This Webinar will outline the basics of design control for medical devices and the device part of a combination product. Failure to develop these products under design control may result in a product that is not suited for the intended market or failure of approval to market from regulatory agencies.
This Webinar will outline the basics of design control for medical devices and the device part of a combination product. The webinar will cover the basics of design control and the overall flow of the design control process. It will also cover the aspects of inputs into the design control process (design inputs) and how inputs are key to the entire process. Understanding the process of design control is essential for the successful development of medical devices as well as a regulatory requirement.
