Software Validation Requirements and Industry Practice

This 3 day course supplies attendees with information and tools needed to comply with the software validation requirements of the Quality System regulation, and provides guidance on how to implement effective validation programs. In addition, the course includes a discussion on ANSI/AAMI/IEC TIR80002-1 and how it relates to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 14971; an explanation on cybersecurity for networked medical devices containing Off-the-Shelf (OTS) software; an update on Part 11: tips on production and quality system software; and class exercises.

Objective
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to apply the principles of software validation to their product, production process, and quality system. Participants also come away from the course with an awareness of relevant standards, FDA guidance documents, and other resources that will assist in defining acceptable compliance practices.

Format
This 3-day program provides intensive coverage of the elements of software validation. This highly interactive training format will include a variety of situational analyses that provide participants with the opportunity to apply new information to actual software validation scenarios. Industry "best practices" and FDA Warning Letters will be presented to demonstrate approaches to validation and paths to compliance.
