Mark Perkins, a registered Professional Engineer, will be the speaker at this webinar. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This webinar gives an idea of how to put a strong CAPA program that passes an FDA check during a visit. A strong CAPA is a critical requirement as a subsystem of the FDA's QSR. Shortfalls in the CAPA system are the biggest reason for issuance of observations and 483’s from the FDA. It could also lead to FDA oversight and making violations known publicly. The development and implementation of a sound CAPA system is a must, but most medical devices companies don’t seem to realize what goes into it. It is noticed that one of the reasons medical device companies have a problem in putting a strong CAPA in place is that they usually don’t differentiate between the terminologies of the QSR and ISO 13485. This is often a source of confusion, to the extent that there are overlaps between the two. This webinar session will sort this confusion out. It will offer ways by which the two can be integrated into the CAPA system. It will explain what needs to go into the CAPA system to make it robust; how to appropriately document responses, reviews and approvals, and what to keep in mind regarding timelines and escalation. It will also offer examples of warning letters, and what need to be done to avoid them. It will also offer an understanding of how to deal with ISO 13485 surveillance audits, which too look for good CAPA systems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When:November 8, 10:00 AM PDT 01:00 PM EDT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By whom:Mark Perkins began his career in Aerospace in 1983 and transitioned into Medical Device QA/RA in 1998.
