Course Description

This seminar is designed for medical device professionals including those in the In-Vitro Diagnostics Industry. It provides an overview of the device approval pathway for class 1, 2, 3 medical devices as well as IVD/LDT devices. It provides key clinical trial elements and an overview of monitoring including the FDA Guidance on a Risk-based monitoring approach to clinical research. This seminar also provides a solid review of monitoring activities using a focused quality approach and resolving GCP issues using CAPA plans. It consists of a comprehensive review of the GCP obligations of the sponsor and the investigator, the FDA Guidance: Investigator Supervisory Role, the regulations that protect the rights and safety of human subjects. This seminar reviews the key documents and elements of the clinical investigation at the site level, including the Investigator Study File and the Sponsor's Trial Master File, the report requirements and the reporting timeframes. Informed Consent, CAPA and AE Exercises are performed to enhance learning.
