QMSR Implementation Masterclass

This class addresses all of the elements of the 21 CFR 820 changes. The FDA has amended this regulation to align more closely with the international consensus standard for devices by converging with the Quality Management System (QMS) requirements of ISO 13485:2016. This course aligns regulatory understanding to the framework for the USA with that used by other global regulatory authorities to promote consistency in the regulation of devices and provide a timelier introduction of safe, effective, high-quality devices to patients
