Medical Device Recall - FDA Authority, Policy and Best Practices to Avoid / Manage: 2-day In-person Seminar March 21, 2013

Course Description:

FDA’s recall authority and program launches you into a project of crisis management. You will learn how to establish a roadmap for conducting recalls. The recall management knowledge you gain will sharpen how you determine the health and legal risks associated with your recall and what you can do to avoid future recalls. You will understand the critical performance targets to accomplish an effective recall and learn how missteps in the recall process become counterproductive and expensive. You will take away practical knowledge on how to work with FDA staff during a recall and how you can prepare for inspectional follow up or an enforcement action. You will learn that your approach to an enforcement action plays a major role in mitigating the firm’s business consequences due to a recall. A firm with a history of chronic recalls needs to learn how to get out of that downward spiral. Likewise, for established and new firms you will learn how you can reduce the likelihood or significance of a recall with proper planning.
