This CAPA training/webinar for Medical device will guide you how CAPA and complaint handling should interact in Medical Device and it will mention the Differences between the FDA's approach and the ISO approach.

FACT: Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) is one of the areas cited most frequently in FDA's observation reports (483's) and warning letters. Many companies have deficiencies in both procedures and execution. One reason is that CAPA and complaint handling are interwoven, complex areas that need to be thought out and codified carefully. If a company's (quality) management does not fully understand the intricacies involved, chances are that either one or both of those processes quickly will become non-compliant. Unneeded complexity of the SOP's governing these areas can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the CAPA and complaint handling processes.

Every medical device company must have procedures in place for complaint handling and corrective and preventive action (CAPA). CAPA and Complaint Handling are discussed in relation to one another and when to use one versus the other. The documentation requirements will be discussed.
