Course description
Investigations and CAPA Training
Investigations and CAPA is continually the top 483 observation made by the FDA each year. For Medical Devices the FDA cites 21 CFR 800.100, where “procedures for corrective and preventive actions have not been established.” For drugs, the FDA cites 21 CFR 211.192, where there is a “failure to view investigations.” The PathWise Investigations and CAPA Training course is designed to meet the requirements mandated by world regulatory bodies.
The CAPA training helps you investigate problems in a quality system. We use an interactive approach to show how to effectively apply risk-based methodology throughout the investigation process. As a result, course attendees will be ready when problems occur, and ready to prevent future problems. Specifically, we focus on how you identify issues. Additionally, we instruct how to assess and prioritize these issues, or non-conformances. Finally, we cover how to investigate to root cause, and implement corrective and/or preventive actions. Ultimately, our investigations and CAPA course will reduce repeat CAPAs, and improve root cause identification.
