Global Medical Device Regulations continue to evolve, as devices become
more diverse and sophisticated. Understanding the regulations and
requirements in your targeted markets will expedite speed-to-market of
innovative products and assist patients needing access to life-saving
products and technologies. Government Regulatory Authorities, needing to
become more efficient with their time, are looking for ways to better
use their internal resources without compromising safety in products,
which become marketable.
One such example is the Medical Device
Single Audit Program [MDSAP], where Authorized Organizations would be
allowed to carry out a single GMP audit on medical device manufacturing
facilities and have it stand to support registrations across the current
participating member countries: U.S. Canada, Brazil, Australia and
Japan. Health Canada has now made the MDSAP process mandatory for all
licensed products in Canada.
Why you should attend
This 6
hrs. webinar is focused on understanding the Medical Device Single Audit
Program, the scope of the program, how to apply, the Authorized
Organizations, the rating system developed and what you can expect when
signing onto the program. The webinar will discuss how such audits are
organized, what to expect during a MDSAP audit, how does this differ
from a typical certified body audit, along with document movement and
timeline expectations in receiving the facility’s certificate.
Highlights
of the key Regulatory Requirements for Medical Devices will also be
covered for the participating MDSAP Countries of: U.S., Canada, Brazil,
Australia and Japan.
