Process and Design Validation for Devicemakers: Concepts, Methods and Models
Product Details
Before a new medical device can go to market, a devicemaker must provide evidence to the FDA that the product meets its design requirements and that its manufacturing processes can consistently comply with quality standards — a concept known as validation.
On top of this FDA scrutiny, validation can take many forms; devicemakers need to understand all of them to comply with agency regulations.
Process and Design Validation for Devicemakers: Concepts, Methods and Models is here to help you sift through any quality management confusion and understand what regulators expect when you validate your new device.
Newly updated to include the latest inspection and enforcement trends for validation programs as well added content on device design, Process and Design Validation for Devicemakers: Concepts, Methods and Models walks you through each step in the validation process. The authors outline strategies, methods, tools and inspection priorities. This step-by-step explanation also includes copies of guidance documents and other resources from the FDA, as well as a variety of checklists, decision trees and statistical analysis tools to help develop a robust and compliant validation program.
