Secure your laboratory accreditation with compliant risk management files

Avoid non-conformities during inspections by authorities and DAkkS audits. Our practice-oriented seminar shows you how to successfully combine Rili-BÄK, ISO 15189, ISO 22367, and IVDR Annex I. Using concrete examples from laboratory practice, you will learn how to create compliant risk management files that will pass any review. 

100% of participants recommend this seminar!

The risk management seminar was practical, well-structured, and tailored to our individual needs. The speaker was extremely well-prepared, addressed our existing processes in a targeted manner, conveyed the content clearly, and was able to answer all questions competently.

From theory to practice: Learn the best methods for mastering risk management in the laboratory

Put an end to time-consuming research and unclear requirements. In our seminar, you will learn how to systematically identify hazards in the laboratory, estimate risks, and define effective measures through practical exercises and best practices. 100% of our participants recommend us to others – you too can benefit from our expertise! 

We consider the big picture: Comprehensive risk management for laboratories with in-house IVD

We are the only seminar on the market that combines the requirements of Annex I of the IVDR with ISO 15189 and ISO 22367. You will learn about the requirements for risk management for in-house IVD in detail and how these differ from those for CE-IVD. That will enable you to create legally compliant risk management files for your laboratory-developed tests from now on. 

Certificate

There is a voluntary online exam at the end of the seminar (duration: approx. 20 min). By passing this exam, you will receive a certificate proving your newly acquired knowledge and skills in addition to your attendance confir­mation.
