What is a quality management system (QMS) for medical device manufacturers?
A quality management system (QMS) for medical device manufacturers organizes and monitors all quality-related processes to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements such as ISO 13485, MDR and FDA regulations. It includes document control, risk management, process control and the performance of audits.
The aim is to ensure product quality and safety, minimize risks and implement continuous improvements. A QM system is essential in order to manufacture medical devices efficiently, secure market approvals and strengthen the trust of customers and authorities.
Do medical device manufacturers have to provide evidence of a QM system?
Yes, medical device manufacturers must provide evidence of a quality management system (QM system), as this is a prerequisite for market approval. In the EU, the MDR requires a QM system in accordance with ISO 13485, while in the USA the FDA stipulates compliance with 21 CFR Part 820. A QM system ensures the safety, efficacy and conformity of products through clearly defined processes such as document control, risk management and traceability. Proof is usually provided through certification by a notified body, which is essential for access to regulated markets.
What is the aim of a QM system according to ISO 13485?
ISO 13485 describes the requirements for a quality management system (QMS) specifically for manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices. The aim is to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical devices by systematically controlling and monitoring all quality-relevant processes.
What are the advantages of software for the QM system?
QMS software optimizes processes, increases efficiency and ensures compliance with regulations. It automates document control, audit planning and CAPA measures, supports standards such as ISO 13485 and MDR and ensures complete traceability. Thanks to flexible workflows, systematic data evaluation and standardized processes, it reduces errors, saves costs and promotes continuous improvement (CIP). An indispensable tool for quality and compliance in medical technology.
Does QM software help me in the audit?
Yes, QM software provides you with comprehensive support in the planning, implementation and follow-up of audits. It facilitates the creation of audit plans and checklists, enables the digital recording of findings and documents non-conformities directly in the system. Automated reports and the linking of measures such as CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions) allow you to maintain an overview and ensure that all deviations are processed on time. The software also ensures complete traceability and helps you to efficiently meet regulatory requirements such as ISO 13485, MDR or 21 CFR Part 11. This increases the effectiveness of your audits and saves you valuable time.
