Do you also need a CAPA Procedure?
Companies that receive a non-conformity or FDA 483 inspection observation often need a new CAPA procedure as well as CAPA training. Our CAPA procedure, and all of our quality system procedures, are risk-based. Specifically, we use the GHTF grading system to score CAPAs in the same numeric scoring system used for MDSAP audit findings. Therefore, this is the perfect CAPA procedure and form for ISO 13485 certification and MDSAP certification. The CAPA procedure also includes a webinar, but the webinar focus is specific to implementing the procedure and customizing it for your company. In contrast, this risk-based CAPA training webinar explains the details of performing a CAPA investigation, identifying the root cause, writing a corrective action plan, and performing effectiveness checks.
Description of the CAPA training webinar on how to create a risk-based CAPA process
A risk-based CAPA process is a common goal of medical device manufacturers, but until recently “risk-based” was not clearly defined. The two quality management system standards, ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 were revised and re-issued. The current versions are: ISO 9001:2015 released in October 2015 and ISO 13485:2016 released in February 2016. The biggest fundamental change in both standards is an emphasis on risk-based process management. The CAPA process is the heart of your quality system and one of the most important processes. Therefore, this CAPA training gives you a whole new set of tools for managing your CAPA process using a risk-based approach.
A risk-based CAPA process is more than prioritization
This CAPA training goes beyond simple prioritization of CAPAs and color-coding of CAPAs as high, medium, and low risks. Instead, Rob Packard reviews best practices in risk management (i.e., ISO 14971:2019 and ISO/TR 24971:2020) and he applies the more rigorous risk management process to the CAPA process.
This is a “must-see” presentation for anyone that is responsible for the CAPA process or participates in their company’s CAPA Board. Register for our CAPA training and our speaker will help you integrate risk management activities with your CAPA process.
