Laboratories

Ensuring continuity in a highly controlled environment

In a laboratory, it is essential to have a quality management system in place, as you must comply with strict quality criteria and legislation and regulations. Procedures and experiments are carefully recorded, any deviations are critically examined, and periodic checks and inspections reveal any areas for improvement. In addition, you must demonstrate compliance with standards such as ISO 15189 and ISO 17025. A quality management system ensures continuity and allows you to better manage risks.

Zenya helps you with this. You gain control over quality with one reliable, integrated solution. With Zenya, your laboratory complies with all requirements in the field of quality and risk management.

Zenya in practice

What Zenya does for laboratories

Support with laboratory-specific standards

Does your medical laboratory need to comply with ISO 15189? If so, high standards are set for quality and competence. Among other things, it is important to have document management, staff authorisations, equipment management and the improvement cycle in order.

Zenya supports laboratories in complying with ISO 15189 by digitally securing processes and documentation relating to quality and patient safety. With Zenya, you can manage protocols, procedures and SOPs centrally and version-controlled, including read confirmation. Deviations and complaints are recorded in a structured manner and followed up according to established CAPA workflows. Risk management and internal audits are also easy to plan, execute and monitor.

Equipment management and maintenance taken care of from A to Z

There are many devices in use in a laboratory. These include microscopes, incubators, autoclaves, stirrers and hot plates. It is important that these function properly, but managing and maintaining all devices and machines is a lot of work.

Zenya makes this process simple and reliable. Using the Zenya Card file, you can register equipment, including accompanying manuals, maintenance and calibration schedules. Employees can use a QR or NFC code to directly access the correct document or report form, for example in the event of a malfunction. That malfunction can be automatically linked to a deviation, ensuring a smooth follow-up and that nothing is overlooked.

Optimal traceability for reliable results and audits

When conducting laboratory research, you want the results to be as accurate and reliable as possible. That is why it is important to know the origin of the results: what materials were used, what samples were taken and what process steps were taken.

Zenya enhances traceability within laboratories. All process steps, measurement values, document versions and assessors involved are recorded in a structured manner. This creates a complete and reliable audit trail, enabling laboratories to easily demonstrate who did what and when, which is exactly what is needed for evidence and successful completion of audits.

Well-managed change control

Change management is important in laboratories because every change — whether it concerns a method, device or work instruction — can affect the reliability of results. With good change management, every adjustment is carefully assessed, approved and documented before it is implemented. This ensures quality and compliance with accreditation requirements such as ISO 15189 or ISO 17025.

Zenya offers control over change management. With our solution, change requests are processed step by step, including multi-level approval and automatic recording of every action. This keeps the entire process clear, traceable and fully audit-proof.

Frequently asked questions

Any questions? We are happy to help

Can we use Zenya alongside our LIMS system?

Yes, that is perfectly possible. Zenya is not a replacement for a LIMS, but a valuable addition. Whereas the LIMS focuses on the actual lab data and analyses, Zenya focuses on the quality and risk management surrounding it, such as document management, deviations, audits and CAPAs. Both systems can function well alongside each other.

How does Zenya help us comply with ISO 15189 or ISO 17025?

Zenya supports laboratories in setting up and maintaining a quality management system in accordance with the requirements of ISO 15189 (medical laboratories) and ISO 17025 (testing and calibration laboratories). This includes version-controlled document management, registration of deviations and CAPAs, risk management, internal audits and employee competence registration. Everything is recorded in a traceable manner and easy to report for accreditations.

Can you prepare audits and inspections with Zenya?

Yes. With Zenya you can plan, conduct and track internal audits entirely digitally. You can prepare questionnaires or checklists in advance, record observations and findings, and link improvement actions. All information is automatically logged, so you are always prepared for external inspections or accreditation audits.

How does Zenya support traceability and evidence?

Zenya records all relevant steps, actions, approvals and versions in a digital audit trail. Whether it concerns a document, deviation, change or risk assessment, you can always see who did what and when. This is necessary for traceability and fits seamlessly with the requirements for evidence in audits or accreditations.

Can we create custom workflows for deviations and CAPAs?

Absolutely. With Zenya, you can set up workflows that fit your processes and accreditation requirements. Think of reporting forms with mandatory fields, automatic task assignments, escalations and defined approval steps. This ensures that deviations and complaints are always handled and followed up in a structured manner.

How can we link notifications to equipment or processes?

When reporting a malfunction or deviation, for example, you can immediately select the relevant equipment or process step in Zenya. This provides a clear overview of which assets are more frequently involved in reports, giving insight into risks and opportunities for improvement. This is also valuable for trend analyses or management reports.

Can we link documents to devices with a QR or NFC code?

Yes. In Zenya, you can create a “card” for each device in the Card file, including manuals, protocols and maintenance schedules. You can link this card to a unique QR or NFC code. When an employee scans it on site, the correct document or report form appears immediately. This eliminates the need for searching and increases safety and compliance.

How does Zenya support change management within the laboratory?

Zenya allows you to manage change requests (change control) in a structured manner. Each request goes through predetermined steps, such as risk assessment, approval at various levels and action planning. Each step is automatically logged, so that the entire process is traceable. This makes change control transparent and audit-proof.

What implementation and management support do we get?

As a client with Zenya, you go through the following four set steps:

  1. Kickstart: in an intake meeting, we sharply map out what is already going well and where opportunities lie.
  2. Go live: we fine-tune the solution and get it ready for use, so you can quickly get started.
  3. Instruction: users receive practical explanations so they can learn how to use the software themselves.
  4. Support: each customer is assigned a dedicated Zenya Customer Success Manager as a point of contact for questions and future optimisations, while our service desk is available for daily support and quick help with technical issues.

This not only gets you up and running quickly, but also keeps ongoing support at your fingertips. In addition, our team of consultants is available for more complex issues or optimisations.
