Canada Medical Device Regulations

This virtual instructor-led course was designed and developed by the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) Lead Project Manager responsible for the team that designed, implemented, and maintained the MDSAP program.

This training focuses internal auditors on the applicable MDSAP country-specific requirements that are applicable to the auditee organization. This focus, when used in conjunction with an existing ISO 13485 internal audit program, will provide the comprehensive coverage necessary to assure all applicable MDSAP regulatory requirements are audited. In addition, resources and insight into how MDSAP Auditing Organizations establish competence of their auditors will be discussed.

An “MDSAP Lite” audit tool will be provided including country-specific requirements and hyperlinks to the specific regulatory requirements (audit criteria) relative to each country-specific requirement. Through expertly designed individual and group tasks and activities, learners will demonstrate how to identify applicable country-specific requirements, how to plan the time necessary to conduct the audit of applicable country-specific requirements, how to plan an MDSAP Lite audit, as well as how to identity, document, and grade country-specific nonconformities.

This training is essential to anyone engaged in planning or conducting internal audits of an organization participating in MDSAP.
