FDA Regulatory Compliance Training - Live Webinars, Recordings & CDs

This webinar will discuss dealing with supplier change notices. Regulatory agencies have the expectation that a manufacturer has control over its supply chain and dealing with changes to that supply chain can be challenging.

The EU MDR is a comprehensive and complex regulation that combines all aspects of placing certain types of medical devices on the EU market into one regulation. It addresses the obligations of economic operators in this role, and provides for extensive databases, clinical requirements, classifications, conformity, and many defined relationships between agencies, member states, and other directives and regulations.

This webinar deconstructs the many parts of this regulation into the elements of lean documents and lean configuration, providing an opportunity to apply these principles as a way to create and maintain flexibility as this and new harmonized standards and regulations emerge.

In this program, we will discuss the common statistics tools and techniques used in validation. Through real world examples and interactive exercises, we will demonstrate the basic concepts of statistics and how to apply them to your validation projects. Discussion will center around measures of variance, sample distributions, and expressions of variance. The session will conclude with a discussion of the concept of process capability and using process capability to set acceptance criteria for validation.

Design History File (DHF) Remediation using Principles of Lean Documents and Lean Configuration. Does your DHF remediation process resemble the very mess that it is trying to resolve?
The Design History File (DHF) is the objective evidence that a medical device was designed per design control guidance and applicable regulations and standards. While it is retrospective in nature, it is the end result of a process that begins with planning and ends with Design Transfer and has the Device Master Record (DMR) as a deliverable.

Attend this webinar to learn the importance of doing a complete impact assessment prior to implementation of changes under change control. Tools and techniques will be presented to aid in organizing and streamlining impact assessments.

In this Regulatory Audit training participants will gain an understanding of how to prepare for and audit, strategies to conduct and support a successful audit, and ways to respond to audit observations. Special consideration will be given to virtual audits as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

FDA regulates advertising and promotion material as labeling. The legal definition of labeling covers just about anything that explicitly or implicitly conveys a message intended to affect a person’s behavior and decision outcomes. How FDA applies its legal tenants of false and misleading information or variations on that theme requires continual updating by FDA and constant re-evaluation by industry. Now the regulatory landscape involves other federal agencies and academic principles in psychology. It has become very complicated and will prove very costly if you knowingly or unknowing walk into one of FDA’s legal snares. This webinar will bring attendees up to speed so you are clearer about what is a problem, what is not a problem and what becomes a risk laden judgment call.

This training covers DEA record-keeping and security topics that a DEA registrant must comply with when handling controlled substances. The focus is elements of what occurs during that unannounced inspection and the auditing methods.

This Process Validation Requirements webinar will review process validation basics, with emphasis on looking beyond compliance towards achieving a robust process. Review of process validation basics, with emphasis on looking beyond compliance towards achieving a robust process.

This training program will discuss designing an effective cleanroom facility validation protocol and report, when and how to transition into the routine environmental monitoring processes, how to maintain a state of control within the cleanroom, and the routine environmental monitoring and excursion investigation processes.

In this webinar, you will learn why the FDA requires several validation participants from each “distinct user population”. Learn why the FDA requires many validation participants from each "different user demographic" in this webinar. We'll go over how to determine which tests to run and which studies to finish before the actual validation test.

The training program will cover DEA record-keeping requirements and effective security that a DEA registrant must comply with when handling controlled substances. It covers elements of what occurs during an unannounced inspection and the auditing methods.

This webinar will help the attendee gain an understanding of the appropriate way to design the processing of all cGMP Controlled raw materials that are used for the manufacturing of drug product. The scope of this webinar applies to all cGMP controlled raw materials that are received, requiring testing, release and issuance of specifications. It also applies to the processing of changes and retiring of previously issued controlled raw materials specification within the product manufacturing process. cGMP Raw materials that are used for product manufacturing has to be released for use in the production process. Guidance will be given as to the steps that every drug product manufacturer should follow in order to process all incoming cGMP controlled raw materials which includes the release for use in the manufacturing of products.

The FDA requires that manufacturers of pharmaceutical products have a documented process to assess its suppliers and contract manufacturers, that they have implemented that process, and that the process is effective. This training program will explore how having an effective supplier relationship management program will result in streamlining the supply chain, ensuring a more consistent level of quality components, materials and components, and be more cost effective to the manufacturer.

Validation is an important element of the Quality System Regulations and ISO13485. This course will cover the validation essentials for medical device manufacturers. You will learn about what processes needed to be validated and what steps you need to take to validate processes. Validation is a powerful tool in understanding, optimizing, and controlling manufacturing processes. We will cover the essential steps of Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) including tips and best practices.

This training program will provide participants with a working knowledge of supplier audits. The why, when, who, how, and what of conducting a supplier audit will be reviewed to ensure that your supplier can meet all your expectations.

Skilled auditors require a method that aligns what they experienced during the reviewing process with what they compose during the writing process. This report writing workshop will provide foundation resources that participants can continually turn to during intense, complex audit engagements.

This webinar will review the regulatory requirements for investigating an OOS Investigation. The responsibilities of the analyst, the supervisor and QA will be discussed. A detailed flow chart will be used to help the attendees clearly understand the steps and the order in which they are to be performed. The structure of an Investigation report which properly documents the investigation will be discussed.

This webinar will discuss the latest global medical device design controls requirements for software in a medical device (SiMD) and software as a medical device (SaMD). Each requirement pulled from U.S. and global standards and guidance (e.g. IEC 62304, IEC 82304, IMDRF SaMD Guidance, AAMI TIR45) will be explored to fashion a complete picture of activities, document content, and dependencies across a variety of lifecycle development models. The session will also include special topics such as evolving cybersecurity requirements, the relationship of software design controls to non-medical device applications, and proposed regulatory frameworks for AI/ML systems.

This course provides medical device/pharmaceutical professionals with the information they need to prepare for and manage any type of FDA inspection. This course provides the rationale, strategies and flow on how to plan for an inspection, the inspection process and approach, and which company roles should be assigned for these types of inspections, among other related topics.
