Course Description:
The US medical device regulations include Part 820, the Quality System Regulation, but extend far beyond them. In order to understand the regulations, you need to look at more than just the quality management system. This course provides an overview and shows how the parts of the regulations fit together.
The seminar will help you understand the four major parts of the US regulatory structure: laws regulations, guidance, and consensus standards. Risk class and the panels, established by law, characterize medical devices in the US. Device types fall under regulations and product codes that determine the available conformity assessment paths and provide requirements for specific cases.
The Quality System Regulation, in Part 820, provides the quality management system required to market medical devices in the US. Device design, production, installation, and servicing fall under Part 820. This part of the regulations include management responsibility for the system, design requirements, purchasing, manufacturing processes and controls, release for distribution, record keeping, etc.
After release, a device is subject to a variety of other requirements ranging for complaint management to medical device reports to recalls. Each of these requirements is in a separate part of the regulations.
This course provides a comprehensive view of the regulatory requirements to help you understand the whole picture and provide effective implementation for your company.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn the law, regulations, and policies that FDA applies for medical device.

Local Attractions

San Diego Cabrillo National Monument
The first European to set foot in California was the Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who stepped on shore near this spot in in 1542. He's the guy they made this statue to look like - and named the park after. We don't know if Cabrillo climbed all the way up to the top of this promontory or not, but people who make up here nowadays get some of the best views of San Diego, looking across the Bay and back toward downtown.

Sea Creatures at Birch Aquarium
Birch Aquarium is north of San Diego in La Jolla. It's not as big as some of the other aquariums in California or as flashy as the big sea-themed park down the road, but instead just right, filled with interesting exhibits and home to leafy sea dragons like the one above, creatures so improbably they look more like something from a children's book than from the ocean.

Legoland
Legoland theme park takes its inspiration from Lego toys, those cute little bricks that snap together to build all kinds of fun things. It's one of several Legolands worldwide.

San Diego Zoo Safari Park
The San Diego Zoo's sister park offers a different kind of animal experience. Its name (Safari Park) is the clue and it indeed offers a more safari-like experience. Lots of large animals live in the same big, open areas here - predators kept away from prey, but otherwise much as they would in their natural habitat.

Coronado Island
Coronado isn't really an island but a peninsula - a fact that doesn't get in the way of the name most people use for it. Whatever you call it, it's on a slender strip of land between the San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, barely a few blocks wide. What it lacks in size it makes up for in fun, with a beach that's been named among the best in the country, a classic hotel and a compact, lively little downtown. Coronado's laid-back temperament makes a nice break from the busier parts of San Diego across the water.

Balboa Park
Originally built for temporary use during the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego, Balboa Park boasts buildings beautiful enough to be considered attractions in themselves, especially if you're a photographer. They're surrounded by trees, lawns and fountains, but that's only the beginning.

La Jolla
In Spanish, La Jolla means "the jewel," an apt name for a pretty, Mediterranean-style seaside town - sitting on cliffs flanking the ocean.
La Jolla visitors like to shop and eat in the nice restaurants, some of them with lovely ocean views. There's a lot for the active visitor, too, including ocean kayaking, tide pool-hopping, surfing at Windansea Beach, biking or running along the waterfront.
