About the Webinar Series
Manufacturers of finished medical devices sold in the U.S. are required to develop a quality management system appropriate for their organization, processes, and product risks. The Quality System Regulation (QSR) is both a legal requirement and a powerful set of principles that can help companies improve procedures and products, and ultimately the bottom line.
All device company employees should possess a working grasp of those aspects of the QSR and related regulations that pertain to their job responsibilities.
Simple in concept, the QSR requirements can be daunting in their interpretation and implementation. It is important not only to understand what the regulations and guidance documents say, but the rationale behind them, and the practical challenges of developing, establishing, maintaining, and monitoring quality procedures.
This 9 part QSR webinar series provides a comprehensive overview of the Quality System Regulation and related topics.
