GlobalCompliancePanel Medical device companies have done some form of design risk management for many years, although with the introduction of ISO 14971, the techniques have evolved and improved. The area of Post-design Risk Management is new to the medical device world with the introduction of ISO 14971. Companies are attempting to interpret and apply these new requirements with mixed results. In addition are the changing requirements of regulatory bodies in the postmarket phase of the device lifecycle.

ComplianceOnline This Quality System Regulation training we will review the sections of Quality system regulations, design control regulations which FDA uses as an inspection tool. Actual FDA investigator training methods related to design control inspections. Real life examples of FDA design control compliance issues will be examined.
ComplianceOnline In this Effective Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) training learn how to develop a comprehensive, consistent SOP. The critical elements of a SOP which is easier to understand follow and review by operating personnel.
GlobalCompliancePanel On July 8, 2010, the FDA announced to soon conduct a series of inspections related to 21 CFR Part 11. FDA made it very clear that the focus of the inspections will on most critical issues the industry had with Part 11 in the past. The best way to find out what the issues are is to look at recent FDA 483 form inspectional observations and warning letters related to computer system validation and Part 11 compliance. Just from 2007-2010, there have already been more than 30 such warning letters, some with disastrous consequences for inspected companies. This seminar will give an overview of FDA inspection findings and recommendations on how to avoid them.
ComplianceOnline In this webinar our expert trainer Jeff Kasoff will explain the best way to identify which employees can be the most effective auditors and how to train them.

Prep Session for the Certified Patient Safety Officer Exam The International Board for Certification of Safety Managers (also known as the BCHCM), offers a prep session for the Certified Patient Safety Officer (CPSO) exam.
The CPSO exam focuses on topics such as culture, communication, patient safety goals, sound care practices, and coordination of patient safety-related initiatives. The exam assesses a candidate's comprehension and application of the key concepts necessary to lead, coordinate, develop, implement, or support patient safety programs.
GlobalCompliancePanel Do you like to keep up with current industry trends? Are you interested in the future of analytical method development and qualification? Are you curious to see how a QbD approach could also work for analytical methods? Would you like to see more robust methods resulting in fewer OOS results? If you answered yes to any of the above questions then this seminar is for you.
GlobalCompliancePanel In the medical device world, the US FDA has become more aggressive in enforcement of the regulations for manufacturers and others. The FDA has stated they will be quicker to issue Warning Letters to device companies, and evidence shows that is the case.
The presentation will show techniques that may be used with publically available information to follow FDA's current practices and predict how the manufacturer may act to avoid a Warning Letter.
ComplianceOnline This 510(k) webinar training will discuss how to do a meaningful result drive 510(k)/change analysis activity so as to satisfy FDA requirements.
GlobalCompliancePanel The U.S. FDA implemented Design Control requirements in 1996/97, and yet continues to find problems in the key design control document, the Design History File (DHF). Yet this drives the Device Master Record as well as providing major support for the EU MDD's Technical File / Design Dossier. What are the FDA expectations for the DHF under Design Control? What are the EU MDD / Notified Body's expectations for the complementary TF / DD? How are they similar? What are the important differences? In what ways are they moving together under Harmonization? Evaluate some of the key inputs to both, which should form the basis for SOP's explaining the development of each.
ComplianceOnline In this Laboratory Investigation training learn what constitutes an OOS observation, what are the guidance’s process & Steps to be taken in the laboratory in the event of an OOS observation.
