Medical Device Regulatory Compliance Training - Live Webinars, Recordings & CDs

This course will educate you about various key elements of sterility assurance and contamination control such as Cleanroom Regulations, Classification, Sources, and types of particles, Design Requirements, Validation/Qualification, Operations, Environmental Monitoring Program requirements, Excursion investigations, Data Trending, Microbiological processes/methodology, Cleanroom cleaning/disinfection.

As part of the Case for Quality program US FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health noted how an excessive focus by industry on compliance rather than quality may be diverting resources and management attention toward meeting regulatory compliance requirements vs. adopting best quality practices. There has also been a lower than anticipated investment in automation and digital technologies, which could greatly improve quality and process control. A key element is a risk-based, product quality and patient-centric approach to Computer System Assurance (CSA) vs. the traditional Computer System Validation (CSV) waterfall approach. This encourages critical thinking based on product and process knowledge and quality risk management over prescriptive documentation driven approaches.

This is where FDA determined that “WHAT” is required can be done (the “HOW”) in different ways and does not have to be according to the “checklist” mindset of most CSV work, where you create documents without specifically addressing the risk of potential failure of each requirement.

GAMP®5 supports the use of incremental, iterative, and evolutionary approaches including agile, for development of custom applications. Keys to success include a robust Quality Management System and well trained and highly disciplined teams following well-defined processes supported by tools and automation.

The U.S FDA requires that 21 basic elements be addressed in the traditional 510(k) submission. This can serve as a model for other submissions.

This webinar will provide valuable guidance to regulated companies in development and implementation of Use Engineering / Human Factors Engineering using the 9 stage model in IEC 62366-1. IEC 62366-2 on recommended implementation considerations will be briefly considered, with the focus on IEC 62366-1, the basic methodology. the webinar willshow when and how these tools are incorporated into R&D design control, risk management, validation, root cause analysis, CAPA / falure investigations, GMP auditing, and liability reduction. Unlike risk management, use engineering may not always be necessary, depending upon the user interface under review. Use engineering is designed to reduce product risk, increase intuitive product use, reduce liability, and less chance of recalls.

Attend this webinar to understand, what are the changes to the previous medical device regulation and how to implement the changes in clinical post market surveillance into your current quality management system according to ISO 13485:2021. Your implementation needs smart ideas to reach the right level to pass the quality management audit by your notified body or authority inspection.

This webinar will focus on how to prepare domestic and foreign medical device manufacturers selling to the U.S. to recognize and prepare for FDA pre- and post-market inspections.

The U.S. FDA continues to increase its requirements for tighter control and management of vendors / suppliers / outsourcing. Combination products doubles the problems. And Covid 19 has compounded supply chain issues.

Remote QMS-CGMP compliance inspections are here to stay. Add it to your toolbox for vendor and remote site audits, especially for low to moderate risk companies.

This webinar will discuss in detail the requirements of 21 CFR part 11 and updated European Annex 11 regulation including requirements for local, SaaS, and cloud hosting. It will also offer techniques to implement a computer system using risk-based validation to gain maximum productivity and reduce cost by as much as two thirds.

This 90-minute session on risk-based verification and validation planning will discuss "must have" elements from the U.S. FDA cGMP, EU MDR, ICH Q9 and ISO 14971 for hazard analysis and product risk management, and show how you can integrate these into a company's quality management system.

This presentation focuses on the verification and validation planning and execution of software, used in medical device manufacturing, after basic developmental testing and de-bug. It includes COTS (commercial off-the-shelf), custom, and the growing field of "cloud"-based software. A suggested FDA model (mandated for submissions) will be evaluated, implemented, with V&V documentation and test case examples. The focus is on the most recent issues the FDA has had in this area, and remediation approaches. Software considered: 1) Production / Test, and 2) QMS / 21 CFR Pt. 11, and 3) Cybersecurity / Networked systems. Examples will be demonstrated. Evaluation of the chief areas of FDA concerns will focus on actual and anticipated changes in emphasis based on the changing regulatory climate.

The definition of labels is well defined and ususally well known; "labeling" not so well. Differing requirements for different applications can be confusing and are the subject of this webinar.

This 90-minute webinar will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies performing and documenting meaningful, results driven 510(k) / change analysis activities, based on the FDA's new Draft Guidance, "510(k) Device Modifications: Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device", dated October 25, 2017.

This webinar will discuss setting up statistically justified sampling plans for process validation. Discussion will also involve using the sampling plan to set acceptance criteria for process validation. Setting acceptance criteria for test method validation will also be presented.

This 90-minute webinar will show how you can implement a closed-loop CAPA system that meets CGMP requirements and U.S. FDA expectations. You will learn simple, but powerful, tools and methods that you can use regularly and systematically to define and resolve root causes, not just symptoms.

This project management training for FDA regulated companies will show how you can meet key FDA and EU MDD regulatory requirements for the project you manage. It will focus on proven tools and techniques for successful development and implementation of project management planning.

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 webinar will focus on the Key parts of IEC 62366-1:2015 and -2:2016, Human Factors Engineering and Role in Design Control (21 CFR 820.30)l, Design and Development Planning (ISO 13485 7.3) .
