June 16, 2011 – Boxborough, MA, USA
Intertek, a leading global provider of quality and safety solutions, announces a unique two-day seminar for medical device manufacturers. Titled “Safety & Risk Management requirements of IEC / EN 60601-1, 3rd Edition,” Intertek’s new training course will help you interpret the revised IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition standard – particularly the new Risk Management aspects of the regulations – and understand what actions you need to take to ensure compliance. Compliance with the 3rd Edition of IEC 60601-1 will become mandatory for medical devices in 2012. New requirements for Risk Management mean you need to consider the development of your Risk Management File early in your product development cycle.
“Safety & Risk Management requirements of IEC / EN 60601-1, 3rd Edition” seminars will be held on Wednesday, June 22 and Thursday, June 23 at Intertek’s facility in Boxborough, MA as well as July 27-28 in Toronto, Canada, and on September 14-15 in Menlo Park, CA. Tuition for the two day seminar is $995 per person, which includes all course materials, lunches, and refreshment breaks. Attendees will also receive a certificate for 1.6 CEUs, credits which may be applied towards continuing education or training requirements.
Tuition for one day only is $645 (either day) and attendees will receive 0.8 CEUs.
During the first day, participants will build an understanding of the standard’s structure and philosophy while Intertek provides an overview of technical requirements, the standardization process, the development of IEC 60601-1- family, and current transitional times. The second day will focus on all the steps the manufacturer must apply in order to fulfil the risk management requirements of IEC 60601-1, as well as new methods of risk analysis.
