Course Description

Medical device manufacturing is not an easy process. If anything goes wrong, the entire batch of products is at stake. Is there any solution to it? DHF, DMR, and DHR are the three Ds of medical device that needs to be managed carefully.

Even though these files serve different purposes, it is essential to understand how they are mutually inclusive for effective technical documentation. This seminar offers a deeper insight into the documentation part of medical device manufacturing. Moreover, the seminar will cover the latest requirements proposed by FDA and European Union.

Let’s dive deeper into the topics covered! 

Course Overview 

Breaking down each of these terms for a better understanding of freshers into medical device manufacturing.

·      Design History File (DHF): Includes an entire history of the device’s design, which justifies the currently approved design.

·      Device Master Record (DMR): Associated with device production and highlights the requirements like material, equipment, and surroundings.

·      Device History Record (DHR): Contains production-related documents which consist of dates, quantity, and labels of final products.

It is essential to have proper knowledge of technical documentation because these are submitted to the FDA. Additionally, these play an important role in pre-market approval of the device. It is crucial for regulatory compliance and this course focuses on future trends and the typical table of contents.

The core purpose of this seminar is to highlight the general safety and performance requirements. Moreover, the coach pays special attention to the file auditing process by FDA and notified the body to make the execution of the concept easier for professionals.
