Best Practices for Managing an FDA Inspection
Although an effective Quality System should always be inspection-ready, many medical device companies make basic mistakes during inspections leading to 483s and even warning letters. This webinar can help you prepare for and manage inspections efficiently and effectively. A professional, polished, responsive approach sets a good tone for an inspection. You will learn how to present information about your qu..
Building a Compliant Laboratory – From Foundation to Business Excellence
Compliance in laboratory settings has been a topic for the FDA and other regulators for decades. With the increased focus on data integrity and continued focus on laboratory investigations, it is critical more than ever to ensure you have designed your laboratory operations system to meet the compliance needs of your business. In this presentation, I will define compliance, provide a translation of regulati..
CAPA, Failure Investigation and Root Cause Analysis to Meet FDA Expectations
Analysis of investigation reports reveals that human error is one of the top root causes for deviations, discrepancies and quality incidents in pharmaceutical manufacturing. And when you examine the CAPA's that are developed from these, retraining and rewrite of SOP is top the list. Yet on further re-examination, you find that these problems keep resurfacing again and again. Put in another way, the CAPA's a..
Device and Software Changes and The 510(k)
This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies performing and documenting meaningful, results-driven 510(k) / change analysis activities, based on the U.S. FDA has its current two recent “Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff”: “Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device”; and “Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device..
Drug or Cosmetic? Promoting Health Benefits in Personal Care Products
FDA has a history of avoiding discussion of popular issues and leaving the course of history to the imagination of the industry to push the boundaries of regulatory compliance. The unwillingness by FDA to address issues like “natural”, “probiotic”, “CBD” and other popular issues, creates an opportunity to add market potential, but it also creates hazards to avoid for FDA regulated products. Assuming that di..
EU Medical Devices Regulation: CE Mark Expiration and the EU Refusal of Your Exports
FDA and the EU have tried to harmonize device regulatory requirements for over 25 years. Major differences between the FDA and the EUincludepremarket authorization (CE Mark), complaint investigations, postmarket surveillance, and reports. The EU’s new Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) incorporates more rigorous regulatory requirements for those areas and in some cases outpaces the FDA’s requirements. The FDA..
Extractables and Leacheables in Drug Development
Leachables from pharmaceutical container closure systems can present potential safety risks to patients. Extractables studies identify potential leachables and therefore assess and mitigate the above risks based on the dosage forms and the administration route. When safety concerns are detected, approaches for the toxicological evaluation of extractable and leachable have been developed and applied by pharm..

Horizon Planning on Emerging Issues on Prop 65
The Food Industry has also been subject to Prop 65 legal battles on a host of products from French fries, chocolate, coffee, bakery products, candy and baby food that may now require warning labels or other actions to mitigate safety concerns for the public. This course will provide an overview of how to navigate Prop 65 with a Preventative Control Program approach. Highlights will include Preventative Cont..
How Successfully Apply for a Breakthrough Therapy Designation
The Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) is perhaps one of the most impactful incentives from the FDA as it helps get the product to market much faster than any other expedited approval pathway. Once a drug is successful in getting the BTD, the non-clinical and clinical requirements for market approval are significantly reduced. The applicants can request special meetings with FDA to discuss the developme..
How to Write SOP’s for Human Error Reduction
Human error is known to be the primary cause of quality and production losses in many industries. Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage. Procedures play a vital role in human reliability. Nevertheless, it is essential to understand human behavior and the psychology of error as well as underst..
Human Error Reduction Techniques For Floor Supervisors
Supervision plays a crucial role in Human Error Reduction and Control. Critical Factors like preparation, planning, scheduling, communication, among many others, will be discussed as part of this webinar. People make mistakes because they can; our systems allow it. To work with these challenges, it is essential to understand human behavior and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the ..
