Medical Device Corrections and Removals, Recalls and Closures: Best Practices for Call Center Operations and Notice
Are you prepared to tackle recall operations? Often, what separates robust devicemakers that stay in compliance from those that fail is their grasp of corrections and removals, recalls and closures.
The business-savvy understand the complex and interconnected processes and multiple players involved in recall operations in advance. They hone their call center operations and notices protocols before they need to deploy them.
Further complicating the situation is the FDA’s improved infrastructure and relatively recent issuance of guidance documents for use in circumstances where field actions are not triggered by a specific regulatory violation, but instead are based on the manufacturer’s judgment.
With folklore and rumors dominating the talk about recalls operations, you need a trusted source for the facts. Tom Brockhaus, senior vice president, business development and client services, Recall Results, and Seth Mailhot, a partner and lead, FDA regulatory practice group, Husch Blackwell, will explain these often-misunderstood processes from beginning to end: medical device reporting requirements, recall classifications, medical device tracking, training topics of call center agents, preparing informative telephony on-hold messages, preparing mail files to increase delivery rates and methods of conducting effectiveness checks.
This presentation will enable you to identify, navigate and use the exceptions, required records and various reporting methods and their issues to help you ensure any corrections, removals, recalls or closures have the minimum impact on your business.
Webinar Takeaways:
- The benefits and methods of data cleansing mail files, such as Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) and National Change of Address (NCOA) to avoid wasting resources and to increase delivery rates of important recall communications
- The differences between First Class Mail and Certified Mail and considerations on what method to use
- Understanding the different approaches to conducting effectiveness checks, including use of automated telephony feedback systems
- The importance of training call center agents on topics such as recall sensitivity, handling of escalations and identification of incidents
