Overview:

This webinar will cover the basics of design control as applied to medical devices or combination products which include a medical device. The regulatory requirements for medical device design control will be covered including FDA and ISO requirements. The basic flow of design control will be explained as well as the necessary trace from design inputs to outputs. Emphasis will be placed on the concept of user needs and product requirements development as part of design control. 

Why you should Attend:

An understanding of design control is crucial to the development and support of regulated medical devices and combination products which contain a medical device. Not only is the application of design control concepts required by regulatory agencies, but proper application of design controls will help ensure a properly designed and well-made product will be produced.
