Presented by:
Julie Jenks, M.S., Quality Assurance Consultant

Course Description:
The establishment of a Quality System is a requirement of all U.S. and International regulatory agencies for organizations that design and/or develop medical devices. An effective Quality System will save a Med Tech company time and money by helping to ensure that its final product meets customer and regulatory requirements (in other words that it does what it is expected to do).
This course will detail the components of a Quality System and discuss the reality of implementing of an effective Quality System in an early stage Med Tech company.
Points to be Covered:
- The components of an effective Quality System, including Design Control, Risk Management, Auditing, Purchasing Controls, and Validation
- U.S. FDA (21 CFR §820) versus ISO (13485:2003) Quality System requirements.
- Implementation of a Quality System in an Early Stage Med Tech Company
- Quality and Clinical Trials
