Medical Device Complaint Handling Training-Topic Background

Medical Device Reporting (MDR) and recall acquiescence are dangerous to the enduring existence of all device producers. The FDA is continuing its efforts to issue frequent FDA Warning Letters and grave implementation actions, including illegal & civil disadvantages levied on businesses that failed to properly report events and take proper corrective and removal actions. The number of device companies having their recall classified as a Class 1 (most critical) recall has surged in the last three years. Furthermore, product responsibility and monetary risks are staggering when companies fail to appropriately report and take action when required.

It will be helpful to all device manufacturers and is optional for any individuals or teams that are involved in medical device reporting (MDR) and correction & removal processes, including recalls.
