Drug and Device Recalls Summit
Drug and Device
Recalls Summit
Bethesda, MD • April 29-30, 2014
This Event Has Been Cancelled.
For now, this conference is not being rescheduled,
but we will let you know if this changes.
Drug and device recalls increased as much as 28% last year, what some industry observers have called a “recall-o-rama.”
Thoratec, Pfizer, Respironics, Teleflex, Ben Venue, Tandem Diabetes Care and Dr. Reddy’s are just a few of the companies that have been hit.
How can you avoid being next?
Some experts have been concerned there’s too MUCH recall reporting – firms are over-reporting just to be safe. Others charge firms with not acting fast enough. It’s clear there’s serious confusion among drug and device makers.
Drug and Device Recalls Summit
Who knows when the day will come that one of your products faces a recall? It could be tomorrow … next week … a year from now.
Sadly, many firms are complacent about recalls — and woefully unprepared. Yours may be among them.
Does your company have an up-to-date recall plan? Or is it an old one, in a dusty binder somewhere on a shelf — or buried deep in your SOP archives?
Do you know the last time your recall plan was reviewed? Does it meet the FDA’s evolving standards for recalls? Has it ever been tested with a mock audit?
If you answer “no” or “I don’t know” to any of these questions — or if you believe in the need to be proactive and prepared — you must plan NOW to attend the FDAnews conference Drug and Device Recalls Summit on April 29-30 in Bethesda, MD.
