Risk Management


This comprehensive course for medical device manufacturers presents risk management concepts used throughout the quality system as well as the lifecycle of the product, from design…to manufacturing…through post-production.

Course Objectives
The program will cover the basic terms of risk management, the appropriate tools for risk evaluation, FDA's expectations for submissions and compliance, as well as how to apply risk management principles to various aspects of a quality system. ANSI/AAMI/ISO 14971:2007 and the GHTF guidance, Implementation of Risk Management Principles and Activities within a Quality Management System, will also be highlighted throughout the course.

Format
This 2½ day program provides intensive coverage of integrating risk management practices and principles into a medical device manufacturer's quality system. This highly interactive format includes relevant examples from a broad product spectrum that demonstrate current industry practices of risk management. In addition, interactive exercises will allow participants to practice applying risk management concepts, principles, and tools throughout the product lifecycle.
