Key Learning Objectives

Why Medical Device Companies are Rubbish at Requirements

After having had thousands of people write requirements during my design control courses, I am not impressed. Requirements engineering appears to be seen only as a regulatory requirement, not something that is value-adding.

This will be a crash course on requirements engineering for medical devices, including how to write user needs and design input requirements.

Presented by: Peter Sebelius, CEO and Consultant, Medical Device HQ

If everyone comes first - they all come last! Escaping the Risk PMS / Clinical Deadlock

MDR has huge demands on our documentation system as well as on the integrity of this system. Errors can have significant consequences in the filing of our devices.

This is particularly true when working with automated procedures for approval workflows or with distributed engineering teams, which care about their individual documentation tasks and the interactions needed to fulfil them. As a consequence, the documentation release takes too much effort to get the line tight and clean. 

Based on implementation of timing diagrams, we want to show options to set up the sync-points, synchronization issues to get effective roll-outs.

Presented by: Stefan Bolleininger, CEO, be-on-quality GmbH

Post-Market Surveillance under MDR (IVDR) – not a regulatory burden only

Despite the burdensome regulatory requirements in terms of post-market surveillance of medical devices (and in-vitro diagnostic devices), the manufacturer actually has a great opportunity to create value-adding data during the PMS. With a well-planned strategy, where the manufacturer makes conscious choices when applying the available state-of-the-art methods, questions of concern, data sources and methods, an increased knowledge about the devices within the post-market phase will ensue.

This session will provide an idea of a value-creating, dynamic PMS, showing how this activity is not a regulatory burden only.

Presented by: Werner Knopp, Managing Director, Keymkr GmbH

Documenting Cyber Security in Design Controls and Traceability

The large amounts of Cyber Security standards and guidances released for medical device development during the last few years reflects the increased importance of this domain. But how do medical device manufacturers implement these guidances, and how are they documented in real life? 

In this talk, we will look at a number of examples and approaches that reflect how companies chose to implement Cyber Security for Medical Devices.

Presented by: Karl Larsson, MSc, MBA, Technical File Specialist and co-founder of Aligned AG

Key Learning Objectives

How to obtain your MDR certificate - Secrets from the Inside

Getting an MDR certificate has become the focus of the majority of medical device manufacturers. As everyone are scrambling for an opportunity to submit their documentation, it becomes paramount to make sure that the technical documentation is complete and consistent. But is this sufficient?  

A former Notified Body Auditor gives you insights on how an application is processed and assessed and what you can learn from it. Find out about common pitfalls, best practices, and the fastest way to get to your CE mark.

Presented by: Pontus Gedda, former Technical Manager and Auditor at Intertek, Medical Device Specialist

Formative and summative Usability Evaluations – how to identify use problems and take advantage of them

Formative and summative evaluations are the heart of the Usability Engineering Process for medical devices and software. They are not only essential for the compliance with IEC 62366 but also a tremendous opportunity to fine-tune the design of the device.  

Learn how to target Usability Evaluations to generate maximum benefit and accelerate your medical product development process.

Presented by: Dr.-Ing. Benedikt Janny, CEO, USE-Ing. GmbH

Enter the Dragon - How to get approval for a Medical Device Software in China

With 1.3 billion residents, China is one of the largest medical device markets and a tremendous potential for western medical device manufacturers. But what does it take to accommodate China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and get the regulatory approvals necessary?

Learn more about how NMPA compares and contrasts to regulations like MDR or FDA from an expert that has already made this journey.

Presented by: Sonja Biernatzki, Regulatory Affairs Manager at Roche Diagnostics

How do you identify ALL risks?

ISO 14971 forces medical device manufacturers to think about all the characteristics that could affect safety. But how do you demonstrate that you have "thought of all charachteristics"? How do you make sure that no risks were missed? How do you argue that you have successfully completed the task of risk identification?

In this talk, we will use examples to explore various methods of risk identification and demonstrate how digital tools can make this process simple and efficient.

Key Learning Objectives

SaMD Development is easy, right?

Developing a software-only medical device is by many perceived as complicated and sometimes even overwhelming! The rigid regulations and numerous standards governing medical device development seems to stand in stark conflict with the rapid-evolving design practices and emerging technologies that lie at the heart of software development.   

In this webinar, we will compare and contrast the development of SaMD devices with more traditional medical devices. You will learn how to handle challenges unique to SaMD development, in the large and small.

Presented by: Christian Kaestner, co-author of IEC 62304 and IEC 82304-1, expert at Medical Device HQ 

No Risk, No Fun - More Risk, More Gain!

To develop and maintain a risk management file always means a lot of effort. How can we ensure that we get the maximum gain for this effort? 

Join us for a deep dive into medical device risk management, its principles and the underlying intentions, and present an approach how to implement state-of-the-art risk management for medical devices. Make no mistake: risk management remains a large effort if you follow this approach. However, with a deeper understanding you will be able to leverage more from this effort, and will experience that risk management sessions may be fun!

Presented by: Dr. Dirk Hüber, Head of Quality, Congenius

Two for the price of One - Using Task Flow Analysis to create your IEC 62366 Use Scenarios 

Use Scenarios are the starting point of any IEC 62366 driven usability effort when applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to medical devices.

But what method shall I use to identify and structure the Use Scenarios for my medical device?

Discover Task Flow Analysis, an efficient and collaborative technique used in several industries to not only identify and describe critical tasks, but also as a useful tool to uncover usability related hazards. This method elegantly describes the context in which the device is used and has a number of benefits that will accelerate your medical device development documentation. 

Learn from this session about the processes, techniques, and tool support available for successful IEC 62366 Use Scenario design.

Key Learning Objectives

The secret life of Medical Device Development

Let me take you on a holistic walk through the act of developing a medical device, joining dots rather than picking on a discrete activity.
There is a lot of common sense that underpins the regulation but it seems lost in both presentation and interpretation.
Taking a step back and asking: “Why are we doing this?” can help you to see the woods beyond the regulatory trees.

Presented by: Mike Heald, CEO, Commala

Demystifying software risk management

Medical device software risk management is often perceived as complicated to understand and work with – it is not!
In this seminar, you will not only get the foundational understandings, but you will also understand how to practice medical device software risk management!

Presented by: Christian Kaestner, co-author of IEC 62304 and IEC 82304-1, trainer at Medical Device HQ 

Human-centered development as a driver of medical product innovation

If you want to create medical devices that people love, then usability, user experience (UX), and ergonomics is the road forward.
We will describe how you can establish a human-centered development process and how using prototypes with real users during the early stages can provide new and powerful insights.
We will explore the usability and human factors engineering regulatory underpinnings and their relation to ISO 13485.
We will dissect which types of use-related risks exist and how they can be analysed according to ISO 14971 during your product development.

Presented by: Dr.-Ing. Benedikt Janny, CEO, USE-Ing. GmbH

EUDAMED - how bad can it be?

If you thought you had covered Eudamed by implementing UDI's, then think again!
In this talk, we will address the deliverables required by medical device manufacturers, how to use medical device codes, how to communicate with the Eudamed servers.
We'll describe how to deal with legacy devices and how you can best organize your work to efficiently meet the Eudamed challenges ahead.

Eudamed is coming for you. We will help you prepare.

Presented by: Richard Houlihan, CEO, Eudamed Ltd, former technical manager for Eudamed 2 and MDR EUDAMED July 2017 - April 2019 

Finding, eliminating, and avoiding errors in Design Control Documentation - before audits and submissions

Having spent years developing and documenting a medical device just to get it rejected by a Notified Body or the FDA is a costly and disheartening experience.
