Read Frequently Asked Questions

FDA QSR states, “Each manufacturer shall have sufficient personnel with the necessary education, background, training, and experience to assure that all activities required by this part are correctly performed.” The corresponding requirement in ISO 13485 and ISO 9001, says, “Personnel performing work affecting conformity to product requirements shall be competent on the basis of appropriate education, training, skills, and experience”.

An FDA Inspection or a Notified Body audit will cover the methods you established to determine competency, evaluate employees, and take actions. All of these activities require objective evidence, in the form of records, to demonstrate your QMS operation.
The webinar helps you understand the requirements and provides methods to build an effective system. The presentation defines and explains the critical competency terms: education, training, skills, and experience. These terms apply to people who affect product conformity. The presenter will use FDA Warning Letters to illustrate many of the issues. This gives you an opportunity to learn from others, so your QMS will not have the same issues.

Topic Background:

Medical Device regulations require that manufacturers have enough people to perform all of the required tasks and that everybody is competent to do her job. The regulations also require the four dimensions of competency: education, training, background or skill, and experience.

As a medical device manufacturer, you must define the requirements for each job, evaluate the people in those jobs, develop a gap analysis for each person, and create a plan to close those gaps.

This webinar explains the competency dimensions, using the formal definitions. Many companies find confusion among these four dimensions. In addition to the formal definitions, the webinar explains the differences and illustrates them with examples.

While all four dimensions are equally important, the regulations place special emphasis on training. The manufacturer typically has the greatest control of training, especially related to the company’s policies, processes, procedures, and work instructions. As a result, ISO 13485 requires an effectiveness evaluation of training or other actions to satisfy competency requirements.

This webinar provides the information you need to assure your system is effective and complies with the regulation.
