Frequently Asked Questions

Why is design controls training important?

The design controls section of 21 CFR 820.30 can be one of the most challenging regulations to understand and implement due to the inherent complexity of medical device product development and due to regulation ambiguity. An incorrect understanding of design controls regulation may lead to inadequate medical device development activities and documentation. Inadequate development activities and documentation may potentially lead to FDA observations which may impact a business's bottom line.  Design controls training is highly recommended for medical device professionals that are new to design controls or would like to increase their design control knowledge to enable them to more effectively implement design control concepts.
