Acquisition of Watchdog Monitoring System

 描述（由申请人提供）： 基础科学VA研究人员在我们的设施需要使用动物为他们的研究计划。本申请是对Edstrom自动环境监测和数据收集系统的要求，该系统将安装在我们新建的动物饲养场中。这是一个集成的“交钥匙”系统，将能够通过使用一套专门设计的传感器来监测我们的动物园环境的各个方面，这些传感器可以检测每个动物房中的温度，湿度，气流，压差和照明水平，以及我们11个动物园房间中每个房间的人员访问。收集的信息存储在服务器上，随时可用于生成历史报告。最后，看门狗系统软件是21 CFR第11部分（电子记录和电子签名FDA代码部分），其中系统生成的电子记录值得信赖、可靠，通常等同于纸质记录和在纸上执行的手写签名。总括而言，该系统不仅有助于保护动物免受环境变化的影响，提高我们动物设施的安全性，并有助于遵守动物监管机构，包括OLAW，AAALAC和ORO。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Basic science VA investigators at our facility require the use of animals for their research programs. This application is a request for the Edstrom Automated Environmental Monitoring and Data Collection System which for installation in our newly constructed vivarium. This is an integrated "turnkey" system will be able to monitor various aspects of our vivarium environment using by using a suite of specially designed sensors that detect temperature, humidity, airflow, differential pressure and lighting levels in each of the animal rooms, as well as access of personnel in each of our 11 vivarium rooms. The gathered information is stored on the server and readily available for generating historical reports. Finally, the Watchdog System software that is 21 CFR part 11 (Electronic Record and Electronic Signature FDA Code Section), in which electronic records generated by the system are trustworthy, reliable, and generally equivalent to paper records and handwritten signatures executed on paper. In summary, this system will not only help to protect animals from environmental changes, enhance the security of our animal facility and assist in maintaining compliance with animal regulatory bodies including OLAW, AAALAC and ORO.
