Medical Device Recalls – How to Handle in a Compliant, Diligent Manner

A Medical Device Recall (MDR) can be a handful to deal with. It not only indicates that the device has a quality issue; failing to address an MDR rightly can lead to loss of reputation, not to speak of regulatory penal actions from the FDA. It is up to the company whose device has been recalled, to take prompt, prescribed action. Its actions should be proportionate to the level of risk the faulty device poses.

An MDR should be planned well in advance, for it is not something that a medical device can handle hastily, in a piecemeal fashion. The ways by which to prepare for an MDR is thus a matter of crucial importance. GlobalCompliancePanel, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, will offer this valuable learning at a six-hour webinar it is organizing on October 28.

Susanne Manz, an accomplished leader in the medical device industry with emphasis on quality, compliance, and Six Sigma, will be the speaker at this session. To enroll for this webinar, please visit https://www.globalcompliancepanel.com/virtual-seminar/6-hour-virtual-seminar-on-medical-device-recalls—how-to-handle-in-a-compliant,-diligent-manner-10304LIVE

—————————————————————————————————————–

Even a high degree of preparation by a medical device company cannot completely rule out quality issues that result in a recall. There is no substitute for preparation. The objective of this webinar is to offer learning to its participants on how to prepare for an MDR. Susanne will explain how to decipher signals that could trigger a recall. She will also explain how to face the investigation and what actions are required, what corrective and preventive actions need to be taken, and how to send out notifications to customers and the regulatory bodies.

The expert will give a thorough understanding of the regulatory requirements for dealing with an MDR. She will help understand FDA expectations and regulations, and what to understand and learn from 483s and Warning Letters. The ways of putting robust processes, the basis to efficiently and effectively managing failure investigations, will be explained.

This webinar will also give a proper understanding of recalls, and explain the appropriate corrective and preventive actions that need to be taken. The ways in which these processes link to other aspects of the Quality Management System will be explained. It will give an idea of the best practices for making an MDR efficient. This will help participants prepare for a possible post-recall FDA inspection.

This webinar will have the following agenda:

• Regulatory Expectations
• Medical device authority and guidance
• Complaint Handling, Medical Device Reporting, and Recall requirements
• Recall Types and Classifications
• Failure Investigation
• Difference between a product enhancement and a recall
• Roles and responsibilities
• Non-conforming material control

Robotic surgeons set to spark ‘revolution in healthcare’

Specialists working on patients while controlling automated arms could turn into another standard in medical clinics.

The help of robots in careful rooms are anticipated to change the manner in which activities are performed by enabling medical procedures to be done as keyhole techniques.

As the utilization of mechanical medical procedure turns out to be progressively well known, an expanding number of surgeons are being prepared in how to utilize them. They enable specialists to perform complex strategies utilizing an insignificantly obtrusive methodology.

Expert colorectal specialist Jonathan Morton is among a bunch of doctors who have evaluated the hardware.

He said: “It’s quite exciting to see robotic techniques rolled out – from an ergonomic point of view, the system is set up better so that the stresses on the body are less, reducing injury rates for surgeons.

“It’s not actually the robot doing the surgery – it’s the surgeon with the experience and the knowledge telling the robot what to do, effectively it’s the same as keyhole surgery with robotics.”

The robots have four flexible joints like a human arm and are controlled by a surgeon using a joystick and a 3D screen. The technology is capable of carrying out a wide range of tasks.

CMR Surgical, the company behind the robot, claims the technology will revolutionise healthcare.

The firm’s chief medical officer, Mark Slack, said: “The vision we have is that we have built a system to enable many more patients to get MAS (minimal access surgery) and all the benefits that that brings for them – like reduced complications, reduced pain – and the aim is to put these in as many hospitals as we can.”

The NHS is developing a £50m framework for robotic surgical equipment, soon to be rolled out across the country.

So does the future of surgical procedures rest in non-human hands?

Richard Kerr, of The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS), believes it’s poised to change the nature of surgery forever.

“The robots are not going to be taking over what surgeons do. They will become an integral part of the tools surgeon use to carryout operations on their patients,” he said.

“Maybe in the long-distance future some aspects of surgery may potentially be delivered by robots.”

The RCS says a majority of NHS trusts have guidelines which surgeons are expected to follow when using robotics

Seminar on “Applied Statistics for FDA Process Validation” by GlobalCompliancePanel

The FDA in 2011 provided a guidance titled “Process Validation: General Principles and Practices” for Process Validation in the pharmaceutical industry, during which it established a framework for the same. This framework consists of a three-stage process:

1) Process Design

2) Process Qualification, and

3) Continued Process Verification.

