CAPA ( Correcive and Preventive Actions) for FDA regulated arena such as Medical Device, Food and Pharmaceutical industries is getting a lot of attention today by FDA and ISO auditors. CAPA requirements have been tightened for ISO 13485: 2016 requirements.CAPA has been heaviliy scrutinized by FDA for 21 CFR 210/211 and 820 to deal with non conformances in quality systems. Several FDA findings have been cited for inadequacy in quality management systems as FDA 483s and Warning letters. This is because it has been found to be very challenging to understand and fulfil the FDA CAPA needs for medical devices and drug manufacturers and by the suppliers to these industries.

In the current environment of global standardization of quality and regulatory needs, learning to understand and interpret the risk based FDA’s CAPA regulatory requirements for medical device and drug companies and fulfilling them is extremely important. Strong CAPA documentation will lay the foundation to bullet proof FDA audits of your quality systems. This webinar will provide a step by step approach and valuable tips for understanding the CAPA requirements from a regulatory point of view and setting up your CAPA system and CAPA records for your Medical Device, Food and Pharmaceutical world.
