ISO 13485 Training Project Seminars – Foley Hoag LLP/Emerging Enterprise Center Bay Colony Corporate Center8:00 am – 11:00 am
Jointly sponsored by MassMEDIC and the Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MassMEP).
ISO 13485 represents a comprehensive management system for the design and manufacture of medical devices and is often viewed as the first step in achieving compliance with European Union medical device regulatory requirements. As many more OEMs look to the European market as a preferred region for product launch, suppliers must consider this quality standard as essential to sustaining supply connections to the medical device market.
MassMEDIC and MassMEP are partnering to form an educational collaborative that will bring low-cost ISO 13485 training to the region’s medtech community. To learn more about how your company can participate in this training collaborative, I invite you to attend any one of the following informational sessions, scheduled as follows:
Training sessions will commence in the first quarter of the 2012 and, meeting once a month for a day-long session over a six month period. The training will include monthly on-site visits by ISO trainers as well as hands-on preparation and assistance in submitting your company’s ISO 13485 certification application. A flyer with additional information on the collaborative program is included.
If your company is ISO 9001 registered but not ISO 13485, there are benefits to obtaining both certifications. ISO 9001 focuses on business aspects not found in 13485 thus providing your company with a stronger business management application.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions about this important training initiative –sommer@massmedic.com.
To register for one of these events, please contact Kathie Mahoney at 508-831-7020 or kathiem@massmep.org. There is no fee to attend, however preregistration is required.
