Equipment qualification for demonstrating the fitness for purpose of analytical instrumentation†

Bibliometric Analysis of Fitness Equipment: How Scientific Focuses Affect Life-Cycle Approaches and Sustainable Ways of Development

“…Yet, specific demanded levels of 'immersion' (engagement) for customers during training could create positive effects on both motivation and attendance [10]. Additionally, dynamic performances and mechanical characteristics [11] cover the risk that one product should be labelled as unsuitable or inappropriate [12]. In the literature, scientific studies embrace their topics in the most varied quality arguments directly correlated to fitness equipment.…”

“…Some articles have deeply developed the methodologies of work through which it is possible to exploit and evaluate a single physical amenity [13]. Burgess et al [12] defined the eight areas for the final aim of 'what you want the equipment to do? ': (1) technical requirements; (2) environmental considerations; (3) sample presentation; (4) data acquisition needs; (5) operability factors; (6) health and safety issues; (7) integration with other equipment or interface with computer application where specified; and (8) cost-benefit analysis.…”

At the same time, holistic [12] and heuristic [14] approaches have been applied to the analysed product areas.…”

Performance qualification of an electronic tongue based on ICH guideline Q2

“…ICH guideline Q2 [20] served as reference to handle the information necessary for establishing a qualified system as well as a valid method. All items mentioned in the guideline were considered and either transferred or, if not applicable, discussed.…”

“…Design qualification (DQ) meaning specification of what exactly the analytical scientist requires the equipment to do, installation qualification (IQ) in which functionality according to the manufacturer's specification is tested, operational qualification (OQ) showing correct working according to the analytical scientist's requirements, and performance qualification (PQ) establishing continuation of operation within the parameters monitored [20]. While IQ and OQ have been investigated and reported in other studies, performance qualification has not been shown for taste sensing systems yet.…”
