✦ Synopsis

This third edition provides a substantial comprehensive review of the latest design control requirements, as well as proven tools and techniques to ensure a company`s design control program evolves in accordance with current industry practice. It assists in the development of an effective design control program that not only satisfies the US FDA Quality Systems Regulation (QSR) and 13485:2016 standards, but also meets today`s Notified Body Auditors` and FDA Investigators` expectations.

The book includes a review of the design control elements such as design planning, input, output, review, verification, validation, change, transfer, and history, as well as risk management inclusive of human factors and usability, biocompatibility, the FDA Quality System Inspection Technique (QSIT) for design controls, and medical device regulations and classes in the US, Canada, and Europe. Practical advice, methods and appendixes are provided to assist with implementation of a compliant design control program and extensive references are provided for further study.
