Design Controls for Medical Devices under a Quality Management System
Design controls are a discipline that everyone in the medical device industry have to come to grips with. It encompasses systems engineering, risk management, mechanical/electrical/software design, usability engineering, and testing (verification and validation). The documentation of these activities is critical to both develop a good product but also to ensure a smooth regulatory clearance.Areas CoveredBac..
Data Privacy: California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
During this webinar, in addition to learning about the California privacy rules, we will discuss the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the US and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that is in effect to protect citizens’ personal data when they reside in the European Union (EU). We will compare and contrast these with the CPRA, providing specific requirements and how..
Establishing Appropriate Quality Metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Establishing appropriate Quality Assurance metrics is important for several reasons. Metrics not only measure the health of your quality system, they have the ability to change behavior, drive quality culture, and improve both individual and company performance. This course will discuss the importance of establishing metrics, how to distinguish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), as well as, how to utilize t..
Modernizing Lab Notebooks
In the realm of scientific research, the documentation of experiments and observations is not only a crucial aspect but often a regulatory requirement. Traditionally, this documentation has been done through physical lab notebooks, serving as a tangible repository of scientific endeavors. However, as technology advances, the landscape of lab documentation is evolving rapidly. In a recent seminar titled "Mod..
The Transfer Of Validated Methods
Even a detailed and well-written standard operating procedure for a method cannot ensure that 2 laboratories running on aliquots of the same will get statistically equivalent results. Using different instrumentation, standards, reagents, solvents, and other chemicals, data systems, sample storage and handling procedures, and other variables are common and can lead to different results. Making each operation..
LIMS System Validation and Compliance Issues For Regulated Labs
The webinar covers the validation of the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) which can be essential for regulatory compliance. The webinar will cover over a dozen key steps in achieving compliance. The process includes defining operational requirements in a User Requirements Specification (URS), assessing supplier quality systems, and developing Functional Specifications (FS). Risk assessment gu..
