Oriel STAT A MATRIX announces new training courses aimed at five challenges medical device manufacturers face: complying with regulatory requirements, identifying the root causes of problems, handling complaints, managing suppliers, and controlling documentation.

To help device manufacturers meet these and other business challenges, Oriel STAT A MATRIX is constantly expanding its life sciences RA/QA training programs for new and experienced practitioners. Dr. Paul Landesman, Managing Director of Oriel STAT A MATRIX's Medical Devices and Life Sciences Practice, says: "It's all about the fundamentals. It is easier to achieve both compliance and performance excellence when a company has effective processes in place with properly trained employees."

Medical device manufacturers can choose from the following new courses:

• Quality Systems for Medical Devices: A Comprehensive Overview of the FDA's QSR and ISO 13485 - Learn how to create a single unified quality system that satisfies all global regulatory requirements.
• Complaint Management: Implementing a Complaint-Handling, Safety-Reporting, and Recall Program -  Develop a comprehensive complaint-handling process from initial intake to any needed global regulatory reporting.
• Supplier Quality Management: Designing and Implementing a Successful Program - Get the necessary knowledge and tools to design an effective, cross-functional supplier quality program.
• Root Cause Analysis for Medical Device, Biotech, and Pharmaceutical Investigations - Masterthe full investigation process, from accurately identifying the root cause of a problem to designing an effective intervention.
• In addition, Oriel STAT A MATRIX is offering a fifth, updated, course: Developing and Maintaining a Compliant Document Management System - Find out what types of quality system documentation organizations must maintain and what level of detail auditors expect to see.

Like all Oriel STAT A MATRIX courses, these programs employ a hands-on model - including course-specific simulations and exercises - to promote active learning. Instructors keep students engaged by using a variety of formats to address all four major learning styles: visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic.

The training programs are available in cities throughout the United States, as well as in private, on-site sessions held at a location of your choice.Get more information and a free training catalog online at www.orielstat.com or call 800.472.6477.
