An Introduction to the Design and Development of Medical Devices Training Course
A comprehensive introduction to the design and development of medical devices, including device constituent parts of combination products
Details
Course overview
This intensive two-day course will introduce those who are new to medical device design and development to the critical elements of the process. It has been designed to provide delegates with an insight into the tools and techniques required to design and develop a medical device and offer an essential overview of the current regulatory landscape. The importance of safety and efficacy will be covered, as will risk management and documentation. As combination products are a huge market, the programme will also address device constituent parts of combination products.
Attending this event will provide delegates with a comprehensive appraisal of key aspects of this process and an opportunity to discuss the complexities involved with an experienced industry expert.
