• User ID and password required whenever an action affects the security or integrity
of the data
• Electronic signature identifies the user, and includes the date and time of the action
• Data files are encrypted and can only accessed through the AVS software. If the
data is tampered with, the entire data file becomes inaccessible

the Validator AVS program and the Validator AVS instrument. Audit trail files
contain all events and identify the type of action performed, the date and time the
action occurred, the name of the responsible operator, and any additional
information required to understand the action taken.
