We're not here to scare you. We're just reporting some facts...
The number of medical device product recalls is soaring.
In 2007, 1,279 medical device products were recalled – that number skyrocketed to 3,211 in 2011, according to data collected by a recent report overseen by a former FDA commissioner of regulatory affairs.
Here are some more facts:
Recently, a large device manufacturer got hit for $286 million in FDA settlements and penalties.
It was worse for another devicemaker...the ex-president and two other former executives went to jail.
Medical device quality is no longer an option. Get it right, or get hit hard.

FDA Expectations for Managing and
Auditing Supplier Quality
Full-Day Training Session — Thursday, June 6, 2013
In December 2012, the FDA proposed the creation of a new Division of International Compliance Operations within CDRH's Office of Compliance as part of the center’s increased international supply chain focus. Domestic — and overseas — inspections are also ramping up amid mushrooming international component sourcing and overseas contract manufacturing.
In light of these new changes, FDAnews and EduQuest have joined forces to present, FDA Expectations for Managing and Auditing Supplier Quality. This full-day, in-depth training session will significantly improve your supplier management program and avoid 483s, warning letters and potential patient injuries.
