Can you please give a brief description of your job title and what that entails? 

 

My current role is the Head of Quality responsible for our US headquarters located in Minneapolis, MN.

 

Can you give a quick summary of your sessions, “Case Study: Updating Quality Manuals under EU MDR Implementation” and “Accurate Formatting of Periodic Safety Update Reports”?

 

Updating Quality Manuals under EU MDR Implementation – Our project plan team assessed the existing QMS compared to the new MDR regulations, updated our SOP’s, WI’s, forms, templates, IT systems, and then revised the Quality Manual. This was a very cross-functional effort that took a lot of planning and CR work to implement.

 

Accurate Formatting of Periodic Safety Update Reports – We based our initial template on the pharma industry, and revised the format and content of the current PSUR template based upon the recent guidance released.

 

 

Do you have any actionable tips for quality teams regarding setting reporting standards? 

 

• Develop a template and procedure
• Obtain cross-functional alignment of product schedule for PMS Plans
• Review strategy with Notified Body to ensure alignment

 

What are 1-3 main takeaways you hope attendees learn from your presentations?

• Take a risk based approach to help prioritize
• Get started now
