What CAPA does

Investigations, action management, and effectiveness in one workflow.

Every CAPA inherits the same workflow engine, 21 CFR Part 11 signatures, and audit trail as every other content type. Linkage to complaints, change requests, and DDF records is native, not a stitched-together export.

Structured investigations

5 Whys, Fishbone, or Fault Tree: IQ drafts a root-cause statement aligned with FDA expectations, paired with corrective and preventive actions.

Effectiveness verification

Built-in effectiveness checks with configurable criteria, sample sizes, and verification windows: closed by signature, not by note.

Linked across the lifecycle

CAPAs link natively to complaints, change requests, DDF records, training assignments, and SOPs. Traceability is a property of the platform.

21 CFR Part 11 signatures, everywhere they belong

Author, Review, Approve, Concur: bound cryptographically to the record revision, with meaning and intent captured at the moment of signing.

Live KPI dashboards

Open vs. overdue, time-to-close, cycle time by source, recurrence by product: saved views drill into the underlying records, not a stale export.

LuminLogic IQ embedded

Suggest Root Cause, Summarize Folder, Gap Analysis vs. 21 CFR Part 820, every IQ interaction logged to the audit trail next to the record it touched.

See it in the product

A CAPA, from open to closed.

Step through the record the way your team will, investigation, root cause, actions, and effectiveness, all in one workflow.

Investigationin CAPA · intake

Open, classify, and understand: fast.

Triggered from a complaint, NCR, or audit finding. LuminLogic IQ summarizes the issue, links related records, and recommends an investigation method.

  • Severity & product classification drive routing
  • Linked records assemble the evidence base
  • IQ drafts the summary, you stay in control
Root cause5 Whys · Fishbone

Structured analysis, not guesswork.

Work the root cause with 5 Whys, Fishbone, or Fault Tree, with the evidence right beside you and every step captured to the audit trail.

  • Method-guided analysis
  • Evidence linked to each step
  • Root cause captured to the audit trail
ActionsOwners · signatures

Actions with owners, dates, and gates.

CAPA actions become assigned items with owners, due dates, and 21 CFR Part 11 signature gates, and stay linked to the complaints and changes they touch.

  • Clear ownership and due dates
  • 21 CFR Part 11 signature gates
  • Dynamic links across records
EffectivenessVerify & close

Prove it worked, then close.

Verify effectiveness against configurable criteria, check for recurrence, and route closure for signature: locked to the audit trail.

  • Configurable effectiveness criteria
  • Trend check for recurrence
  • Signed closure, locked record
Your CAPA command center

Every CAPA, in one live view.

Open vs. overdue, cycle time, on-time closure, and the records behind them. Saved views drill straight into the live record, and IQ surfaces shared root causes across the queue.

How it works

A CAPA, end to end.

Out-of-the-box workflow ships ready for ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 820, and admins can tune it themselves. No consultant required.

1

Open & classify

Triggered from a complaint, NCR, audit finding, or directly. Severity, source, and product classification drive routing.

2

Investigate

IQ-assisted root cause with 5 Whys, Fishbone, or Fault Tree. Linked records assemble the evidence base automatically.

3

Act

Corrective and preventive actions become assigned action items with owners, due dates, and signature gates.

4

Verify & close

Effectiveness verification with configurable criteria. Closure routed for signature and locked to the audit trail.
