Course Syllabus

  1. One obligation, four sentences, and a test that is not a format
  2. The addresses, and the areas grouped by what they are for
  3. There is no such thing as the technical file
  4. Ten years, fifteen for implantables, and a summary with no format
  5. The numbers that make the plan enforceable
  6. Producing it: the authority, and the authorised representative
  7. The medical device file is not this, and what is in force today

  1. The index of conformity, and what the section actually asks
  2. The only official description of the checklist, and its caveats
  3. A row that survives being read by a stranger
  4. The presumption of conformity, stated without overclaiming it
  5. Common specifications, other solutions, and a genuine choice
  6. Not applicable is a claim, and six ways a checklist fails
  7. Written first, or written to be contradicted

  1. Half right, and the half that is wrong is the expensive half
  2. Navigability, made concrete by the people who read files
  3. The document set and the submission are two objects
  4. The proof is published, and the rest has no legal status
  5. The same fact, stated differently in two places
  6. Lifecycle: what triggers an update, and why nothing does
  7. What this module claims, and what it refuses to claim
