Writing Effective Nonconformity Statements During Medical Device QMS Audits

This virtual instructor-led one-day course will introduce you to the importance of writing effective nonconformity statements during medical device manufacturer quality management systems audits.

This course covers the fundamentals of medical device QMS auditing that influence the writing of effective nonconformity statements; and how to recognize when to communicate nonconformities during an audit; and identify tools and tips for writing effective nonconformity statements.

In addition, learners will apply the concepts covered during the course through practical application. Working in groups, learners will review multiple nonconformity scenarios, develop nonconformity statements relative to the scenarios and participate in instructor-led analysis of the nonconformity statements.

This course pairs well with CQI IRCA-certified QMS Lead Auditor based on ISO 13485 2016 and MDSAP Requirements, EU MDR Internal Auditor (2 day), EU IVDR Internal Auditor (2 day), and MDSAP Internal Auditor Training (2 day).

ISO 14971:2019 Risk Management for Medical Devices and IVDs-Practical Application

ISO 14971:2019 provides guidelines for manufacturers to establish, document and maintain a risk management process to identify hazards, estimate and evaluate the risks associated with the identified hazards, control risks and monitor the effectiveness of the controls. An effective risk management program applies to all stages of the medical device lifecycle and is an integral part of a manufacturer’s quality management system.

This virtual instructor-led two-day course presents the key foundations of the risk management process defined in ISO 14971:2019 and provides expert tips on how to navigate the process including review of TIR 24971:2020.

This course is highly interactive and includes practical instruction, case study exercises and a competency assessment.

This course also includes a self-paced two-hour ISO 14971:2019 overview eLearning module that must be completed prior to the start of the live instruction.

This course pairs well as a prerequisite to Design Controls for Medical Devices and IVDs (2 day).
