The US FDA is increasingly stating that many regulated activities should be “risk-based”. Major resource-consuming activities such as product and process/equipment/facility, and software validation, CAPA investigations, vendor audits can all be tailored to a risk based approach This eliminates the current SOP-defined “one size fits all” approach, to a flexible, resource adjusted approach, less arbitrarily defined in an SOP, but yielding results targeted to real needs. Attendees will be helped to see how to develop a compliant Hazard Analysis/Risk Management File and Report, as outlined in ISO 14971:2007, a standard recognized by the FDA and rapidly being adopted by industry. Then how to use this document to accomplish the above goals.
Areas Covered in the seminar:
- An overview of the new ISO 14971:2007 standard with emphasis on changes from the 2001 version.

Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will provide valuable information to all regulated companies that are developing, maintaining and updating their products' Risk Management Files/Reports. All regulatory activities have as risk-base approach, and compliance with risk management standards form the basis for using this approach. A risk based approach can best utilize limited resources for maximum impact in key activities such as CAPA, validation and verification, root cause/failure investigations, and similar. It offers an alternative to a 'one size fits all' approach, most often used to ill effect in many companies.- For employees and management in the Medical Device, Pharmaceutical, Diagnostic, and Biologics industries
