"Our customers asked for more training, and the Training Summit is our way of answering that call," said Jerry Zion, Global Training Manager for Fluke Biomedical.

During the Training Summit, industry experts will lecture on a variety of topics including the tenets and best practices of medical device quality assurance; risk management; sourcing new test requirements and standards; inspection procedures; and preventive testing methods. All lectures will be followed by quizzes and hands-on labs to ensure attendees leave with a solid, immediately applicable understanding of medical device testing best practices.
