Described are techniques for determining a qualification status of a device in a system. An occurrence of a trigger event for the device is determined. The trigger event is caused by an occurrence of any of a time-based event, a performance-based event, a usage-based event, and an unscheduled event. A user notification is provided to perform a first action responsive to the occurrence. The first action is an action to perform any of a maintenance activity, a repair activity, and a test for the device. The qualification status of the device is updated in accordance with said first action. Also described are techniques for more generally determining a compliance status of a device where the compliance status may be related to any one or more of qualification, verification, validation and/or calibration of the device.

Techniques for qualification and maintenance of scientific information system devices

Described are techniques for performing qualification protocol testing. A qualification entity category is selected indicating a category of an entity for which a qualification test protocol is generated. One or more qualification tests are selected and included in the qualification test protocol. Test information is specified for the one or more qualification tests. The test information includes first information identifying one or more code modules executed to perform said one or more qualification tests, second information identifying test inputs to said one or more code modules, and third information specifying how to evaluate tests results from executing each of said one or more qualification tests. A qualification protocol structure including said test information is generated.
