Audio Conference

The Present and Future of SPL & PIM Recordings - US$249
Mark Bayer VP Business Development Reed Technology & Information Services	Gary Saner Technical Manager Reed Technology & Information Services

The US Food and Drug Administration already requires that submissions for human health prescription drugs be in Structured Product Labeling (SPL) format. It is widely expected that those requirements will soon be expanded to include animal health drugs, biologics and OTC products -- most likely in that order and perhaps as soon as this year. What's more, this development could soon extend beyond the pharma industry, as 2008 could also usher in SPL requirements for medical device registrations. Meantime, manufacturers selling their products in Europe should be thinking about how to handle Product Information Management (PIM) filings with the EMEA. Though not yet mandatory, leading pharma companies are already looking at how best to prepare their PIM submissions and associated content life cycle management. This audio conference will provide the latest information on requirements for SPL and PIM - where things stand, and where they are headed.

This audio conference will address:

• FDA requirements and guidance regarding SPL submissions
• How best to handle the life cycle management of your SPLs
• What's coming next for SPL?
• The latest information on EMEA and PIM
• How to prepare for PIM submissions, including product information harmonization, translation needs and content life cycle management
