  • Course introduction

    In cooperation with Swiss MedTech company Medidee and Technische Hochschule Lübeck, oncampus offers a unique training to face the major challenges of EU and International Regulatory Affairs in the field of medical devices.

    The CARAQA course is so unique because it offers an exciting mix of university training, information exchange with industry representatives and consulting services from an internationally leading consultant.

    Experts from the university sector and the MedTech company Medidee as well as regional and international industry representatives will share their insights and experience, will empower you with advanced knowledge and provide you with a broad range of skills to even take duty as a person responsible for regulatory compliance (PRRC) within your company.

    After completing the CARAQA training you will not only be able to perform a smooth transition to the requirements under the EU MDR/IVDR, but you will have insight in various aspects of international registration of medical devices including IVD medical devices. Of course, the training will also cover an in-depth discussion of implementation concepts for QMS and RMS requirements and most current regulatory perspectives on digital health. More information on the content can be found in the study plan of CARAQA Lübeck.

  • Context: EU regulations

    The new European regulatory framework for medical devices (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices - „MDR“ - and Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices - „IVDR“) leads to numerous consequences for all stakeholders of the medical device sector.

    New requirements represent significant challenges, for example with regard to the implementation of a quality management system for medical device manufacturers regardless of the medical device risk class, demonstration of sound clinical evidence for the devices, implementation of the new UDI identification system etc.

    In this context, the „PRRC“, the „person responsible for regulatory compliance“ according to Article 15 of the MDR/IVDR is also newly introduced.

    This demanding context requires highly qualified and competent staff to meet and to resolve the current and future regulatory tasks.

    
    

    Training content: Clinical Affairs, Regulartory Affairs and Quality Assurance

    The CARAQA training is structured into three main pillars: Clinical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance – CA/RA/QA. It will qualify attendees to demonstrate the requisite expertise in the field of medical devices and IVD medical devices in order to fulfill the tasks and responsibilities of a PRRC according to Article 15, MDR/IVDR.

    Learners will be enabled to

    • Identify, analyse and resolve the major challenges of the regulatory changes due to the MDR and IVDR
    • Use strategic, tactical and communication skills when interacting with notified bodies and competent authorities
    • Develop technical expertise in key topics of conformity assessment such as quality management, risk management, post-market surveillance, biocompatibility, usability, safety, clinical investigation and evaluation, and software validation
    • Provide management and engineering support during the development and production of new biomedical products

    The Study Plan can be downloaded here.
    

    Schedule:
    Fridays: 8 hours à 45 min: 09.00 - 10.30, 11.00 - 12.30, 13.30 - 15.00, 15.30 - 17.00
    Saturdays: 6 hours: 09.00 - 10.30, 11.00 - 12.30, 13.30 - 15.00

    
    

    Target audience: MedTech professionals and beyond

    • Biomedical, mechanical, electronic, software or material science engineers, in charge of medical or IVD development and production projects
    • Physicians, pharmacists, scientists or inventors of biomedical devices
    • Employees within the regulatory, clinical and/or quality department of a manufacturing or subcontracting company manufacturing medical devices or IVD, or in a healthcare organization
