A computerized system, INQUIRE, was developed to manage experimental animal authorizations and deliveries in Switzerland. This system ensures compliance with legal requirements and efficient tracking of animal orders and experimenter data.

Area of Science:

  • Animal research management
  • Biotechnology
  • Regulatory compliance

Background:

  • Swiss regulations and internal Roche procedures necessitate robust systems for experimental animal acquisition.
  • A computerized system is essential for monitoring authorizations and animal deliveries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of the INQUIRE software system.
  • To detail how INQUIRE facilitates compliance with animal research regulations and manages animal data.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of the INQUIRE software on a central computer.
  • Creation of interconnected databases for personnel (PERI), authorizations (BEWI), orders (ORDR), deliveries (SPED), species (SPEC), strains (STRE), populations (POPU), and data management (BARA).
  • Utilizing the BEWI database for sequential searches and updating ORDR to prevent exceeding authorized animal quotas.

Main Results:

  • The INQUIRE system enables effective monitoring of authorizations and animal deliveries.
  • Databases provide comprehensive information on personnel, authorizations, orders, species, strains, and populations.
  • The system ensures authorized animal quotas are not exceeded and identifies unregistered experimenters or expired authorizations.
  • Experimenters gain an overview of ordered animals and can select appropriate strains/populations based on genetic and physiological data.

Conclusions:

  • The IFIS project, utilizing INQUIRE, simplifies adherence to animal experimentation laws.
  • The system allows for real-time data updates and comprehensive evaluation of all animal research data.
