Attorney Jen Diaz will be presenting the first seminar “How to Effectively Resolve Typical U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Issues for Medical Devices” at the FIME Show at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. This will be Jen’s third consecutive year teaching at FIME.
After attending this seminar, you will know how to effectively operate your business with a new understanding of how to effectively resolve the “worst case scenarios.” We will discuss how we handle everyday examples of difficult issues with both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). FDA issues include what to do if you receive a “Notice of FDA Action” stating that a medical device is adulterated or misbranded and will be refused admission into the United States, or a “Warning Letter” that could potential state you must stop producing certain medical devices because they are adulterated or misbranded. Effectively resolving CBP issues includes the appropriate response when CBP says your goods are under “detention,” will be “seized” and “forfeited” or are included in the “detention without physical examination” list and how your company can get off the list. You will also learn the appropriate response after you receive a “liquidated damages claim” up to $50,000 from CBP.
FIME brings together the worldwide medical community for the largest and most comprehensive trade show in the United States, and features medical manufacturers from all over the globe. If you can find it in a hospital, surgery center, physician’s office, medical laboratory, or medical supply store, you can find it at FIME.
