Production and Process Control: Building a Robust System

Course "Production and Process Control: Building a Robust System" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion.
Overview:
A medical device production system must be efficient, effective, and compliant. This includes the right controls - documented instructions, environmental control, adequate equipment properly installed and maintained, production software, properly controlled test equipment, and validated processes. The requirements come from FDA QSR and ISO 13485:2016.
This two-day workshop covers the essentials of production and process control. Beyond the fundamental elements, the workshop provides practical methods to help create a robust system for device production - one that can withstand a rigorous FDA Inspection or MDSAP Audit. Exercises provide an opportunity to put the lessons into practice. Case studies, based on FDA Warning Letters, the Quality System Inspection Technique (QSIT), and the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) provide an opportunity to apply the information.

Why you should attend:
Production and process control is the essence of medical device manufacturing. It provides the framework for making devices, verifying them, validating processes, and handling problems. A device manufacturer’s production needs to satisfy the regulatory requirements to avoid MDSAP audit findings and FDA Warning Letters. By attending this workshop, you will learn the regulatory requirements and tools to help implement them.
