Our first event was so popular, we've asked Mark to do it again. The current version of ISO 13485 significantly increased the reference to risk within your QMS. This frightens many people and organizations as they struggle to answer auditor questions.
Over the next two years, the US FDA will adopt ISO 13485 requirements by reference. As an active participant in drafting these requirements, Mark provides a unique perspective on the intent of these requirements. How to incorporate a risk-based approach to the requirements of the QMS, may be easier than you may think.
Who Should Attend: Engineers, Managers, and Team Members responsible for Quality, Reliability, Regulatory, Production, and Medical Device Development
When: Thursday, April 4th, 5:30 pm - 7:00 PM CST
Where: Online Zoom Event. A link will be provided closer to the event date
Cost:
Certificates of Completion: Issued via email, after workshop completion, for .2 ASQ RUs or .2 CEUs
