ISO 13485 – MEDICAL DEVICE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
🎤 Charles Paul | 📅 May 05, 2023 | 🕒 11 AM Eastern Time US
  | ISO 13485 is a standard and not a regulation. In the US, it is vital to understand the differences between a standard and a regulation to avoid serious compliance failures. That said, the standard is just that, a standard, and is the standard of choice for medical device manufacturers as it pertains to their quality management system. Certification under this standard is essential to the organization’s ability to conduct business in the various markets that require conformity to this standard and compliance to its country’s regulations. |
Description:
ISO 13485 is the international quality management system standard for medical devices. The function of this standard is to “specify requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements.” The standard has its beginnings in ISO 9001 but as a standalone standard, it has evolved over the years through various versions.
We will begin this webinar by overviewing the quality management system concept extended to both the QSR and the ISO standard to provide a solid and appropriate background to the further discussion of the standard.
We will next discuss the overall intent and impact of ISO 13485 in terms of why it is important and what it is intended to accomplish.
Once those basic concepts are overviewed the contents of the standard, and the impact of the various revisions and their specific change focus up to and including ISO 13485:2016.
We will spend some time discussing the differences between 21 CFR820 and the ISO Standard to fully realize the concept of conformance versus compliance.
We will end this webinar by discussing the process of implementing your quality system in conformance with the standard.
