June 29, 2006 — /MEDICAL INDUSTRY E-MAIL NEWS SERVICE(TM)/ — FALLS CHURCH VA USA — FDAnews & Immel Resources announced details today of 2 CAPA seminars, Sept 27-29 2006 in Boston MA, and Oct 11-13 2006 in Raleigh NC.
BACKGROUND:
CAPA systems are an area of intense FDA scrutiny. More than 50% of Form 483 observations and warning letters cite CAPA deficiencies. When FDA inspectors identify problems with a CAPA system, they will inevitably target the organization’s entire quality audit system.
“Here’s the intensive CAPA training you’ve been looking for. There’s no fluff and theory in this workshop. You’ll roll up your sleeves to dig into 2 1/2 days of skill building interactive exercises, case studies, small group discussions and mock presentations,” says Jeff Grizzel, Conference Director.
Gain critical investigation techniques in this 2 1/2 day skills-building workshop. Included are 5 interactive exercises, 2 case studies, a “pet peeves” group discussion, current events discussion of possible preventive action projects, a small group review of FDA inspection guides, and a mock presentation to practice and hone your skills.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
Build CAPA investigation techniques to meet intense regulatory scrutiny in this hands-on, interactive workshop, where you will:
— Discover the most recent investigation trends, so you can anticipate expectations before it ends up in a Form 483
— Practice brainstorming techniques for root cause analyses
— Develop proven investigation techniques and strategies to measure effectiveness
— Explore best practices in out-of-specification (OOS) investigations and SOPs
— Learn strategies to manage CAPA systems, and key points to teach employees and peers
— Develop expert internal audit techniques, including clearly discussing critical findings
— Improve persuasion, negotiation and debating skills
— Analyze preventive action issues – the least understood and most neglected part of CAPA
— Better communicate potential risks to senior management – and help your organization take appropriate action
