The Correction and Removals Guidance: Understanding and Implementation
It’s been two years since the guidance was published and device manufacturers are still confused about what to do when it comes to corrections and removals.
Corrections and removals are intertwined with design changes, device improvements and recalls.
How can you tell the differences between a device enhancement — which is not reported to the FDA — a reportable activity and reporting exceptions?
Understanding the definitions is hard enough… but when those definitions don’t agree across the various applicable regulations you need help.
Join industry expert Dan O’Leary for an in-depth explanation. Dan will start with the difference between an enhancement and a reportable change — a change the FDA would classify as a recall. Then, he’ll clarify which changes are not reportable. He’ll explain these ideas using examples, warning letters and recalls.
After attending this 90-minute session you will understand:
- The requirements of Part 806
- The difference between a correction and a removal and how to report them
