Compliance Training Webinars for Regulated Industries

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).

This webinar provides participants with practical guidance in implementing an effective operational risk management system. It will also bring you up to speed on current best practice in the field of managing operational risk in financial institutions. Not only will we examine the details of each of these principles, as well as taking an all-inclusive look and what needs to happen to implement them; we will complete our journey by examining the principles under the harsh light of an actual Case Study in the banking industry.

This 1-hour webinar will go into the specifics of the REACH and RoHS regulations and review the latest amendments and changes to both regulations for 2024. We will draw out key developments and key dates (if applicable) with particular emphasis on requirements for US firms.

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.

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.

This training program will elaborate factors affecting the target weight decision and help determine the tolerable risks of under-filling and the costs of over-filling. Attendees will gain an understanding of process stability and process capability concepts and methods for process optimization.

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).

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. 

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.

This webinar will give you a clear structured overview and introduction, into the cybersecurity risk management in relation to the cybersecurity regulation in EU and US and its requirements in the EU and US.

This webinar presents an overview of essential quantitative methods for assessing and ensuring product quality. The methods include: Statistical Process Control, Process Capability Assessment, Regression Modeling, Design of Experiments, Hypothesis Testing, and Measurement Systems Assessment.

For years the IRS has struggled with the independent contractor and tax collection. In assessing opportunities to close the tax gap (taxes due but not reported or paid), one of the greatest opportunities comes from expanding the information reporting on taxpayers by payors – the 1099. This time-consuming reporting obligation can be streamlined in a number of ways. Join us to learn more…

ISO 14971:2019 has introduced significant changes including benefit, reasonably foreseeable misuse and state of the art, as well as the management of risks associated with medical devices. It is important to be aware of these changes as technology continues to emerge.

This webinar is intended for those working in the FDA-regulated tobacco and related industries, including e-liquids (vapor), e-cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco products. Functions that are applicable include research and development, manufacturing, Quality Control, distribution, clinical testing and management, adverse events management and post-marketing surveillance. You should attend this webinar if you are responsible for planning, executing or managing the implementation of any system governed by FDA regulations, or if you are maintaining or supporting such a system.

This course will provide an overview of the requirements for aseptic and bulk manufacturing operations, including facility design, contamination controls and acceptable personnel behaviors.

The Nacha Operating Rules are always changing. With an Operations Bulletin (issued March 2023) regarding updates to the WSUD and details on a RFC (Request for Comment) plus an RFI (Request or Information) – this is a must attend session!

EU's New Regulation 536/2014 on Clinical TrialsTo establish that a drug or device is safe and effective, tests are required. There are many preliminary tests, including lab tests, standards, guidances, etc. Finally the product must be tried out on humans / patients in a tightly controlled environmnent.

Achieving high product reliability has become increasingly vital for manufacturers in order to meet customer expectations amid the threat of strong global competition. Poor reliability can doom a product and jeopardize the reputation of a brand or company. Inadequate reliability also presents financial risks from warranty, product recalls, and potential litigation. When developing new products, it is imperative that manufacturers develop reliability specifications and utilize methods to predict and verify that those reliability specifications will be met. This presents a difficult challenge in many industries with short product cycles and compressed product development time frames. This webinar provides an overview of quantitative methods for predicting product reliability from data gathered from physical testing or from field data.
