Why you should attend

In healthcare and life sciences landscape, software plays a critical role in the development and operation of medical devices, pharmaceutical processes, and quality management systems.

As innovation accelerates—from medical imaging systems to thought-controlled devices—ensuring compliance with regulatory standards has never been more urgent.

However, with greater software utilization comes intense scrutiny from the U.S. FDA and other global regulators. Nearly all software quality issues originate during the design, testing, and validation phases.

Regulatory bodies are becoming more adept at identifying shortcomings in verification and validation (V&V) processes, making robust and compliant practices an absolute necessity.

Why This Webinar is a Must-Attend:

    • Ensure Compliance with FDA Standards:
        • Gain insights into the FDA’s preferred documentation models for ERP systems, in-device software, process controls, and cGMP data management.
    • Avoid Costly Mistakes:
        • Learn how to mitigate compliance risks by addressing V&V challenges in design, testing, and validation phases.
    • Adapt to Increased Regulatory Oversight:
        • Stay ahead of auditors by aligning your practices with 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and other key regulations.
    • Improve Product Safety and Quality:
        • Understand how effective V&V directly impacts the safety, efficacy, and reliability of your medical products.
    • Advance Your Career:
        • Build expertise in risk-based validation and regulatory compliance—skills that are in high demand across the industry.

This webinar is ideal for professionals in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biologics, and dietary supplements looking to enhance their software V&V practices and keep pace with evolving compliance requirements.

Equip yourself with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in this highly regulated, resource-constrained environment.
