Overview of the webinar

FDA Field Inspectors conduct administrative and enforcement activities related to the Quality System (QS) Regulation (21 CFR 820), the Medical Device Reporting (MDR) Regulation (21 CFR 803), the Medical Device Tracking Regulation (21 CFR 821), the Corrections & Removals Regulation (21 CFR 806) and the Registration & Listing Regulation (21 CFR 807).

Under the QS regulation, manufacturers are expected to control their devices from design stage through post market surveillance. Manufacturing processes, such as sterilization, are required to be implemented under appropriate controls. The MDR, Tracking and Corrections and Removals regulations involve activities with which manufacturers and importers are required to comply after the devices are distributed. Before inspectors can conduct the above inspections, they are trained by the FDA on how to conduct inspections. This training program encompasses the five regulations for inspecting medical device firms.

Why should you attend?

This webinar will examine the training that FDA inspectors receive on five regulations for inspecting medical device firms. It will present the specific guidance FDA inspectors receive for each of the regulations. As a result, attendees will understand not only what they need to do to set up their company for a successful inspection, but also why they need to do it. They will get insight into the workings of the inspector's mind to understand what they are looking for during an inspection.
