5 Transmit and Monitor Reports

Argus Safety provides utilities that enable you to schedule and transmit E2B reports. Using these utilities, you can also track the status of the transmitted E2B reports.

5.1 Schedule Reports

Argus Safety enables you to schedule your E2B, eMDR and eVAERS reports. In addition, it allows you to generate these reports that comply with the adverse event reporting requirements of different regulatory agencies.

Note:

When you generate an E2B report, some characters entered by the user in the case form may not be display in the same way in the E2B report. Some characters are represented differently in the E2B report such as &amp; for (&), &lt; for (<), &gt; for (>), &apos; for (') and &quot; for (") as per XML specifications.

To schedule an E2B report:

  1. Open a case in Argus Safety and click the Regulatory Reports tab.

  2. When the system opens the Regulatory Reports tab, click Schedule New Report from the bottom of the screen.

  3. When the system opens the New Expedited Report Dialog box, enter the relevant information and click OK.

5.1.1 New Expedited Report Dialog Fields

The Schedule New Expedited Report window has a Report Information drop-down list on the top section.

The following table lists and describes the fields in the New Expedited Report Dialog box.

Item Function
Product Select the Company Suspect Product from this drop-down list.
License Number Select the particular license for which the report is to be scheduled.
Destination Select the Regulatory Agency to which the report is to be sent.
Report Form Select the Report Form from this drop down list.
Message Type Select the message type from the drop-down list.

Note: This field is displayed when an E2B or eVAERS report is selected as the Report Form. If the Report Form is selected as eVAERS then the Message type is set to ichicsr and is disabled.

Aware Date Select the Aware date for which the report is required to be scheduled.

Amendment reports can be scheduled by selecting the Aware date which is appended with text (A).

Group If you want to assign the report to a specific group, the group can be selected from this drop down list.
Notes This field is directly mapped to the License but you can modify this field to put in extra notes, as desired.
Protect confidentiality of Reporter and Patient Select this checkbox if you do not wish to disclose the identity of the reporter and the patient in the report.
Due Date You can decide to schedule a report to be due in either 5, 15, or 30 days or any number of days or even on any specific date.

Note:

Product, License Number, Destination, Report Form (E2B), and Due Date must be entered in the New Expedited Report Dialog to schedule an E2B report.

5.1.2 Nullification Reports

The system can automatically schedule, generate, and transmit a Nullification Report under the following circumstances:

  • When a case is deleted and an E2B Report is submitted to a reporting destination based on the Profile switch for sending E2B nullifications.

  • When an E2B report is submitted and marked as unsubmitted from Reports | Compliance | Submitted Reports:

    • The Reason for Unsubmitting the report is sent as the nullification reason for the report.

    • If the user selects the Send Nullification on Unsubmission of E2B Reports check box, the system also sends a nullification to the reporting destination where the E2B Report was previously submitted.

    • If the user does not select the Send Nullification on Unsubmission of E2B Reports check box, the system does not send a nullification to the reporting destination where the E2B Report was previously submitted unless the user deletes the case.

    • If a previous nullification for the E2B Report or an unsubmitted report is sent for a case and the case is deleted at a later date, the system does not send a duplicate nullification for the previous report.

    • When the system generates the Nullification report, the system updates the following E2B items with updated values from the previous report.

    Updated E2B Items Update Content
    M.1.4/ N.1.2 System uses a different unique number from that used in the last report.
    M.1.7a System enters the message date format.
    M.1.7b / N.1.5 System enters the message date.
    M.2 System increments this value every time it transmits the report.
    A.1.3a System enters the message date format.
    A.1.3b/C.1.2 System enters the message date.
    A.1.13/C.1.11.1 System enters 1=Yes on the Nullification report.
    A.1.13.1/C.1.11.2 System enters the reason for the Nullification report.
    J.2 System increments this value every time it transmits the report.
    J.4b System enters the PMDA Acknowledgement Number.
    J.5 System increments this value every time it submits the report.
    J.6 System will enter 1. 1 means that it is a completion report.
    J.7 System will remove the value of this tag, if it was present in the previous report.

