Course notes and access to an extensive collection of reference documents are provided.
Developing software in compliance with FDA regulations, Guidance documents and international standards is challenging. This course helps medical device manufacturers develop software in a manner that is both compliant and practical.
Day 1 is focused on the recently announced FDA Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR). The existing Design Control Regulation (QSR) has been replaced with ISO 13485:2016. Differences and similarities between the existing QSR and the new QMSR regulations are discussed. In addition, the requirements of ISO-13485 section 7.3 are discussed from the perspective of software development. Corresponding requirements from IEC 62304 Medical Device Software Lifecycle Processes are included. Current FDA Guidance documents and international standards that pertain to software are reviewed as well as requirements for SaMD.
Day 2 is focused on Risk Management including Safety Risk Management, as defined by ISO 14971:2019, and Security Risk Management, as defined by ANSI/AAMI SW96:2023.
Day 2 also includes recommendations on Writing Requirements for Software and Software Tool Validation for software development tools and software used in Manufacturing and in QMS.
The training is presented in an interactive style with time allotted for discussions. Questions are encouraged!
This course is intended for software engineers, project managers, quality managers, software quality professionals, RA/QA staff, and anyone who is interested in learning about cost-effective processes and procedures that will enable their organizations to deliver high quality software-based medical devices that comply with FDA regulations and international standards. This course is also appropriate for people who are new to the medical device industry. Course notes and access to an extensive collection of reference documents are provided.
Through training participants will learn to develop cost-effective processes and procedures that will enable their organizations to deliver high quality software-based medical devices that comply with FDA regulations and international standards.

Summary and Q&A
Chris, Angelo and Barbara,
The recent meeting “What we can learn from FDA Warning Letter” was an excellent and exactly what I was looking for. Please keep me on the list for future meetings. Real professional of you folks. I have given your companies information out to an acquaintance from ASQ as a source for training for internal auditing. Looking forward to a long relationship with your team.
Hi Angelo,
Great ISO 13485:2016 Internal Auditing class, honestly the most well run and informative class I’ve taken.
Hi Angelo,
We are satisfied with the process and the report. Gordon does a good job! He is up on the regulations and what we need to focus on. I have found in past years what he points out is what comes up on the radar with the Notified Body. It helps us to be ready for the process.
