Webinar ID IQW19I0941

  • The US FDA / CGMP Design Control requirements, 21 CFR 820.30 and its deliverable documentation, the DHF
  • The EUs ISO 13485 7.3 Design and Development Planning requirements and the resulting File
  • Similarities and Differences
  • The changing EU landscape – MDD to MDR
  • “Essential Requirements” and “General Safety and Performance Requirements” and proof of compliance
  • Typical / expected contents of both documentation “systems”
  • Two Device Classification Systems
  • Parallel approaches to documentation requirements
  • Regulatory Inspection / Audit expectations

Overview of the webinar

This webinar will examine the existing and proposed requirements for the U.S. FDA's DHF -- including its derivitive documents, the DMR and DHR.  It will consider the European Union's MDD TF/DD requirements currently being phased out and the new EU MDR Technical Documentation being phased in.  It will evaluate the documents' differing purposes / goals, as well as the two different device classification schemes. Required and desirable contents will be discussed.  Also considered: Areas requiring frequent re-evaluation / update; Similiarities and differences; Future trends;  Typical DHF Table of Contents;  Technical File / Documentation Table of Contents;  The importance and usefulness of the old "Essential Requirements" and new "General Safety and Performance Requirements";  Structure of the "Declaration of Conformity"; self-declaring or N-B reviewed;  Parallel approaches to development. Finally, the differing approaches to device file audits by the FDA and the Notified Body will be discussed.

Why should you attend?

One of our most popular webinars, continuously updated with the latest U.S. FDA and Eurpean  Union requirements. As U.S. companies go global, they must meet different product design documentation.  The cGMPs mandate Design Control and the Design History File (DHF). EU / ISO 13485 mandate Design and Development Planning and File.  In order to sell globally, the EU's CE-marking documentation is a requirement -- the Technical FiIe or Design Dossier under the old EU MDD, and the Technical Documentation requirements of the new EU MDR.  Currently they serve different purposes, support different goals, but there are steps toward harmonization.  And how / where do the DMR and DHR fit?   Being aware of the similarities and differences in the files and their individual documents can further concurrent development and/or updates to both, and facilitate the MDD to MDR transition
