QMS TRAINING for the Medical Device Industry
April 28-29, 2010

COURSE EXPECTATIONS:
Manufacturers of medical devices looking to sell product in the U.S. are
mandated to implement and comply with the FDA's Quality
System Regulation (QSR) codified under 21 CFR Part 820. Further, manufacturers looking to remain competitive and/or expand their distribution into other countries such as Europe and Canada, are often required to comply with ISO 13485 requirements.
QARA Compliance Connection's 2-Day QMS Requirements Training course was designed to provide personnel with an
in-depth knowledge and understanding of the FDA QSR and ISO 13485 quality management system requirements in order to meet domestic and international requirements for quality.
Interactive discussion and group exercises have been incorporated into the training program in order to provide participants with the opportunity to apply concepts learned to real-world situations, thereby resulting in training that is both comprehensive in theory and application.
