CTS Rotea Counterflow Centrifugation System Software

Intuitive, user-programmable software

 

A user-friendly graphical user interface controls the CTS Rotea system. Create and optimize protocols for cell separation, washing, and concentration. The Rotea Protocol Builder software guides Rotea users through the protocol development process, while the simulation software helps ensure the protocols created will perform as intended before testing with samples. Additionally, there are software settings which can manage user control of process settings in a cGMP lab.

Software to help enable 21 CFR part 11 compliance

When scaling up to commercial manufacturing, we recommend upgrading one of the two software options available, the CTS Rotea SAE Software or the Gibco CTS Cellmation™ Software for DeltaV Systems to help enable 21 CFR part 11 compliance. Both software options help customers prepare for audit and regulatory filing processes through security, auditing, e-signature functionality while customers maintain the final responsibility for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Security, audit, and e-signature (SAE) software

The Rotea SAE Software is designed for customers who want to upgrade, standalone instruments. The capabilities include password policies, user role designations, role permissions, tracking of actions and information via an audit log, and electronic signature configuration for specific functions. Customer preferences for these SAE settings are managed within the SAE Administrator Console (separate software application), which is recommended to be installed on the co-located Rotea system computer to enable uninterrupted communication between the system and the software for continuous tracking.

Functionality of the SAE Administrator Console

Function Description
System security Controls user access to the software through user IDs, passwords, roles, and permissions. Three default user roles are provided, one with full privileges (Administrator), one with some privileges removed (Lead scientist) and the other with no privileges (Technologist). Default user roles can be edited, and additional user roles and permissions can be created.
Auditing Tracks actions performed by users, and changes to the SAE Admin Console settings. The software automatically audits some actions silently. Select other items for auditing and specify the audit mode. The auditing function provides reports for audited SAE Admin Console changes and actions.
Electronic signature (e-signature) Determines the functions for which users are required to provide a username and password. Configure e-signatures so that a user can export a signed file and print a signed report. In addition, configure the e-signature to require multiple signatures and to require users with specific permissions to sign.

Cellmation software

The Gibco CTS Cellmation Software is an off-the-shelf cell therapy manufacturing solution that provides digital connectivity to DeltaV for a range of modular cell therapy instruments offered by Thermo Fisher Scientific. The open platform allows for flexible management and integration of multiple instruments, streamlining cell therapy workflows and helping to ensure regulatory compliance. Powered by the Emerson DeltaV Distributed Control System (DCS), CTS Cellmation software helps ensure traceable and secure data storage as well as streamlined data management across processes.

Ordering information for available software upgrades

The Rotea SAE Software or the Cellmation Software for DeltaV Systems can be purchased as part of an initial instrument purchase or as a separate, standalone purchase later. Each software option requires a system upgrade service by a member of the Global Service and Support team to enable the software.
