Webinars & Virtual Events
Understanding the ROI of an EQMS Solution
The implementation of a quality management system (QMS) is key to the success of a medical device company, and the speed at which it can operate. However, success can be more difficult to achieve with a paper-based QMS or disconnected systems. Without an electronic QMS solution, purpose-built for MedTech, to help guide new device development, the number of regulations, processes, and challenges may also seem overwhelming. Register for this free webinar to gain valuable insights and proven best practices from our panel of medical device professionals in three key areas defined in this recent study: improving organizational efficiencies, mitigating risk, and growing/protecting revenue.
NAMSA Training Series: Biological Safety – Course A
NAMSA’s Biological Safety Training Series is geared toward medical device professionals who require a working knowledge of biological safety and biocompatibility. Participants, through hands-on exercises, will demonstrate how to use standards to establish a biological safety evaluation, perform appropriate documentation and implementation of an evaluation plan, and review risk assessments and practice evaluation of biological risk.
NAMSA Training Series: Biological Safety – Course B
This two-day training course is designed for those who have received certification in the NAMSA Training Series Biocompatibility of Medical Devices – Two-Day Certification (Course A). Participants, through hands-on exercises, will learn to assess a device for biological risks, gain a better understanding of what testing is necessary and when, calculate safe limits with practical chemical characterization data, and plan an efficient strategy to endure potential obstacles