So, what is Process Validation? It is described in Guidance for Industry Process Validation: General Principle and Practices as “…the collection and evaluation of data, from the process design stage through commercial production…” into which the three stages described above are delineated in this Guidance:

Stage 1: Process Design: This is the stage in which commercial manufacturing process is defined, based on knowledge gained through development and scale-up activities

Stage 2: Process Qualification: The stage in which the process design is evaluated to determine if the process is capable of reproducible commercial manufacturing.

Stage 3: Continued Process Verification: Gives the ongoing assurance during routine production that the process remains in a state of control.

While this much is for theory, how do organizations understand the ways to implement these practically? These will be explained in detail at a two-day seminar that is being organized on November 5 and 6 by GlobalCompliancePanel, a leading provider of professional training for the areas of regulatory compliance.

Being organized in Philadelphia, PA, this in person, live seminar will feature the Co-founder and Principal, Adsurgo, Heath Rushing, as the Director. This course has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant’s RAC recertification upon full completion. Please register for this valuable learning session by visiting https://www.globalcompliancepanel.com/seminar/applied-statistics-for-FDA-process-validation-901969SEMINAR

—————————————————————————————————————-

The aim of this course is to help its participants understand how to establish a systematic approach for implementing statistical methodologies into a Process Validation program that is consistent with the FDA guidance. The Director will begin with a primer on statistics, at which he will focus on the methods that will be applied in each remaining chapter.

He will then move on to giving an understanding of how to apply statistics for setting specifications and assessing measurement systems (assays), which are considered the two foundational requirements for Process Validation.

In the third and final step, the Director will show how to apply statistics through the three stages of process validation defined by requirements in the Process Validation regulatory guidance documents.

He will take up methods recommended by regulatory guidance documents through all these three stages and provide references to the specific citations in the guidance documents.

Heath will explain how to apply statistics for a range of functions. These include how to:

• Set specifications
• Assess measurement systems (assays)
• Use Design of Experiments (DOE)
• Develop a control plan as part of a risk management strategy
• Ensure process control/capability.

Although established for the pharmaceutical industry, it is a useful framework for other industries. Analyses in this course use the point-and-click interface of JMP software by SAS.

At this seminar, the Director will cover the following areas:

• Apply statistics to set specifications and validate measurement systems (assays)
• Develop appropriate sample plans based on confidence and power
• Implement suitable statistical methods into a process validation program for each of the three stages
• Stage 1, Process Design: utilize risk management tools to identify and prioritize potential critical process parameters; and define critical process parameters and operating spaces for the commercial manufacturing process using Design of Experiments (DoE)
• Stage 2, Process Qualification: assess scale effects while incorporating large (pilot and/or commercial) scale data; develop process performance qualification (PPQ) acceptance criteria by characterizing intra and inter-batch variability using process design data and batch homogeneity studies; and develop an appropriate sampling plan for PPQ
• Stage 3, Continued Process Verification: develop a control plan as part of a risk management strategy; collect and analyze product and process data; and ensure your process is in (statistical) control and capable.

Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical professionals who are involved with product and/or process design, validation, or manufacturing/control, such as Process Scientist/Engineer, Design Engineer, Product Development Engineer, Regulatory/Compliance Professional, Design Controls Engineer, Six Sigma Green Belt, Six Sigma Black Belt, and Continuous Improvement Manager will benefit from this seminar.

Medical Device Recalls: How to Properly, Compliantly and Promptly Deal with a Recall

The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) authorizes FDA to order recalls of medical devices, under certain circumstances (e.g., situations involving serious and immediate hazards to health) and controls.  With very few exceptions, device recalls by companies are voluntary.

There are three regulations promulgated by FDA that define their authority and the requirements applicable to device manufacturers and importers for the correction or removal-collectively known as recall-of medical devices; the requirements for these regulations are outlined in 21 CFR §7, 21 CFR §806, and 21 CFR §810. Each of these regulations is presented in detail in the following pages. Compliance with these three regulations also touches upon other regulations administered by FDA.

Failure to properly report events and take corrective and removal actions can cause costly problems for a manufacturer and can be life threating for consumer. The number of device companies having their recall classified as a Class 1 (most severe) has surged in the past three years.  We will take the time to interact though the day to navigate all aspect of the recall process

This course will provide understanding recall compliance and the interrelationship on Complaint Handling, CAPA, and Risk Management processes. It will be beneficial to all device manufacturers and is recommended for any individuals or teams that are involved in post marketing of medical devices.

Join Rita Hoffman, RAC an expert in the field of Post-Market Compliance.  Not only will you learn from her over her 40 years in both FDA as a Compliance Officer and Ombudsman, learning from her stories of what not to do, but you will take back a desktop manual on Post-Market reference guide.

