QMS

Developing a Quality Management System (QMS) for Medical Device companies is key to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

A QMS should be developed and implemented in phases, consistent with the growth of the company, to ensure compliance through the various stages.

Top Quality Engineering uses the following 4-stage approach to build and help you implement a full quality system:

Stage I – Identifying the Regulatory Strategy: Based on classification of the Medical Device and markets to which the Medical Device will be sold and marketed in, identifies the compliance requirements in developing a QMS.
1. FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR) – 21 CFR Part 820: Medical Devices sold and marketed in the United States. Classification of the device identify the requirements that are applicable.
2. Internal Standard for Medical Device Quality Management System – ISO 13485: Medical Devices sold and marketed in the European Union
Stage II – Product Development: Generating the sections of the QMS that pertain to product development:
1. Design Controls
2. Document Control
3. Calibration / Preventative Maintenance of Measurement Equipment
4. Labeling and Packaging
5. Risk Management
6. Supplier Management
7. Training
Stage III – Pre-Production: Generating the remaining sections of the QMS not related to production:
1. Internal Audits
2. Management Review
3. Non-Conformances and CAPAs
4. Statistical Techniques
Stage IV – Production: Generating the sections of the QMS pertaining to production

Upon the completion of the 4-stage approach, a complete QMS is in place and ready for regulatory approval.
