How accurate is your Quality Management System (QMS)? Have you evaluated its audit readiness? In a highly regulated landscape of medical devices, checking and ensuring on quality of your processes is mandatory. Be it technical documentation, standard procedures, facility well-being, or simple SOPs. Manufacturers must proactively evaluate and assess all the aspects before filing an application. They should evaluate and identify the gaps and chalk out remediation plans for successful audits and easy market access.
As an end-to-end regulatory compliance consulting partner, we at Vigilare evaluate your QMS, current technical file, dossier compilation, and technical documentation (e.g., ISO 13485, MDD/MDR, IVDR) identifying gaps against global requirements. Based on regulatory gap analysis and identifications, our team provides technical guidance, and corrective actions and brings in remediation measures like risk management (ISO 14971) for full compliance.
Quality Management System (QMS) is crucial for obtaining compliance. QMS framework and documentation should be audit-ready, and cleared of all the gaps and vulnerabilities and aligned with ISO and other regional health authority standards. To ensure the QMS framework is in line, we at Vigilare, undertake:
The Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) is an audit program that enables manufacturers to satisfy compliance requirements of different jurisdictions like Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, and the U.S. It is a two-stage audit process, where the first stage includes readiness of QMS documentation and the second one focusses on on-site assessment of QMS implementation. Recently, Canada mandated MDSAP for Class II devices. At Vigilare, we assist manufacturers with:
Though Quality Management System (QMS) requirements are being harmonized globally, there are unique regional requirements in some countries. We guide device manufacturers to comply with region-specific QMS standards as well. For example,
