Please consider joining us at our MD&M (Medical Design and Manufacturing) conferences which are held regionally throughout the year.
This year, device companies had more Class 1 recalls than ever before. As such the industry has come under increased scrutiny by the FDA. With 700 new inspectors recruited to solely focus on recalls, manufacturers, OEMs, and suppliers must now be prepared. With the onus of responsibility on manufacturers and OEMs to deliver on FDA requirements, current supplier control management programs may not be enough; particularly in the context of today’s global supply chain. However, suppliers must also understand their contribution to compliance, and learn how they can avoid costly mistakes.
Attend this MD+DI’s inaugural annual conference, designed to provide Quality Assurance professionals with the practical tools and expert guidance they need to achieve ongoing compliance. Join us in December for a finely tuned agenda covering:
• Structuring domestic and international supplier agreements
• Better managing your supply chain and minimizing product liability
• Implementing a supplier control management system that is both compliant and efficient
• Reviewing FDA enforcement and compliance policies for 2012
• Developing processes and protocols for dealing with a recall, non-compliance order and complaint handling
• Overcoming the challenges associated with risk management and supplier qualification
• Preparing for an FDA audit – with real case learning and practical guidance
Benefit from expert insights from our speaker panel including:
• Judy Kim, Director of World Wide Quality Systems and Compliance, Cordis, a Johnson and Johnson Company
• John M Margetson, Director of Supplier Quality, Abbott Quality and Regulatory, Abbott Laboratories
• Denise Dion, Vice President, Regulatory and Quality Services, EduQuest (Former FDA Investigator- Medical Device Expert)
