### Validated import

Requires that the ICSRs in the file capture some administrative and basic information, such as:   

* Report type  
* Reporter identifier  
* Designation/Qualification of the reporter  
* Patient identifier  
* At least one reaction/event – MedDRA coded 
* At least one suspect drug 

### Non-validated import

This option has no requirements for administrative and basic information to be captured in the ICSR.
