Why should you Attend?

It is always about success not failures right? But in the life sciences, we must address failures as well. Complaints and product issues must be handled expeditiously according to regulation or we will suffer the wrath of the FDA.

Regulatory audits and FDA 483 regulatory observations are the two events that are a constant worry for managers in regulatory industries. From 2012 to 2016, the FDA has increased the number of warning letters issued by over 1200% in terms of the FDA. This is the primary reason that understanding CAPA and having a comprehensive CAPA system is critical to maintaining regulatory compliance.

A CAPA system can help to identify problems before they become critical, can go a long way in the development of positive relationships with regulatory agencies by instilling confidence in your company's ability to identify and solve problems quickly and effectively, and further that confidence by convincing regulatory bodies and clients that identified problems have been resolved.