Easy Ways You Can Turn Hipaa Compliant Into Success

The first presentation explains the history of HIPAA, why it came into being and its evolution. This covers what HIPAA is, what steps have to be performed to be HIPAA compliant and what HIPAA compliance is.  It also provides definitions to key HIPAA terms, how to define a Business Associate and how to contract with Business Associates.

The second part of the first presentation is an overview of how to manage the HIPAA compliance project.

The second session describes what a Risk Assessment is and how to perform the risk assessment. The materials take the participant through the factors of HIPAA compliance and how to perform a HIPAA Risk Assessment. This encompasses taking the participants through how to do a HIPAA Privacy Risk Assessment, how to do a HIPAA Security Assessment and how to interpret the results, set priorities and develop a plan for addressing the Risk Assessment findings.

The third session takes the participants through how to prepare a set of HIPAA Policies and Procedures. This includes how to reference the HIPAA regulations in preparing the policies and procedures, how to reference the prior HIPAA Risk Assessments and how to prepare the HIPAA training materials.

The fourth session provides the participants with an orientation of the role the IT services in the healthcare organization in addressing the organization’s HIPAA compliance. This encompasses understanding what role IT hardware and software plays in the HIPAA compliance process, what responsibilities IT vendors should have and how to work with vendors. The materials will discuss IT security in the context of an overall organization security program including the value and approach of an IT security vulnerability test.

 

In the last session participants will review what a HIPAA breach is and what to do when a HIPAA breach occurs. This includes determining if a notification occurred, notification requirements and mitigation options.

There will be a wrap up and discussion session providing an opportunity for the participants to discuss specific issues they may have or get direction regarding particular approaches for HIPAA compliance.

The need for HIPAA compliance has evolved since the HIPAA laws were passed in 1996. In addition, as technology has advanced into more use of the internet and web-based hardware and software resources, compliance has also become more difficult and complex.

Now both covered entities (providers of health care services) and their business associates (support vendors) have to implement comparable compliance measures.

Breaches are almost impossible to escape – recent studies show that approximately 90% of covered entities and business associates have had at least one breach of a patient’s protected health information.  And, HIPAA federal penalties can be significant.

Compounding the issue is that almost all states have incorporated the HIPAA regulations, in one form or another, into their state health care privacy laws and/or the courts have accepted the HIPAA regulations as the standard of care for protecting a patient’s health information.

It is important for the health care organization to know what is expected by the regulations.

To satisfy your HIPAA compliance requirements, health care management and staff need to understand the HIPAA privacy and security regulations, understand how to assess your health care organization’s HIPAA compliance status, understand the role of each of the members of your workforce in meeting your compliance requirements and know what to do if there is a breach of your patient health data.

This webinar provides an in-depth review of these subjects and leaves the participant with a solid understanding of what has to be done to be HIPAA compliant.

People who will be benefits from this

• Health Care Organization Ownership and Senior Management
• Office Management
• Business Associates
• Physicians
• Ancillary Service Organizations (Pharmacies, Labs, Radiology)
• HIPAA Compliance Professions
• Health Care System Vendors

Directives on active implantable medical devices (90/385/EEC)

The Commission adopted a package of measures on innovation in health. The package consisted of a Communication and two regulation proposals to revise existing legislation on general medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices. In particular, the Directives on active implantable medical devices (90/385/EEC) and on medical devices (93/42/EEC) are intended to be replaced by a Regulation on medical devices, while the Directive on in-vitro diagnostic medical devices (98/79/EC) is intended to be replaced by a Regulation on the same subject.

The revisions therefore affected all kinds of medical devices including in vitro diagnostic medical devices, from home-use items like sticking plasters, pregnancy tests and contact lenses, to X-ray machines, pacemakers, breast implants, hip replacements and HIV blood tests.

This Seminar will look at what to expect when the new regulation is implemented. Including: the transition period, Effect on Notified Bodies, Impact of the MDR on Quality Management Systems (QMS), technical documentation, clinical trial requirements, UDI and combination products.

Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs) Comparing and Contrasting GMP

To compare and contrast between Good Laboratory Practices and Good Manufacturing practices.

Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs), 21 CFR part 58 are not set of guidelines but they are regulations for conducting nonclinical laboratory studies that support or are intended to support applications for research or marketing permits for products such as food and color additives, human and animal drugs, medical devices for human use, biological products and electronic products that are regulated by the FDA.

GLPs are enforceable by law. They do not include manufacturing of product. GLPS are for non-clinical laboratory studies in which tests article are studied in test system under laboratory conditions to determine their safety. This does not include studies utilizing human subjects, or clinical studies, or field trials on animals.

• What are Good Laboratory Practices
• Why were they created
• What is the objective of GLPs and how are they associated with GMPs and SOPs
• Statistical procedures for data evaluation
• Instrumentation validation
