ISO 13485 Lead Auditor Training Overview

This course prepares you to perform effective audits of Medical Device Quality Management Systems. You’ll learn how to interpret the verbiage of the 13485:2016 Standard and apply it to your own organization. We also cover the requirements of 21 CFR 820, the federal regulations governing medical device management systems. We’ll take you through the full audit process, including: audit planning and preparation, opening meetings, document review, interviewing auditees, closing meetings and reporting.  Training includes easy-to-use tools to simplify the auditing process.
