Background

To show that a manufacturing process is reproducible is not only state of the art for medicinal products but also for medical devices. The regulatory requirements for process validation regarding medical devices are not as clear as those for medicinal products. There are very general requirements coming from ISO 13485 and from an old Global Harmonisation Task Force (GHTF) guideline dated 2004. Medical devices which are exported to the USA have to fulfil the process validation  requirements from 21 CFR 820.75. But how to proceed process validaton in the medical devices industry today according to the state of the art that all requirements are met? Who is responsible for the process validation of medical devices? What documentation is necessary; what statistical indicators are helpful? Are there differences between medical devices and medicinal products? These questions will be discussed during the webinar. Additionally, warning letter findings due to process validation will be presented.

Target Group

Employees from companies, who are involved in medical devices process validation activities (developers, QM, manufacturing, Regulatory Affairs, etc.) are addressed. Of course, pharmaceutical companies  which use medical devices as part of a combination product are addressed too as well as consultants in this field, who want to get information from the view of the medical device industry.

Technical Requirements

For our webinars, we use Cisco WebEx, one of the leading suppliers of online meetings.

At http://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html you can check if your system meets the necessary requirements for the participation at a WebEx meeting and at the same time install the necessary plug-in.  Please just enter your name and email address for the test. If the installation is not possible because of your rights for the computer system, please contact your IT department. WebEx is a standard nowadays and the necessary installation is fast and easy.
