Why should you attend?
Complaint handling and Corrective and Preventative Action (CAPA) are considered by the FDA to be two of the most important areas to assure medical device safety and efficacy. They are in the top five areas where FDA finds problems during inspections and issues 483's. Medical device developers must understand the complicated Complaint and CAPA process and have a strong CAPA program. A key understanding is striking a balance between too many CAPA's (strangles the system) and too few (problem areas escape fixing). Templates of the Complaint Evaluation form and the Corrective Action Plan handouts will be provided to the attendees.
