Life-science quality management

Your team qualifies the equipment. LS QMS runs the record.

Equipment qualification still runs on binders, tabs and memory. Ohtari LS QMS turns it into one controlled digital workflow — equipment registration through IQ, OQ and PQ execution, evidence capture, exception handling, review and electronic approval.

The problem

Qualification isn't slow because the protocol is long.

Thirty-page protocols are not the problem by themselves. The problem is the work around them — data entry, evidence collection, reviews, exceptions, and knowing what is actually done.

01 / PAPER

Documentation lives everywhere

Protocols in one binder, results in a spreadsheet, evidence in a shared drive, approvals in email. Reconstructing a single record takes hours.

02 / EXECUTION

Data is captured twice

Measurements are written on paper, then transcribed. Every transcription is another place a value can drift away from what was actually observed.

03 / CONTROL

Status is a guess

What is complete, what failed, what is waiting on review, and which equipment is still unqualified — none of it is visible without asking someone.

One controlled workflow

From equipment to approved record.

The full qualification lifecycle lives in one place, with status and evidence attached to the work rather than filed next to it.

01

Register the equipment

Create the device record — identifier, location, manufacturer, model, criticality and the qualification requirements that apply to it.
Asset IDCriticalityRequirements
02

Execute IQ

Verify installation, configuration, utilities and supporting documentation against the approved installation qualification protocol.
Installation checksDocumentationAttachments
03

Execute OQ

Run operational tests step by step against defined acceptance criteria, recording measured results as the test is performed.
Acceptance criteriaMeasured resultsExceptions
04

Execute PQ

Document performance under intended operating conditions, with the runs, observations and supporting evidence held against the record.

05

Review and approve

Route the completed qualification through controlled review, resolve open exceptions, apply electronic approval and close the record.

The platform

The work goes digital. The record stays controlled.

A purpose-built operating layer for equipment qualification and validation teams — protocols, execution, evidence, review and reporting in a single system.

01 / ProtocolsLive

Digital qualification protocols

replaces the printed protocol packet

Convert approved IQ, OQ and PQ procedures into structured execution workflows that guide the user through each required section in order.

02 / ExecutionLive

Evidence at the point of work

replaces transcription from paper

Capture measurements, observations, results and supporting attachments directly against the applicable test step, as it is executed.

03 / CriteriaLive

Acceptance criteria & exceptions

replaces the exception spreadsheet

Define expected results up front and surface failed steps and open exceptions while the qualification is running, not at report time.

Review & electronic approval

replaces the email approval chain

Route completed qualification records through controlled review and electronic approval, with reviewer, approver and date held on the record.

05 / TraceabilityLive

Traceable activity history

replaces "who changed this?"

Maintain a history of record creation, changes, approvals and qualification activity, attributable to the user who performed it.

06 / ReportingLive

Qualification reports

replaces rebuilding the report by hand

Generate consistent qualification documentation from the completed digital record, with results and evidence already attached.

Device libraries

Start with the equipment you already qualify.

Build reusable qualification templates per equipment type, so the second centrifuge takes a fraction of the effort the first one did.

Biological Safety Cabinet

Class II Type A2 cabinets used for containment and aseptic laboratory operations, with airflow and certification requirements.

Laboratory Refrigerator

Controlled-temperature storage for reagents, samples, standards and clinical materials, including mapping and alarm verification.

Questions

Answers before the call.

Do we have to rewrite our protocols?+
No. Your approved protocol content stays yours — LS QMS turns it into a structured execution workflow with the same sections, tests and acceptance criteria, so the executed record follows the procedure you already control.
What about qualifications already in progress?+
Teams typically start with new qualifications and the next scheduled requalifications, keeping in-flight paper executions on their existing path. Completed historical records can be registered against the equipment for reference.
How does this handle failed steps and exceptions?+
A step that misses its acceptance criteria is flagged where it happens, stays visible on the record, and carries its explanation and resolution through review — instead of being tracked in a separate spreadsheet.
Can it cover equipment types beyond the examples?+
Yes. Qualification templates are defined per equipment type, so the library grows with the devices your site actually qualifies — laboratory, production, storage and controlled-environment equipment alike.
How long does it take to get running?+
Ohtari deploys with your team rather than handing over a login. The usual starting point is one equipment type and one protocol set, running end to end, before the library is expanded.
