Case studies and best practices for minimizing risk.
Speaker: Sara Dyson, Loss Control Manager, Medmarc Insurance Group

FDA’s Quality System Regulation and GHTF guidance require medical device manufacturers to maintain strong purchasing controls and supplier oversight.  Supply chain management is necessary for regulatory compliance; however, it is also an essential part of your products liability risk management strategy.  Supply chain issues are a common source of costly field actions, adverse publicity, and products liability suits.  Even small manufacturers depend upon numerous component and service providers, yet suppliers sometimes fail to offer the level of process transparency and quality control that manufacturers need.

What are the potential corporate vulnerabilities from supplier control issues?  What is the legal relationship and relative liability of manufacturers and suppliers?  What strategies and tools can you use to better manage your supply chain and minimize risks?  What early warning signs should you watch for?  What is the business case for more comprehensive supplier control?

Using real case studies from the device and diagnostics industries, and actual data on product problems, legal claims, and monetary awards, Sara Dyson, Loss Control Manager at the Medmarc Insurance Group, the leading products liability insurer for medical device companies, discusses best practices and strategies for managing products liability risk in your supply chain.
