The Biomedical Engineering Department of Case Western Reserve
University and the Edison BioTechnology Center, with the support of
other leading Cleveland technology organizations, presents
"Introduction to Medical Device Regulations," a five-day course on
navigating medical products through the FDA approval process. The
course will present a comprehensive overview of the FDA medical
device regulations and various aspects of the approval process.
This seminar will cover these key topics :
… Introduction to FDA and Medical Device Regulations
… Quality Assurance in Product Development
… Design Controls: Requirements & Methods
… Clinical Investigation of Medical Devices
… Bioresearch Monitoring and Post-Approval Issues
Course instructors will include regional and national experts from
government, industry, the legal profession, and trade associations.
Executives from local medical device companies will speak during
lunch on the significance of the regulatory process to the
introduction of new life-saving technologies.
Who Should Attend?
The course is designed for individuals involved in the design,
development and manufacturing of medical devices. The course is also
an excellent choice for biomedical engineering, medical and law
students
NOTE: Student enrollees must have 3rd year or higher status (i.e.,
juniors, seniors, or graduate students).
About The Course
Requirements imposed by the federal government on the healthcare
industry are comprehensive and complex. They impact all disciplines
within the corporate and business structure. Regulations enacted by
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) influence the development of
products in the pharmaceutical, medical device, biotechnology and
healthcare information technology industries. They include all
products used in the practice of healthcare from diagnosis to
treatment and ongoing care.
It is imperative that anyone responsible for designing,
manufacturing, and use of medical devices understand the governing
regulations. Participants will be introduced to the regulatory
process in the international market as well. Often biomedical
engineering curriculums do not include exposure to these critical
areas. Therefore, adding this course to students' curriculum will
give them a competitive advantage. The agenda is structured to
educate biomedical engineering students and to provide basic and
refresher training to industry participants.
An intense, 40 hour, educational program will be led by instructors
drawn from the requisite industries, legal practitioners and
government regulators. Diversity within the faculty and participants
will allow this complex subject to be viewed and understood from the
"real-world" government, industry and legal perspectives. Broadly
defined, the course will include the history and dynamics of the
regulations, government and compliance enforcement structure,
compliance policies and practices, case studies, round table
discussions and extensive interaction with the faculty. Participants
will receive a library of regulatory reference documents and resource
information.
