Join your quality and regulatory colleagues from ASQ Northern California Biomedical and the RAPS San Francisco Bay Area Chapter for a lively and informative workshop that explores effective methods for avoiding common 483 observations and Notified Body audit non-conformities.

Food and Drug Administration, Notified Body and industry presenters will take a deep dive into key areas where device and diagnostic companies often have compliance struggles. Interactive sessions will highlight GMP systems, with particular focus on CAPAs, Complaints, Design Control, and Risk Management, and use these as a framework for discussing what’s not working and best practices for how to get it right. In a bonus segment, a Notified Body Director will provide insight into an auditor's focus during the MDSAP process.

This workshop will benefit regulatory, quality and R&D personnel from device and diagnostic companies.

Speakers:
Eric Anderson, supervisory consumer safety officer, Food and Drug Administration
Bradley Chen, director, medical products division, TUV-USA/Nord
Denise Dion, vice president regulatory and quality services, EduQuest, Inc.
Mary Beth McDonald, senior director, quality assurance, Chrono Therapeutics
