Medical devices, and the device part of a combination product, must be developed under design control. Without it, you risk a product that does not suit its intended market or that regulators will not approve.
This 60-minute medical device design control training explains the basics and the overall flow of the design control process, including the regulatory requirements from both the FDA and CE mark perspectives.
The session focuses on design inputs, the foundation of the process: starting with user needs, translating them into product requirements, and the next steps that follow.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Understanding design control is both a regulatory requirement and a key to developing devices successfully. Getting design inputs right shapes everything that follows in development.
This session suits quality and regulatory affairs professionals, R&D scientists, and production and technical support staff working on medical devices or combination products.
