Webinar Overview

The increasing number of recalls of medical devices and drugs has intensified the focus on ensuring their safety and effectiveness. From both regulatory and business liability perspectives, it is crucial for pharmaceuticals and medical device manufacturers to record, track, and report medical devices and drug-related complaints in a systematic manner. Medical device manufacturers find it challenging to uniformly identify and document information on medical devices from internal and external sources. Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies on the other hand find it resource intensive to implement pharmacovigilance processes that help in monitoring and proactively assessing drug safety risk across the product lifecycle.

However, it is mandatory for firms to notify the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the complaints received, device malfunctions, and serious injuries or deaths associated with medical devices and drugs. The risk of receiving FDA warning letters, potential loss of reputation, and heavy penalties, mean that pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies and medical device manufacturers can no longer depend on homegrown systems, stand-alone applications, or manual paper-based systems for handling complaints. A prompt, adequate and effective complaint handling system that can facilitate compliance, reduce product safety risk, streamline workflow processes, and enhance customer satisfaction is the need of the hour.

Join FDA Compliance expert Dr. David Lim, President and Principal of Regulatory Doctor and Expertbriefings.com on this webinar to understand the importance of establishing and maintaining effective medical device and drug-related complaints handling systems, which are compliant with the applicable FDA regulations.

Other key discussion points include:

  • Understanding the US FDA requirements for medical device and drug-related complaint handling systems
  • Best practices for developing and maintaining efficient complaint handling procedures and systems
  • Capturing, processing, archiving adverse events and reaction information for accurate report filing
  • Saving significant time and resources while ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the medical devices and drugs
