Drawing upon the comprehensive medical devices expertise within the company, RSQA both contributes to and runs training courses and seminars aimed specifically at medical devices Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs personnel from International Companies and Notified Bodies.
As a part of this function, RSQA seeks to maintain expertise in all emerging medical devices regulatory matters: most recently this has included construction and presentation of training courses and seminars on the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Directive 98/79/EC (IVDD).
Note that RSQA does not run public courses: we find that we can best address our clients' needs by running "in-house" courses at clients' premises.
RSQA’s IVDD course in common with other RSQA products, is modular and may be tailored to meet individual client’s requirements. The course aims, through lectures, seminars and group exercises to provide delegates with detail knowledge of the Directive’s provisions, and may where requested be combined with a written examination: questions are derived from the Directive itself, and from RSQA’s medical devices auditing experience. Successful examination candidates are provided with appropriate Certification.
As required, the IVDD course may be combined with other complementary modules, such as ISO 13485, GMP, Process Validation and others from RSQA’s range.
