Summary: GlobalCompliancePanel will organize a RAPS-preapproved two-day, in-person seminar in Chicago, IL on the topic, Computer System Validation Reduce Costs and Avoid 483s on February 6 and 7, 2014 (Thursday & Friday). Angela Bazigos, CEO of Touchstone Technologies Silicon Valley, Inc. will be the speaker at this two-day session.
The course, Computer System Validation Reduce Costs and Avoid 483s has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Venue, date and timings: The venue for this seminar is Courtyard Chicago Downtown/River North 30 East Hubbard Chicago, Illinois 60611. (Ph: 312-329-2500) The seminar will be on February 6 and 7, 2014, from 9 AM to 6 PM EST.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the seminar is about:
This seminar is about what those in the medical devices industry can do to avoid 483s/Warning Letters from the FDA.
Computer Systems Validation (CSV), also known as Software Validation, is a prime element of the Life Sciences Industry. It is a requirement of all the predicate rules, as well as 21 CFR 11 and Annex 11. The latter impact all areas of ICH Q9 and ICH Q10.
However, it is often very hard to detect the requirement for CSV, and very hard to determine what needs to be done, to meet domestic and/or international regulations or business continuity requirements, if one does not know how to implement CSV. On top of this, to add to the already complicated scenario, the FDA has stepped up 21 CFR 11 inspections that include CSV.
As a result, the number of 483s/Warning Letters due to CSV continues to be on the rise. It is estimated that 20 percent of all Medical Device Recalls are due to incorrect CSV. Currently, there are many outstanding Official Actions by Regulatory Authorities (e.g. 483s, Warning Letters, etc.) that include citations for CSV. This is expected to further escalate as technology advances and companies need to consider Cloud Technologies and, as well as in view of patient privacy issues such as HIPAA
Not understanding CSV can lead to enormous costs: One incorrect implementation of CSV in 2013 resulted in fines of up to a whopping $3 billion. There are several bottlenecks associated with noncompliant CSV: Software Projects requiring CSV often overrun by several months, and corrections to a CSV 483 can result in costs of $250,000 and often multiple issues are found. More importantly, CSV is the pathway to other discovery, development and commercialization of products, and so, CSV failure can lead to failure of those efforts, as well.
This seminar will be a valuable tool in helping professionals understand the ways by which they can ensure CSV and prevent all the troubles associated with lack of it.
