Track 1 Seminars



Day 1 - FDA's Quality System Regulation:

The FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR) is the required Quality Management System (QMS) for device manufacturers who market their products in the US, regardless of the manufacturing location in the world.

Understanding the QSR is important for device manufacturers to build an effective and compliant system. The workshop takes you through the regulatory requirements and explains how to implement them. The workshop provides guidance on the regulatory requirements and explains how they support the safe and effective manufacture of medical devices.

Day 2 - The ISO 13485 Quality Management System:

This workshop explains the history of ISO 13485 and its relationship to ISO 9001. We look at specific regional differences, such as the European Union’s EN ISO 13485:2012. ISO 13485 has a guidance document, ISO/TR 14969, which provides valuable information on applying ISO 13485.

Day 3 - The Medical Device Directive:

The seminar covers the organization of the medical device directive and shows how it controls the product life cycle. We start from determining the device class to allowable conformity assessment paths. The seminar includes the Essential Requirements and their relation to harmonized standards and clinical evaluation. We examine the purpose of the technical file (or design dossier). In addition, the seminar covers clinical evaluation and clinical follow-up.

Who will Benefit:

This seminar is valuable to anybody involved in medical device design and manufacturing for the European Union. The employees who will benefit include:

  • Research and development
  • Production
  • Regulatory affairs
