How to Prepare Successfully for Your MDSAP Audit
Two-Day Applied Course
The Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) defines a harmonized approach to regulatory quality management system (QMS) audits. The program is recognized by Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, and the United States.
MDSAP was developed as part of a global initiative to accelerate the harmonization of regulatory requirements for medical device market authorization. Through a single audit, the quality management system requirements of multiple regulatory authorities can be assessed simultaneously.
However, preparation for an MDSAP audit can be complex, time-consuming, and resource-intensive, posing a major challenge for many manufacturers.
In this interactive seminar, you will gain insight into the structure, planning, and execution of MDSAP audits and receive practical guidance on how to efficiently implement the program’s requirements within your organization.
