Medical Device Risk Management An Interactive Workshop Presented by Ombu Enterprises and FDAnews
Product Details
Many in the medical device industry think of risk management as part of their quality system.
Don’t be fooled. Risk management is the foundation for all device regulation.
Just look at recent industry headlines. They’re filled with device related patient injuries, product recalls, GMP violations, consent decrees, manufacturing stoppages and even disgorgement of past profits.
What’s the common theme behind the headlines? Poor risk management.
Today, it’s a bigger challenge to build, maintain and audit your risk management plan than ever before. You’ve got to act fast – and you must know what you’re doing, from A – Z.
That’s why you should register today for the two-day interactive workshop Medical Device Risk Management, presented by Ombu Enterprises and FDAnews.
You’ll learn what elements your risk management plan must include ... how to apply the plan to your products ... how to create a risk evaluation matrix ... techniques to evaluate, control and mitigate risk ... how to integrate risk management into a Quality Management System following the GHTF approach ... and more.
You’ll also dig deep into the intricacies of ISO 14971, including how it helps control and mitigate medical device risk ... how the FDA interprets it ... and its role as an
EU-harmonized standard for the MDD and IVDD.
Plus, you’ll sort out the alphabet-soup of risk evaluation tools — ETA, FMEA, FTA, HACCP, PHA and HAZOP — and come to understand each one. More important,
you’ll know how to implement the one(s) most appropriate to your own operation.
Your workshop leader will be Dan O’Leary, president of Ombu Enterprises LLC. He has spent more than 30 years in quality, operations and program management in four highly regulated industries — devices, clinical labs, aviation and defense.
He’ll enhance your training with numerous case studies that will illustrate the concept of risk and examine real-life serious events in medical device manufacturing. Plus, he’ll incorporate interactive exercises, leading you through the steps from recognizing risks all the way to assuming the role of quality auditor.
