Raw data is defined as “any laboratory worksheets, records, memorandum, notes that are
the result of original observations and activities and are necessary for the reconstruction
and evaluation of-the report of that study”. Cage cards are not raw data if they contain
information like animal number, study number, study dates, and cage number (information
that is not the result of original observations and that is not necessary for study
reconstruction). However, if an original observation is put on the cage cards, then all cards
must be saved as raw data.