  • When you accept a Nullification report, the system creates an Action Item in the case. The action item tells you that the system will delete the case if you click OK on the acceptance Dialog for all unarchived cases.

    • Action Item is a type-ahead field and its default is blank.

    • The field is populated with values from the action item configured in the code List.

    • You can assign the number of days until the action item is due in the Due In field. The system enables this field after you select an Action Item type.

    • The system calculates the due date as follows: System Date (local client date) + Due In number of days.

    • The system puts the System Date (local client date) in the Date field.

  • When creating the action item, you can select a value from the Code List and the Action Item Description. The system uses the following format: Nullification: xxx

    where:

    xxx is the value entered in the Notes field.

  • By default, the system assigns the action item to the user group in the User Group field.

    • There can be a maximum of 25 user groups in the drop-down list.

    • The system performs a like search when you select a value in the User Group field.

    • If the User Group field is blank, the system does not assign the action item.

    • This is enabled after you select an action item.

  • If you do not select an action item, the system does not create an action item for the case.

  • If you accept multiple cases, the system creates action items for all accepted cases.

  • The system skips open, locked, or archived cases or cases you don't have permission to access.

  • If the system archives a case while you are accepting the nullification report, the system displays the Archived Case Dialog to enable you to open the archived case.

  • After you reopen the case, the system displays the Accept Nullification E2B Dialog.

  • If you do not have permission to reopen an archived case, the system displays the following message:

    You do not have permission to Re-Open an archived/closed case.

  • Nullification reports are not scheduled for eMDR.

5.1.3 Follow-Up eMDR Reports

If an eMDR report is manually scheduled or automatically scheduled for the same reporting Destination, system either schedules Initial or Follow-up report based on the same logic (product license ID and status of previously scheduled report) that is currently existing for Device reports.

If the case was previously submitted to a Reporting Destination as MedWatch Device report and if the same reporting destination is configured for sending eMDR report:

  1. System schedules the next eMDR as a follow-up report and displays the follow-up numbering in the Case Form ' Regulatory Reports ' Seq field by considering the previously reported MedWatch device report.

  2. System uses the same report number (F.2 or G.9) that was used in MedWatch Device report in eMDR for the data element ufimporterrepnumber(F2) or mfrreportnumber (G9).

  3. Follow-up number that is populated in (F7 uffollowupnumber or G7 gfollowupnumber) shall be incremented from (F7 or G7) of the previously submitted MedWatch Device report by considering the internal common profile switch Allow generation of Report.

Example : If F/p 1 report was submitted as 0000555-2014-00011 to CDRH in MedWatch format and the next follow-up report in eMDR format, then Mfr Report # shall be populated as 0000555-2014-00011 and F/p number as 2.

If the previous report was sent by eMDR and the subsequent report is being sent as MedWatch Device to the same destination, the system shall maintain the report numbering (F2 or G9) same as of previously submitted eMDR.

  1. System schedules a follow-up report by populating Follow-up' in the Case Form Regulatory Reports' Seq column.

  2. System uses the same report number (F2 or G9) from the previously submitted eMDR report in the F2 or G9 of MedWatch Device report.

  3. Follow-up number that is populated in (F7 or G7) is incremented from (F7 uffollowupnumber or G7 gfollowupnumber) of the previously submitted eMDR report by considering the internal common profile switch Allow generation of Report.

  4. The MedWatch Device scheduled after the eMDR report does not respect the Common Profile Switch "Data to print on follow up MedWatch Device form "and system displays a warning message during manual scheduling of report as Delta data will not be printed MedWatch Device form for this Device license as it was previously submitted as an eMDR. In case automatic scheduling, this warning message is logged against the report without impacting report scheduling or generation.

Example : If F/p 1 report was submitted as 0000555-2014-00011 to CDRH in eMDR format and the next follow-up report in eMDR report fails due to some reason and company decides to send them in MedWatch device format, then MedWatch report shall print Mfr Report # as 0000555-2014-00011 and F/p number as 2

System includes complete data in follow-up eMDR as the other E2B (R3) reports.

Note:

Common Profile Switch Data to print on follow up MedWatch Device form does not have any impact on eMDR follow-ups.

