Regulatory Reliant Internal Auditing for Medical Devices

Regulatory Reliant Internal Auditing for Medical Devices is for existing Internal or Lead Auditors seeking the knowledge & skills to perform internal audits based on integrating ISO 13485, MDSAP and FDA QMSR requirements.

Under Regulatory Reliance models, regulators increasingly depend on the effectiveness of your quality system and the credibility of your internal audit programme to inform audit outcomes, inspection scope, and regulatory confidence.

Many organizations discover this the hard way when internal audits pass, yet MDSAP nonconformities escalate, where FDA inspections uncover gaps that should have been caught internally and when Audit Programmes exist, but do not withstand regulatory scrutiny.

This course is designed for organizations that recognize that internal auditing is now a regulatory control, not a compliance formality. Our live learning methodology focuses on practical ‘learn by doing’ workshops set in a real life context.
