This two-day course will introduce current FDA QSR/cGMP compliance requirement (21 CFR Part 820.30) with respect to developing medical devices as well as the latest industry practices for developing medical device design projects in accordance with the specified requirements.

In addition to FDA expectations and perspectives, examples of design control procedures, forms, records, tools, and practices will be presented and discussed during the course, which provides practical resources for future reference. Situation analyses and case studies, specifically designed for different device classifications and company sizes, are used throughout the program to help attendees analyze potential areas of noncompliance, identify improvements, and evaluate the various methods of developing and managing a design control program.
