Overview of the webinar

This webinar will identify the most common elements identified as deficient by FDA, and provide recommendations for how to provide clear, concise documentation to assure FDA your firm has addressed these in your quality system. This webinar also provides recommendations to assure that in addition to being able to illustrate compliance, your firm’s CAPA system is useful and meaningful. 

CAPA is the most cross-functional of all subsystems of the QMS. It is fraught with potential pitfalls and nonconformances, all of which will be addressed in this session:

  • Distinction between corrective and preventive action 
  • Assuring all types of data are captured in CAPA
  • The importance of assuring root cause investigation
  • Understanding CAPA closure and the pitfalls in establishment of KPIs 
  • Documenting CAPA implication when CAPA is not implemented
  • Adequacy of assuring CAPA effectiveness

Who should attend?

This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies, since a CAPA program is a requirement across the Medical Device, Diagnostic, Pharmaceutical, and Biologics fields.

The employees who will benefit include: 

  • CAPA Coordinators 
  • Executive Management 
  • R&D Management  
  • Regulatory Management 
  • QA Management 
  • Consultants 
  • Quality System Auditors

Why should you attend?

Year after year, CAPA is the subsystem cited most frequently during FDA inspections. A robust Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) program is of the utmost importance to a medical device manufacturer. A system that identifies and eliminates nonconformances and potential nonconformances enables both regulatory compliance and cost savings. This session will discuss the importance, requirements, and elements of a CAPA program, as well as describing the uses of CAPA data. Additionally, the application of risk management to a CAPA program will be reviewed, and a specific risk management system detailed.

This session will cover all the items listed above, and more. If you want to improve your CAPA system, you cannot afford to miss this.
