Synopsis:

Please join us on October 11 for a joint meeting with SDRAN and OCRA. Corrective And Preventive Action (CAPA) has always been a hot topic for quality and regulatory affairs professionals. OCRA has not had a full day CAPA meeting for over three years. Here's your chance to learn from the experts to hear how their company maintains a successful CAPA program.

We will hear from the FDA, who will discuss effective CAPAs and 483 observations. Industry speakers will share their company best practices and industry trends in the US and EU. Statistics, root cause analysis and integration with risk management will be discussed. The last presentation will compare and contrast drug and device CAPA practices. At the end of the day, all speakers will be on a panel for the audience to direct questions.

Please make your reservation early. The online registration due date is October 10, 2017. Only credit cards are accepted for registration.
