Design Control for Professionals
Overview:
Since 1984 the FDA has identified the lack of proper design controls as one of the major reasons for device recalls. This was the reason FDA formalized the legal requirement for design controls in the Medical Device Amendments of 1996. Device experts have estimated it cost 10 times more resources to correct a poor design after it has been in manufacture than to design it right to begin with. This is in addition to the bad publicity of recalls and other regulatory action. This webinar will emphasize key portions of good design control and poor design control along with some important tools learned by the author over the last 25 years.
