3-Day Online Seminar: Understanding the US Medical Device Design Controls What, Why, and How – August 3rd, August 10th & August 17th, 2021 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “3-Day Web Seminar Understanding Medical Device Design Controls What, Why, and How” conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

This Design Control course is US-focused.

The participants will gain a fundamental understanding of how medical devices are regulated in the US: the main legal basis, FFDCA (21 U.S.C. 301) and the specific Medical Device Quality Systems Regulation, and the comparison/contrast of the GMP requirements imposed on the medical devices and pharmaceutical products in the US.

In addition, the participants will be introduced to a brief overview of the relevant global regulatory framework including the EU MDR 2017 and the latest ISO standards (ISO 13485:2016).

Fortunately, Alan Golden Principal at Design Quality Consultants, LLC with over 30 years’ experience working in the medical device industry will focus on introducing the attendees to the regulatory requirements stipulated under the US Medical Device Quality Systems Regulation. Each of the seven key elements of Design Control compliance will be briefly reviewed. In addition, specific GMP requirements, submission dossier preparation throughout the Design Control lifecycle, and submission strategy will be discussed.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the legal basis & industrial standards regulating the manufacture of medical devices.
• Gain an understanding of the regulatory framework for Design Control and recommendations to effectively meet the requirements of Design Control.
• Describe general regulatory requirements pertaining to design control within the quality system and regulation, design control procedures, safety/risk management, documentation, manufacturing transfer strategies, and strategies for integrating general quality system procedures into design control.
• Outline steps and tools to establish and implement effective design controls and quality management systems.

Who Should Attend:

This course will be most valuable to Medical device industry engineers, engineering managers, regulatory affairs professionals, scientists, and quality engineers.

Personnel involved in product development, manufacturing, quality assurance, or regulatory affairs that do not have an in-depth knowledge of the Design Control, and its workings, will benefit from this course. Additionally, this program can be customized and delivered on-site for more experienced personnel (including middle and upper management) to update and broaden their knowledge of the FDA’s Design Control requirements.
