Medical Device QMS, ISO 13485 Requirements and CAPA Regulatory Compliance Training - Live Webinars, Recordings & CDs

This training will discuss the final guidance on postmarket management of cybersecurity in medical devices which was released in Dec. 2016. Attendees will learn how to establish a risk-based framework for assessing when changes to medical devices for cybersecurity vulnerabilities require reporting to the FDA.

This training program will discuss changes from ISO 13485: 2003 to ISO 13485: 2016. Attendees will learn how to apply additional supplier controls and understand how improvement and corrective action clauses are strengthened.

Learn how the FMEA and control plan can be combined to create a dynamic control plan, a living document that helps to drive continual improvement.

This webinar will cover creating of a value-added an internal and supplier auditing program for compliance to FDA and ISO 13485 internal auditing requirements. It will include how to set up and manage the auditing system, as well as how to conduct audits, and document the results and any nonconformities. It will discuss the value of a good auditing program.

Medical device manufacturers need systems to implement regulatory requirements (meeting customer requirements and handling regulatory complaints) as well as a business processes to determine customer satisfaction. While the three systems are related, each serves a different purpose. You will learn how to implement a customer satisfaction process to complete theses three important aspects.

FDA, in November 2016, issued a Guidance explaining and clarifying the existing MDR regulation. Many of the details of the MDR regulation were unclear and ambiguous and resulted in nonconformances. This new Guidance attempts to eliminate confusion.

This 90-minute training program is designed for people tasked with performing external audits for their organizations. It is also for those tasked with developing, maintaining and/or improving programs for manufacturing facilities. This includes individuals that have quality management system responsibilities for making general improvements in their organization’s performance specifically related to equipment, processes and documentation.

This 90-minute webinar will cover general considerations for microbial control for non-sterile manufacturing areas, including attributes of an effective cleaning and disinfection program. Points to consider specifically aimed at oral solid dose (OSD) manufacturers will also be presented, including cleaning and disinfection of both product contact and non-product contact surfaces.

Analyzing processes to understand their operation and implementing improvement is a necessary element in any quality system, but is especially important in medical devices. One of the more important tools is linear regression. Using Excel, you can get the information you need for process improvement.

Continuous Improvement starts with awareness of issues and opportunities. And without an effective internal audit program, management lacks awareness of the issues within their quality system. Management is blind to the gaps in the quality system and the risk that poses for the company. Even worse, management is blind to the impact on product quality and risk to the customer. This webinar will highlight red-flags and ways reduce compliance and quality risk.

This course will provide a foundation for developing your technical skills related to sterility assurance.

This webinar training will benefit manufacturers of manufactured products to achieve an effective, robust and compliant SOP and STM which will result in a cost effective and efficient manufacturing and testing of products. A well planned and written SOP or STM will reduce the incidence of out-of-specification (OOS) results, failure, product non-conformances, deviation and invalid assay investigations.

This training will help you gain a solid understanding of what Statistical Process Control (SPC) is and what it isn’t. We will discuss the common misunderstanding and misapplications of SPC so that you may avoid them.

This training program will discuss the challenges faced by medical device companies amid close scrutiny by industry regulators. It will also offer best practices for combating lack of transparency in quality/compliance data.

This webinar on biopharmaceutical raw material testing will discuss how to implement processes for the control of microbial contamination, establish microbial limits and mitigate the risk of contamination.

This webinar will help the attendee gain an understanding of the requirements of current USP <85> Bacterial Endotoxin Test (BET), European Pharmacopoeia (Chapter 2.6.14) and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (General Tests, No. 4.01). The webinar will provide the attendee the ability to understand the different LAL testing methodologies, choosing the best test method applicable to the product type, criticality of the BET test result as it applies to the release of a cGMP manufactured product.

Data analysis is one of the most powerful improvement tools because it can lead to cost reductions and preventive action. To use these techniques you need to know both the regulatory requirements and the analysis framework. This webinar gives you the tools and techniques to implement an effective data analysis program.

This webinar on objectionable microorganisms will explore the most current practices that define an objectionable microorganism and will provide a practical approach to determining just how objectionable it really is.

This webinar will present a Lifecycle Risk Management System that meets FDA and ISO requirements. That risk management system (based on ISO 14971) creates a closed loop system that identifies risks, and uses field use feedback to adjust risks and to improve designs and processes. The objective evidence produced by a Lifecycle Risk Management Systems can be used to demonstrate risk management compliance to 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485.

As medical device requirements and expectations increase, coupled with strengthened standards, the design project must seek every opportunity to leverage activities in the area to satisfy requirements in other areas. This reduces the total work and helps make these processes more efficient. By attending this presentation, you will learn techniques to improve your device design project.
