“ISO/FDIS 13485, The Global Device GMP” updated to include CMDCAS	James E. Stanley, MS Regulatory/Clinical Consultants, Inc.	October 29, 2003	$50 Members with RSVP, $60 "Non Member / Day of the Event"	Don Griego

Abstract

This workshop will be an extension of the monthly meeting and will follow a similar format as his very successful workshop in 2002 in that you will be doing a fair amount of the work but leave with a lot. If you attended his last course, don't worry, the content will be different.

Background Information: The medical device industry has rejected ISO 9001:2000 as too general to be used as a model for medical device manufacturing. A new standard, ISO/FDIS 13485:2003 is complete and due to be released. There are many interesting implications and transition plans involving Europe, Canada, and the rest of the world.

Outline as follows:

I. The evolution of medical device standards and regulations – this section includes a discussion of the timeline of the development and interrelationship of these standards and regulations.

II. Impact of ISO 9001:2000 – in this section we will discuss the influence this standard has had in bringing about the new ISO 13485. We will explore what is different and what is the same.

III. Global device requirements – discussion about what is needed to do business in various countries with emphasis on Canada and Europe.

IV. A detailed review of ISO/FDIS 13485 – during this section we will go through the proposed standard in detail. We will highlight all of the changes and additional requirements that will need to be considered.

V. Implementation considerations – discussion will be about how the new requirements may be implemented. Exercises would be included.

VI. Auditing implications – discussion about how to audit and what auditors will look for to assess compliance.