Downgrade report is scheduled automatically if the F/UP version does not satisfy the Regulatory Reporting Rules defined for eMDR for a case that was previously submitted in eMDR.

Follow-up eMDR is scheduled automatically if the Significant F/UP version is marked as Amendment for a case that was previously submitted in eMDR (existing functionality for non E2B (R3) reports).

Nullification reports are not scheduled for eMDR.

5.1.4 Follow-up eVAERS Reports

If an eVAERS report is manually scheduled or automatically scheduled for the same reporting Destination, system either schedules Initial or Follow-up report based on the same logic (product license type and status of previously scheduled report) that is currently existing for E2B reports.

If the case was previously submitted to a Reporting Destination in VAERS PDF format and if the same reporting destination is configured for sending eVAERS report:

  1. System schedules the next eVAERS as a follow-up report and displays the follow-up numbering in the Case Form ' Regulatory Reports ' Seq field by considering the previously reported VAERS.

  2. If any Follow-up reports are scheduled to the same destination at a later point of time, system schedules a follow-up report by populating'Follow-up<##> in Case Form Regulatory Reports Seq column.

  3. System uses Case Number (as printed in the Manufacturer Control Number (that is listed in Box 24) of the previously submitted VAERS report) in data elements C.1.1. and C.1.8.1.

If a reporting destination is configured for eVAERS and VAERS reports and if the previous report was sent in eVAERS format and if the subsequent report is scheduled in VAERS PDF format to the same destination:

  1. System schedules an initial report by populating Initial' in the Case Form Regulatory Reports Seq column.

  2. If any Follow-up reports are scheduled to the same destination at a later point of time, system schedules a follow-up report by populating Follow-up<##> in Case Form Regulatory Reports Seq column.

  3. System does not use (C.1.1) from the previously submitted eVAERS report as the Manufacturer Control Number of VAERS report.

Note:

If user tries to generate eVAERS and VAERS in parallel for a Case, then system has different MCN for eVAERS and VAERS reports for the same case.

Downgrade report is scheduled automatically if the Significant F/UP version does not satisfy the Regulatory Reporting Rules defined for eVAERS for a case was submitted in eVAERS.

System auto-schedules Amendment report instead of a follow-up report for a Reporting Destination configured with eVAERS profile, when:

a. eVAERS report was previously submitted to the same Reporting Destination for the same license type

b. if the latest record in the 'Amendment / Follow-up section' of Case Form ' General is an Amendment and the Amendment record was created for previously submitted eVAERS report

System auto-schedules a Nullification report instead of follow-up report for a Reporting Destination configured with eVAERS, under the same conditions ( Case deletion and manually scheduling Nullification from Reports Compliance Submitted Reports Schedule Nullification) as per current functionality on Nullification reports for E2B profiles.

When Nullification report is generated, following data element items have updated values from the previous report.

  • N.1.2 batchmessagenumb

  • N.1.5 batchmessagedate

  • N.2.r.4 messagecreationdate

  • C.1.2 transmissiondater3

  • C.1.11.1 casenullification

  • C.1.11.2 nullificationreason

5.2 Generate Reports

Use the following procedure to generate a scheduled report.

  1. E2B, eMDR and eVAERS report scan be manually generated by clicking the draft/final links in the row that corresponds to the scheduled E2B Report in In the Regulatory Reports tab. The report is generated and can be viewed in the ICSR Viewer. If a validation error occurs during E2B report generation, the validation details are stored in the Report Details Dialog.

  2. E2B, eMDR and eVAERS reports are generated by AG Services for a locked case which has scheduled E2B report.

Note:

The system allows you to generate E2B reports through AG Service irrespective of the your access rights for blinded information. However, the Blind protected users are not allowed to view E2B reports despite having an Argus Interchange license. If such a user tries to view the E2B report, the system generates the message: Report is generated but system is unable to show the report as user is protected from study information.

5.3 Attachments in Reports

Case Form Attachments are sent to Reporting Destination with the E2B (R2) report as described below:

  1. If attachment classification in the case is specified in the Reporting Destination, system reads such Attachments and converts .XLS, .TXT, .TIF, .DOC, .RTF, .PNG, .JPG or .BMP them into PDF and combine with the PDF attachments if any in the case.

