Description

Incorporating a strong quality system during pharmaceutical drugs and medical device design and development by understanding the unique product design and development requirements for final approval and marketing of medical devices and pharmaceuticals through global regulating bodies such as US FDA.

Large and small medical device and pharmaceutical companies have a challenge in dealing with initial stages of a successful product development, specifically in performing a timely, unbiased, scientifically sound documentation of early stages of their discovery. Verification, Validation and Testing after designing their product incorporating quality at each stage of design is a regulatory requirement.

This webinar will pave a solid path to those who want to ensure making their QbD (Quality by Design) the strongest link in their quality system and see their product launched successfully in the market for patients.
