Medical device training: MDR, ISO 13485, clinical evaluation

Our courses start from what we see in the field: the recurring gaps during notified body audits, the pitfalls of the MDR technical file, the sticking points of clinical evaluation. We train quality managers, regulatory affairs officers, design engineers, PRRCs and executives. In person, in-house or via e-learning.

How we train

Inter & in-house

For whom

Teams building up their skills together. 1 to 3 days, in person or in a virtual classroom, delivered by Thomas Trullen or Jonathan Bedin.

Choose this format when

You are preparing an ISO 13485 certification, you are integrating the MDR on a new product, you are restructuring your QMS after an audit finding.

Format

Inter: scheduled sessions, up to 8 participants. Intra: date and location at your convenience, from 3 participants.

E-learning

For whom

Self-directed staff or distributed teams. Short modules, validation quizzes, accessible 24/7 from any device.

Onboarding a new employee, occasional upskilling, continuous training without scheduling constraints.

Format

Access within 48 hours of ordering. Content updated with every significant regulatory change.

What stays the same, whatever the format

Real cases

In-house: work on your documents, under NDA. Inter: practical cases drawn from anonymised field situations, not fictional case studies.

Content authors

The same consultants in active assignments. No trainers disconnected from the field.

Post-training support

30-day hotline included for the operational questions that arise once back on the job.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. It is even our preferred format. We start from your QMS, your procedures in progress and your real cases to build a programme that addresses your specific situation. Duration, format and content are defined together during a preliminary, no-commitment discussion.
Each course specifies its prerequisites in its detailed datasheet. As a general rule, our MDR Fundamentals courses are accessible without any specific regulatory prerequisite — prior experience in the medical device sector is a plus. Advanced courses (clinical evaluation, internal auditor) assume operational practice in the relevant field.
All our courses lead to a training completion certificate stating the objectives, the duration and the assessed learning outcomes. This certificate is issued within 5 working days after the session.
Yes. MDR e-learning courses are growing, but quality varies widely between providers. A genuinely useful course must be designed by active practitioners, cover the applicable requirements by profile (manufacturer, importer, quality manager) and include practical cases drawn from real situations. It must go beyond the raw regulatory text to be usable in a professional setting. ISOFAC GROUP is currently developing a medical-device-specialised e-learning platform, designed by its own consultants in active practice. Sign up to be informed of the launch and to get priority access to the first modules.

To conduct internal audits, the auditor must master both the requirements of the standard and the audit principles set out in ISO 19011. An audit course typically covers: the ISO 13485 requirements clause by clause, planning and conducting an internal audit, drafting findings and non-conformities, and communicating with auditees. On completion of the course, the competence certificate must be kept in the personnel file. ISOFAC GROUP will offer an ISO 13485 internal auditor course in its e-learning catalogue currently being rolled out.

Risk management under ISO 14971:2019 applies within the framework of the MDR and ISO 13485. Before tackling this standard, it is useful to master the general framework of the MDR (scope, classification, manufacturer obligations), the general safety and performance requirements of Annex I (GSPR), and the basics of ISO 13485 to understand how risk management fits into the QMS. ISO 14971 governs hazard identification, risk estimation and evaluation, the implementation of risk control measures and the evaluation of the residual benefit/risk ratio. It applies throughout the device life cycle.
