Analytical data generated by one employee can be reprocessed by another employee without the knowledge or consent of the original employee. For example, the analytical data generated for Celestone Soluspan Suspension, lots # 0-AHU-55 and 0-AHU-56 by one employee was invalidated and reprocessed by a second employee. The original employee denied knowledge of the reprocessing of the data. The computer record listed the original employee as sole owner of the record and did not indicate that any other individual entered or changed the record. There is no record to determine the identity of the individual who reprocessed the data.
