Design Controls
An In-depth Perspective

A Two-Day Comprehensive Training Program

Why is design control so important?

Both the FDA QSR and ISO 9001 require that design controls be implemented to ensure products are safe and effective for their intended use. The ability of an organization to implement an effective design control system is critical for both compliance with regulatory requirements and to meet customers expectations. This course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement an effective design control program which meets ISO 9001 and FDA QSR requirements. Interactive exercises help participants understand first hand how to apply design control concepts/requirements.

This Course is for you if:

You manufacture Class III, Class II and select Class I medical devices.
