GXP Medical Devices Training

This webinar is intended to provide guidance regarding the FDA program to approve an NDA or an ANDA or PMA only if the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, processing, packing, and testing of the drug or Class III device are found adequate to ensure and preserve the drug's identity, strength, quality, and purity, or the device's safety and performance.

Both the U.S. FDA and EU's MDR expect documented risk-based IQ, OQ, an PQs of medical packaging lines under U.S. FDA cGMP, EU MRD, ICH Q7 and Q9 and ISO 14971

Both the U.S. FDA and EU's MDR expect documented calibration and risk-based V&V under U.S. FDA cGMPs, the EU MDR, ICH Q9 and ISO 14971

Compliance with European Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) is mandatory for all medical devices placed in the market in any member state of the European Union. It is of strategic importance for any medical device manufacturer to understand and effectively apply the MDR requirements to access this critical market.

This training will review the best practices establishing and conducting a cleaning validation for reusable medical devices. It will also address the requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST 98.

This technical writing training program will offer attendees an understanding of how the reporting process supports products in research, development, and in the marketplace. This virtual session will highlight the mandates for documentation set forth by the regulators, such as the FDA, the ISO, and other governing bodies. The program will train attendees on effectively reviewing and revising documents and assessing your audience, in effect producing effective written correspondence.

This webinar will discuss the main regulatory regimes for medical devices in US, Canada, Brazil, Japan and Australia, how they differ from EU CE mark regulations and how to address compliance though a Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) and ISO 13486:2016 approach

Cybersecurity is the art of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use. It is the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, and is a rapidly growing problem for industry. 

The regulation and control of new or substantially changed medical devices for sale in the US is based on the 510(k), PMA or DeNovo submission process; 510(k)s now can only be submitted to the FDA under the eSTAR (electronic Submission Template And Resource) Portal. Other submissions will be phased in using new guidance templates as they become available.

This webinar is intended to provide guidance regarding the CGMPs on manufacturing methods utilizing the US FDA Production and Process Controls for Drugs and Devices and Statistical Process Controls (SPC) as taught by Drs. Demming and others and required also in the CGMPs and under control of variation process guidance.

Proper adherence and documentation of the FDA's Design Control requirements are key to any medical product project's success.

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.

The US FDA, after years of discussing the harmonization of 21 CFR 820, Device CGMPs (QSR), to the ISO 13485, Device QMS, has finally published their QMSR to replace the previous QSR. On February 02, 2024, they published the final rule in the US Federal Register that revises 21 CFR 820 to include ISO 13485:2016 by reference, called the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR).

The webinar, titled "Drug Labeling and Packaging: Meeting Regulatory Requirements," is a comprehensive exploration of the critical nexus between pharmaceutical labeling, packaging, and regulatory mandates. Over the course of 60 minutes, this session will provide participants with a thorough understanding of the pivotal role that accurate and compliant drug labeling and packaging play in ensuring patient safety and meeting global regulatory standards.

CGMP companies must develop / implement formal software V&V for medical product under IEC 62304 and a key US FDA Guidance Document.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted into law on June 28, 2018 and became effective on January 1, 2020. CCPA provided a variety of consumer privacy rights and the obligations of business related to their storage and sale of personal information.

Voters in California voted to approve Proposition 24, a ballot measure, on November 3, 2020, which created the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). The purpose of CPRA was to modify and expand the requirements of the CCPA, thus amending the original act. CPRA is commonly referred to as “CCPA 2.0.”

CPRA ends the ban on providing the CCPA’s consumer privacy rights to a company’s employees. Under CPRA, all employers must respond to requests from employees to access or correct their personal data. Enforcement of CPRA will become effective in July 2023, enabling companies six months to ramp up their efforts to comply with it.

CPRA also extends new protections to consumers residing in California. Those organizations doing business with these consumers are subject, based on defined threshold of operation, to the compliance requirements.

Both the U.S. FDA and EU's MDR expect documented risk-based clean room manufacturing environment per ISO 14644-series, ISO 14698-series (and the old FED-STD 209E).

The US FDA/CDRH is proposing to harmonize the current Quality System Regulation (QSR) for medical devices (21 CFR 820) by converging its requirements with requirements used by many other regulatory authorities. ISO 13485, into a new device Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR).

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.
