Design Controls are essential for producing safe and effective medical devices. And Design Controls are considered a critical process by the FDA. Yet, Design Controls are still one of the most frequent areas for 483 and Warning Letter observations. This webinar will help you understand, develop, and implement design controls processes and tools that are a competitive strength for your company. You will learn how to incorporate design controls into your product development process to help streamline development and ensure quality and compliance.
Course Objectives:
• Understand regulations and expectations
• Review enforcement case studies for lessons learned
• Understand the Design Control Process
• Understand the expectations of "risk analysis"
• Identify best practices and tools
• Prepare a Plan for Inspection Readiness
Why Should You Attend:
The intrinsic quality, safety, and effectiveness of medical device are established during the design phase. Yet, statistics show that a significant percentage of all medical device recalls are due to design problems. Design issues can even create issues with manufacturability for your company including low yields and excessive scrap and rework. And those design problems can have disastrous results for your customer and for your company. A rigorous and efficient design control process can help avoid these quality and compliance problems. Issues that are identified early are more easily and quickly resolved. This webinar will help you avoid design problems and their impact on quality, cost, speed to market, and customer satisfaction.
