SafetyCall uses two similar but distinct software tools to document interactions with callers. SafetyNotes™ is our own proprietary electronic data collection tool, and is used for a variety of products such as pesticides, household goods, industrial chemicals, and personal care items. For pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and dietary supplements, PV-Works Pharmacovigilance Software System is used to meet all international regulatory requirements.
PV Works is a validated total pharmacovigilance software solution for the collection, management, assessment, and reporting of adverse events involving drugs, dietary supplements, medical devices and biologicals. PV Works operates on a secured Oracle database platform and has been used by multiple health care product companies globally to process over 2 million ICSRs for submission to regulatory authorities. The key features of PV Works are as follows:
