TT SQM CONFERENCE
Suppliers play a vital role in bringing medical devices to market. Manufacturers rely on their suppliers to provide them with the components necessary to manufacture medical devices. However, evaluating, qualifying the potential suppliers, assessing, and monitoring the existing suppliers is a daunting task not only for start-ups but also for SMEs and large companies. It affects patient safety, poses a recall risk, affects the total cost of quality and more. Challenges such as transitioning to MDR/IVDR, managing multiple suppliers that lead to quality-related risk, complaint handling and reporting, and implementing a comprehensive supplier audit and development program can increase the risk of patient harm and significantly impact a company’s competitive edge and bottom line.
To Identify top supplier quality management risks and outline steps to mitigate their impact on the organisation, it is imperative that manufacturers work towards continuously improving their SQM process to ensure improved supplier controls to prevent non-conformance and to ensure quality standards and regulations are met.
Against this backdrop, the 7th Annual European Medical Device and Diagnostic Supplier Quality Management Conference aims to bring together the industry’s top-performing Supplier Quality Management (SQM) professionals under one roof. Distinguished speakers will discuss cutting-edge strategies and procedures for meeting regulatory SQM requirements, implementing risk-based approaches, etc. This two-day in-person conference will provide attendees with live content and highly interactive sessions supported by real-life business examples, case studies, Q&A sessions, panel debates, and interactive workshops. You’ll be able to network with your peers, including leading technology innovators and service providers, while exchanging ideas with the experts in a collaborative setting.
TT QA CONFERENCE
The Medical device industry is always under pressure to speed up product launches, expand into new markets, and conform to many QARA requirements to remain competitive and prosper. The complexity of the rules and their geographic variance can, however, cause bottlenecks. On the other side, the cost of poor quality can be severe. It has been observed that Quality concerns often arise in design, software, and non-conforming materials/components. Problems also occur if a medical device is manufactured and later needs to be recalled. Failing to carry out the right processes can result in product malfunctions or failure and potentially risk the end user.
To recognise the crucial risks and adversities in products and processes and to avoid costly delays, it is essential for manufacturers to have strong quality assurance and control policies. Against this backdrop, TT Group is hosting the 7th Annual European Medical Device and Diagnostic Quality Assurance and Control Conference and aims to bring together the industry’s top-performing QA QC professionals under one roof. The speakers will discuss cutting-edge strategies and procedures for meeting regulatory QMS requirements, minimising the risk of quality failures, and linking QA QC processes throughout the product life cycle. This two-day conference will provide attendees with live content and highly interactive sessions supported by real-life business examples, case studies, Q&A sessions, panel debates, and interactive workshops.
Only at TT QA & QC will you be able to network with your peers, including leading regulatory bodies, manufacturers, and technology innovators. The wealth of knowledge available at the conference can help attendees with their pressing QA & QC challenges, such as transitioning from IVDD to IVDR and how to best use the remaining timeline, embedding QMS in product security, and conducting root cause investigations. There will also be discussions around preparing for regulatory audits, integrating economic operators into QMS, and building a compliant QA QC plan to improve product quality for constantly meeting customer and regulatory requirements.
