Today we are discussing medical device manufacturers’ corrective and preventive action (CAPA) processes.

First, so we’re all on the same page, visit http://medgroup.biz/CAPA for free resources from MasterControl.

The http://medgroup.biz/CAPA link gives you access to webinars, white papers, and more to improve your quality management process and to know the best actions to take when quality events happen.

After you download, let us know: How good is your CAPA process relative to the industry?

For the benefit of the group, what strategies are you really glad you have in place (the ones that saved you the last time you had a quality event)?

Which ones are burdensome and you wish there were a more efficient way?

If we get the quality managers in the group to comment, this could be a valuable discussion indeed.

Thanks to MasterControl for making those resources available to the group for free. That link again: http://medgroup.biz/CAPA.

YES, I WILL

Speaking of Corrective and Preventative Action, and with your encouragement this past week, I will build a new platform for our group. The LinkedIn ground is shifting under our feet and we’d be foolish to let it crack our community’s foundation.

Go to http://medgroup.biz/MOVE now to make sure our communications go uninterrupted.

http://medgroup.biz/MOVE already has an archive of free webinars, interviews, helpful lists (including industry events), and other functionality LinkedIn does not support. Eventually our discussions will move to the new site.

Now, the only place you can find all Medical Devices Group subgroups is at this link: http://medgroup.biz/subgroups

Thank you for your support through our transition.

And I’m open to your ideas about how to create the definitive resource for medical device professionals at http://medgroup.biz/MOVE

No, seriously, I want to hear from you at [email protected]

++++++++++

Schedule and budget for our two major in-person events:

• Feb 1, 2016 http://medgroup.biz/MDMS – an executive education program for Medical Device Marketing and Sales Professionals

• May 2, 2016 http://medgroup.biz/About-10x – our annual meeting, the 10x Medical Device Conference

++++++++++

Make it a great week.
