MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Logic PD, a complete product lifecycle solutions company for the digital world, announced today that the company’s Vice President of Quality, Jackie Torfin, is participating in the Case for Quality (CfQ) initiative. Funded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through a grant awarded to the Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC), the program is a component of the FDA’s priority strategy to advance product and manufacturing quality.
The CfQ initiative is working to shift the focus of manufacturers from only regulatory compliance to one that includes compliance as part of a bigger and more effective continuous quality management and improvement program. Torfin is a member of the CfQ initiative’s communication team and is responsible for increasing the awareness and understanding of the value that CfQ brings to the medical device ecosystem.
“This is the first time the industry and the FDA are working together as peers to identify and implement quality practices and procedures,” said Torfin. “Through the CfQ initiative, we want to encourage manufacturers to focus on metrics that go beyond baseline compliance to drive improved product quality and patient safety.”
The CfQ initiative’s mission is to better align regulatory and compliance expectations with the quality of a medical device. Through the CfQ initiative, manufacturers, healthcare providers and FDA will work together to analyze, evaluate and adjust practices, policies and quality metrics based on what is in the best interest of patients.
CfQ was launched in 2011 after an in-depth review of device quality data uncovered manufacturing quality risks and showed that companies with quality-focused practices in place are far more successful.
