This Regulatory Requirements webinar on Medical Device Calibration defines the concepts of accuracy and precision that define the measuring equipment’s requirements. It also explains the meaning of traceability. With these concepts, the webinar moves to an analysis of FDA requirements and ISO 13485 requirements.
Why Should You Attend:
Calibration is an essential component of every Quality Management System (QMS). An effective system includes more than just management of stickers on equipment. This presentation will give you the background need to understand the requirements and effectively implement.
The presentation states with the regulatory requirements in the FDA’s QSR, ISO 13485, and ISO 9001. After analysis of these requirements, the presentation examines available guidance documents.
The FDA issued the Medical Device Quality Systems Manual to help companies implement the Quality system Regulation. Chapter 7 discusses the role of calibration systems in the QMS and helps define the regulatory expectations.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the requirements of the FDA’s QSR for calibration.
- Understand the requirements of ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and their differences.
- Distinguish between accuracy and precision and give an explanation of each term.
- State the FDA’s expectations of a good calibration control system.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- Understanding some metrology terms.
- The concepts of traceability.
- Calibration requirements of FDA QSR.
- Chapter 7 of the FDA’s Quality Systems Manual.
- Calibration requirements of ISO 13485 and ISO 9001.
- Comparing the QSR and ISO systems.
Who Will Benefit:
This seminar is for people involved in the calibration program for medical device manufacturing and design. The principles are larger in scope than medical devices, and apply to all manufacturing processes.
Attendees should understand the concepts of manufacturing processes from the design or production view.People in the following roles can especially benefit from the knowledge in this webinar:
- Quality Managers
- Quality Engineers
- Production Managers
- Production Supervisors
- Manufacturing Engineers
- Production Engineers
- Design Engineers
- Process Owners
