New Medical Device Vigilance Guidelines
David Dills
60 Min
Product Id: 701140
This Medical device training will provide valuable assistance and guidance to all medical device companies and user facilities involved in medical device vigilance. A revised medical device guidance document on post marketing vigilance (MEDDEV 2.12-1 rev 5) was published in April 2007 by the European Commission and came into force on January 1, 2008. The 2007 update provides more guidance than the previous version, introduced in 2001, and includes new reporting terminology and concepts such as periodic summary reporting and trend reporting. In addition, the terms advisory notice, near incident, and recall have been eliminated or replaced.
The vigilance guidelines are part of a set of European medical device guidelines, known as MEDDEV documents, which are intended to promote a common approach by all involved parties on interpreting and complying with the Medical Device Directive. MEDDEV includes new reporting terminology and concepts such as “periodic summary reporting” and “trend reporting.” In addition, the timescale for reporting incidents is stricter. The terms “advisory notice,” “near incident” and “recall” have been eliminated or replaced by the new terms. As with the 2001 version, the new version refers to the incorporation of the views of the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) into the European context.
Maintaining a Sustainable and Compliant Design Validation System and Using FMEA for Device Manufacturers
David Dills
60 Min
Product Id: 701074
This webinar will provide valuable assistance and guidance for medical device companies to ensure they have a well defined, deployed and enforceable design validation program. Did I make the right product and can I prove it is Design Validation! Device manufacturers need to establish and maintain procedures for validating the device design. Design validation has to be performed under defined operating conditions on initial production units, lots, or batches, or their equivalents. Design validation must ensure that the company’s device or devices conform to defined user needs and intended uses and will include testing of production units under actual or simulated use conditions.

Product Id: 701144
This Medical device training will discuss how to design and implement a comprehensive, streamlined reimbursement strategy. Many companies do not have an individual responsible for reimbursement. This is a huge mistake! Medical device reimbursement is the second largest barrier to market entrance. FDA approval/clearance is NOT sufficient to ensure reimbursement. Strategy must be devised early in a product’s lifecycle to maximize reimbursement. Learn how to design and implement a comprehensive, streamlined reimbursement strategy. Learn the basics of coding, coverage and payment activities.
Using ICH Q9 and Recent FDA Comments as the Foundation for the Planning, Development and Execution of Risk-Based Cleaning Validation Studies
John Hyde
90 Min
Product Id: 701184
This Cleaning validation training will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies that need to develop and validate their equipment cleaning processes. This session will address risk-based approaches to cleaning validation studies using ICH Q9 and recent FDA comments and observations as a foundation. Recent FDA warning letters illustrate just how critical good cleaning practices are. Understanding and employing good cleaning practices are instrumental to improving cleaning consistency, quality and traceability. The FDA favors automated CIP systems since they reduce operator variability while enhancing consistency and reproducibility. Our research has indicated that in the last 5 years, cleaning citations were noted in 50% of warning FDA letters. Many cited contamination issues have an element of poor cleaning practices associated with them. Examples include “investigations…did not include an evaluation of the cleaning processes and procedures…to determine if equipment cleaning is effective in preventing cross contamination of the inactivated batches”, FDA Warning Letter, Jan 2008; "vaccine manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania, has been served with an FDA warning letter asking for measures to ensure batches of its flu shot ingredients do not become contaminated again.” Jul-2006..
An overview of ICH risk management techniques and how to apply them to equipment cleaning programs will be discussed. In addition, case studies from manufacturing facilities will be used to illustrate risk-based cleaning validation principles and practices.
FDA's Update on Medical Device Labeling Changes
David Dills
60 Min
Product Id: 701141
This Medical device training will provide valuable assistance and guidance to device companies involved in labeling changes. FDA recently released a final rule regarding the parameters in which a device manufacturer can modify label changes to a product. Specifically, manufacturers can add or strengthen the contraindications, warnings, precautions or adverse reactions sections of labeling via a PMA supplement without prior FDA approval only when such modifications are based on newly acquired information and evidence of a causal association between the product and a safety signal is present. The rule also provides clarification as to what the Agency considers to be new information to be incorporated into a label change. Specifically, new information “must reveal risks of a different type or greater severity or frequency than previously included in submissions” and includes meta-analyses, the new regulation states.” FDA requires that drug, biologics, and medical device manufacturers obtain FDA approval of their warning labels before the drugs or devices are marketed and sold. Manufacturers generally must also obtain FDA approval before making changes to labeling information. However, in limited circumstances, companies can revise or supplement their warning labels prior to FDA approval (through changes being effected (CBE) supplements) to ensure consumers are immediately made aware of newly discovered risks.
The labeling regulations, which became effective in late September 2008, clarify that a manufacturer can make unilateral pre-FDA approved labeling changes “only to reflect newly acquired information” when there is “reasonable evidence of a causal association” between the drug or device and the risk. The final rule defines “newly acquired information” as “information not previously submitted to [the] FDA.” This includes “new analyses of previously submitted data,” such as adverse event reports, new clinical study information, and new analyses that “reveal risks of a different type or greater severity or frequency than previously included in submissions to [the] FDA. Under the final rule, however, a CBE supplement is available only if there is "sufficient evidence of a causal association" justifying the addition or strengthening of a contraindication, warning, precaution or adverse reaction. The FDA explains that the language "sufficient evidence of a causal association" refers to the standards for drugs and biologics set forth in §201.57(c)(6) and §201.57(c)(7).
