A gynecological device is a medical device that is used to promote female health or to protect and preserve reproductive health for females. This is a very broad category and includes products such as watches, calculators, bandages, and hygienic towels. While many of these products have been clinically tested and found to be safe for female health, there are still a few devices in the market that pose threats to female reproductive health. Gynecological devices usually fall into three categories: medical devices, biological safety devices, and mechanical devices. Medical devices are those that prevent the risk of injury or trauma to a woman's reproductive organs from medical interventions. Biologic safety devices are those that protect a female's health by promoting female reproductive health. Finally, mechanical devices are those that help maintain a woman's reproductive health and allow her to achieve or reach their desired fertility or pregnancy. The use of any of these unsupervised or unsafe medical procedures poses a risk to a woman's reproductive health and should be avoided at all costs. The main factors driving the growth of the gynecological devices market are the rapid increase of gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and vaginitis and the introduction of new innovative gynecological devices in the market. For instance, according to the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information, approximately 97 per 1000 women suffer from gynecological diseases in the U.S., among which approximately 53 per 1000 women suffer from menstrual disorders. Rising awareness about gynecological health and preventive check-up to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is expected to boost the market growth. Moreover soaring numbers of surgical procedures such as female sterilization, endoscopy, laparoscopy, and ablation are driving the demand for gynecological devices.

Course "Key Factors to Write an Effective Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and Work Instructions (WIs)" has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant's RAC recertification upon full completion. Overview: Writing SOPs or procedural documents can be challenging at times. However, writing SOPs is overall a straightforward process. However, enforcing what you already created and implemented in the pipeline is another story. The term SOP is very obvious. We have seen "clearly written description of how specific tasks are to be done." Another satisfactory definition would be "detailed written instructions that achieve the uniformity of the performance of a specific function." Is the firm doing what the regulations specify? Is the firm doing what their procedures specify? If you are medical device or a pharmaceutical manufacturer, these definitions come as no surprise because when it comes to FDA regulations and guidance documents "establish" means to define, to document (in writing or electronically) and to implement. The goal and emphasis with FDA is simple. Proof of "Establish" is the foundation. Is the firm doing what the regulations specify? Is the firm doing what their procedures specify? Are the procedures being followed and enforced by company personnel? SOPs are needed in regulated industries to give step-by-step instructions for performing a particular job or task. This session will provide a step-by-step overview and a snapshot of the procedure description, the process and format. The subject matter of a SOP may range from how to operate a piece of machinery to how to log into a particular software program. SOPs ensure consistency and reliability because they require training of all affected parties. This session will address recent enforcement actions for SOP related violations but no surprise. Most of our enforcement actions are documentation related, i.e., SOP or other procedural documents. We will review examples from
