By attending this webinar, you will gain a better understanding of the regulatory expectations for an effective and GMP-compliant training system. In this webinar your instructor will share with you what he has learned over the past decade of developing and delivering effective GMP training programs as well as from his 25 plus years of working in the Life Science industries.

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.

This webinar will overview each critical aspect of the FDA submissions process to include 510(k) and PMA) and contrast those key steps to those of the EU Medical Device Directives Submissions process.

This webinar will provide the basic understanding of how to conduct a compliant and effective out-of-specification (OOS) result investigation which is critical in preventing product recalls, voluntary and involuntary plant shut down, and FDA 483 findings or warning letter. It will also provide a basic mainframe for the Quality Assurance unit in the final disposition of the affected finished product as well as provide guidance for the different types of OOS investigational systems.

This course will describe the basic principles and requirements for building a supplier audit program. This webinar will provide a framework on which to build your subcontractor auditing program.

This training program will highlight key metrics needed to convince reimbursement panels of design compliance and discuss how best to implement practices in your development process that ensure acceptance by reimbursement groups.

This 510(k) training will discuss the submission process and the contents required by the FDA for a successful 510(k) submission.

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.

FDA encourages companies that offer DTC advertising to include accurate information in their ads. Through a comprehensive surveillance and enforcement program, the agency ensures that consumers are not misled or deceived by advertisements that violate the law. This webinar will bring attendees up to speed so you are clearer about when DTC advertising makes you ripe for legal picking by the FDA.

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 webinar will discuss FDA's current priorities and the agency's likely priorities and the future of regulations and policies in 2017 under the new Trump administration.

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.

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.
