One of our most popular webinars, continuously updated with the latest U.S. FDA and Eurpean Union requirements. As U.S. companies go global, they must meet different product design documentation. The cGMPs mandate Design Control and the Design History File (DHF); ISO 13485 7.3 requires the same. In order to sell globally, the EU's CE-marking documentation is a requirement -- the Technical Document FiIe. Currently they serve differnt purposes, support different goals, but the TD is moving in the direction of the DHF. And the DHF is adapting to some of the features of the TD. And how / where do the DMR and DHR fit? Being aware of the similarities and differences in the files and their individual documents can further concurrent development and/or updates to both.
Course Objectives:
This webinar will examine the existing and proposed requiements for the U.S. FDA's Design History File (DHF) and ISO 13485 7.3's Design and Development File; both proof of compliace to the regulations. Also discussed are their derivitive documents, the DMR and DHR. It will consider the European Union's MDR Technical Documentation requirements, and evaluate the documents' differing purposes / goals, as well as the two different device classification schemes. Required and desirable contents will be discussed.
