Description : This Webinar will focus on the importance of managing FDA oversight of computer system validation in the medical device industry by anticipating and preparing for trends. The type and extent of oversight varies with changes to the economic, political, and business environment. FDA funding, the length of government reach into the private sector, and the ability of companies to lobby the government for less regulation all play a role in terms of the dynamics at play between industry and the FDA. Medical device companies must be vigilant in understanding the factors that impact their ability to operate with oversight from FDA as it relates to computer system validation. In all cases, companies should do the right thing and have robust computer system validation programs that are well executed and documented. However, there are some extremes in oversight that occasionally crop up and may cause expectations to go above and beyond what is considered reasonable. In such cases, companies must determine how much risk to take in terms of the strength of their programs, and how well they are able to negotiate with their FDA auditors. This webinar is intended for those working in the Medical Device Industry, as well as other FDA-regulated industries, including pharmaceutical, biological, animal health and tobacco. Functions that are applicable include research and development, manufacturing, Quality Control, distribution, clinical testing and management, adverse events management and post-marketing surveillance. You should attend this webinar if you are responsible for planning, executing or managing the implementation of any system governed by FDA regulations, or if you are maintaining or supporting such a system.