  2. The single merged PDF has each attachment which is merged available as a link (bookmark) by the classification name provided for the attached file.

  3. Attachments are sent only if there is a E2B report sent out for that Agency. Attachments are not sent for nullification reports.

Note:

While transmitting attachments using the FDA profile in the E2B (R2) format, the system places the attachment file (PDF file created by merging all relevant attachments) in the configured Attachment folder (Reporting Destination > EDI tab > ICSR Attachment Outgoing folder) only after receiving a positive ACK for the ICSR submitted in the E2B (R2) format as an Initial or Follow-up report.

The placement of Attachment files in configured folder after receipt of Positive Ack is done only for E2B (R2) generated using FDA E2B (R2) profile (CFG_PROFILE.AUTHORITY_ID=2.

The system retains the ICSR Attachment in the Outgoing folder if a negative acknowledge is received for an ICSR.

Case Form Attachments are sent to the Reporting Destination with E2B (R3) report as described below:

  1. Case Form Attachments are embedded within the ICSR sent in report formats such as E2B (R3), eVAERS and eMDR.

  2. Attachments are encoded in the B64 format and sent in the report. The selection of attachments is based on Reporting Destination configuration.

  3. Attachments for E2B(R3) are compressed using the compression algorithm configured before embedding them to ICSR. The default algorithm used is DF (Deflate). Attachments are not compressed in eVAERS and eMDR reports.

  4. Attachments that were sent out in previous submissions are not sent in Follow-up submission of E2B (R3), eVAERS and eMDR reports (only new and updated attachments are sent in Follow-up reports).

5.4 Transmit Reports

5.4.1 Transmit ICSR Reports

Argus Safety enables you to simultaneously submit multiple adverse event reports to ease the submission process.

5.4.4.3 Validation Check of Incoming Message

Prior to updating the transmission status of the reports, the application identifies the type of incoming message and validates the incoming message. The ICSR service processes all the incoming messages located in a folder either in incoming EDI directory or physical media directory. Incoming ICSR Messages are retrieved as SGML from a shared directory. The incoming folder is configurable in Argus Interchange Mapping Utility. ICSR message is parsed to check the validity of the SGML file using the correct version of DTD. The incoming message is saved after checking that message is in compliance with DTD.

The recipient of the ICSR message acknowledges receipt of message and notifies the sender about the validity and usability of the data in the reports. The acknowledgment message is called as ICSR Acknowledgment Message. When a message is acknowledged, workflow status of the ICSR report is updated with one of the following three status:

  • All reports loaded into recipient database

  • ICSR Error, not all reports loaded into database

  • SGML parsing error no data extracted

The acknowledgement contains two sections, one concerning the validity of the message as a whole and the second containing comments on the validity of the individual reports within the message. Create a folder and configure it through the Argus Interchange Mapping Utility, where all the incoming messages can be stored. The Interchange service processes the received message and moves it in the Archive folder.

The message is validated based on the ICH ICSR acknowledgement specifications and the format of the message identified by DTD version. Correctness of receiver and sender identifier present in the message header is also validated to verify that the message is not sent to the wrong recipient.

The content of the message is validated based on the following:

  • Required Data

  • Data Type

  • Data Length

  • Field Value

The system identifies message type (acknowledgement) and the DTD version of the message. If the application is unable to identify the message type or DTD version, then the error is logged in the log table and further processing is stopped. The application sends an email to configured email address indicating the failure to read the message.

Application checks for the presence of the duplicate in the system based on the &rsquor;Sender identifier' and &rsquor;Acknowledgement Message Tracking #'. Processing of the acknowledgement is stopped, if duplicate message is found in the database and an error is logged into the log table.

The following table describes the error messages and reasons for the occurrence of corresponding errors.

Process Error message Possible Reason of error
Read the Incoming message from the folder XML File not in path. File is removed.
Identification of the incoming message type <<File Name>> not a valid XML File File format is not as per ICH guidelines.
