing

Secure data sharing controls

  • Admin-controlled data sharing
  • Granular file and folder permissions
  • Secure collaboration within the Connect Platform

Network protection & access control

  • Logical firewall controls
  • Credential-based authentication
  • Role-based access management
  • Controlled user permissions

Flexible Deployment for Regulated Environments

Remote monitoring solutions support:

  • Cloud-based deployment
  • On-premises configurations
  • OPC UA-based integrations
  • Alignment with existing IT governance frameworks

Deployment flexibility enables laboratories to align monitoring

infrastructure with internal compliance and validation policies.

Designed for Structured Compliance Workflows

Monitoring systems in regulated laboratories must support more than alerts.
 

They must enable:

  • Defined escalation paths
  • Traceable corrective actions
  • Documented review processes
  • Predictable workflows aligned to SOPs

Smart-Vue Pro provides built-in workflow structure.

Connect Edge integrates monitoring data into validated enterprise systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Thermo Fisher provide 21 CFR Part 11-compliant systems?

Smart-Vue Pro is designed to support workflows aligned with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. Implementation and validation

are the responsibility of the laboratory.

 

Is Connect Edge 21 CFR Part 11 compliant?

Connect Edge transmits equipment telemetry data to cloud or on-premise systems and integrates with customer-hosted

compliance environments.

 

Where is monitoring data stored?

Data can be stored in cloud environments hosted on AWS or in on-premises systems using supported integration models,

including OPC UA.

 

How is monitoring data protected?

Monitoring data is protected through layered encryption, network segmentation, role-based access controls, scheduled audits,

and secure infrastructure management.
