Step 1: Complete Site Qualification Form (SQF)
SQF needs to be completed on any internet PC/laptop (SQF is not possible via
MasterScope) before the online setup can be performed on the MasterScope.
What is SQF?
Before any site can start working in a clinical trial with ERT systems it is necessary
to register the site in ERT’s My Study Portal (MSP). MSP is ERT’s online system that
provides access to reports, queries, supply ordering and reference materials. In
addition it enables the capability for MasterScope to download and install the most
current software versions.
What do I need to complete SQF?
You will need the study specific SQF PIN (received via e-mail), your Site ID, full
contact information for your Site’s Principal Investigator, Shipping Contact, Report
Receiver, and Query Receiver.
How to complete SQF?
Please see the Site Qualification Form Quick Guide which explains the process for
creating accounts and completing the Site Qualification Form (SQF).
