How have recent changes in domestic and international regulations affected quality management in the development and marketing of medical devices in the US and abroad? Consultants Daniel and Kimmelman take a close look at the Quality System Regulation (QsReg), the ISO 13485: 2003 standard and the ISO/TR 14969: 2004 guidance document as well as a number of US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) guidance documents. The authors provide extensive commentary and notes an update their material to include such topics as the incorporation of principles of risk management into the medical device organizations' quality management systems (QMSs) and considerations of combination products. Daniel and Kimmelman include full coverage of the QSReg requirements, descriptions of comparable requirements in the ISO documents, excerpts of the FDA's responses to the QSReg preamble and excerpts from FDA guidance documents related to QMSs.

Although complex and lengthy, the process of certification for the ISO 13485 can be easily mastered using the simple method outlined in ISO 13485: A Complete Guide to Quality Management in the Medical Device Industry. Written by an experienced industry professional, this practical book provides a complete guide to the ISO 13485 Standard certification for medical device manufacturing. Filled with examples drawn from the author’s experience and spanning different sectors and fields of the medical device industry, the book translates the extra ordinary requirements and objectives of the standard into feasible activities and tasks. The book provides a full analysis of each clause and sub clause through quality perspectives: the implications on an organization, its processes, management, human resources, infrastructures, work environment, control and effectiveness, documentations and records. The book is organized like the standard itself — the table of contents is identical to the ISO 13485 Standard’s table of contents — making it user friendly, familiar, and unintimidating. You can use the book as a consulting session — read it, explore it ,extract ideas — and draw on the information and knowledge that suits you and your organization, and then apply it effectively to your quality management system and processes.

HereOCOs the first book written specifically to help medical device and software engineers, QA and compliance professionals, and corporate business managers better understand and implement critical verification and validation processes for medical device software.Offering you a much broader, higher-level picture than other books in this field, this book helps you think critically about software validation -- to build confidence in your softwareOCOs safety and effectiveness. The book presents validation activities for each phase of the development lifecycle and shows: why these activities are important and add value; how to undertake them; and what outputs need to be created to document the validation process.From software embedded within medical devices, to software that performs as a medical device itself, this comprehensive book explains how properly handled validation throughout the development lifecycle can help bring medical devices to completion sooner, at higher quality, in compliance with regulations."

The term 'medical devices' covers a wide range of equipment essential for patient care at every level of the health service, whether at the bedside, at a health clinic or in a large specialised hospital. Yet many countries lack access to high-quality devices, particularly in developing countries where health technology assessments are rare and there is a lack of regulatory controls to prevent the use of substandard devices. This publication provides a guidance framework for countries wishing to create or modify their own regulatory systems for medical devices, based on best practice experience in other countries. Issues highlighted include: the need for harmonised regulations; and the adoption, where appropriate, of device approvals of advanced regulatory systems to avoid an unnecessary drain on scarce resources. These approaches allow emphasis to be placed on locally-assessed needs, including vendor and device registration, training and surveillance and information exchange systems.

We are in what many call The Age of the Customer. Customers are empowered more than ever before and demand a high level of customer attention and service. Their increasing expectations and demands worldwide have forced organizations to transform themselves and prepare for the customer experience (CX) battlefield. This landmark book addresses: What customer experience really means Why it matters Whether it has any substantial business impact What your organization can do to deliver and sustain your CX efforts, and How we got to this particular point in CX history This book is the result of exhaustive research conducted to incorporate various components that affect customer experience. Based on the research results, the authors make a case for seeing CX and associated transformations as the next natural evolution of the quality management system (QMS) already in place in most companies. Using an existing QMS as the foundation for CX not only creates a more sustainable platform, but it allows for a faster and more cost effective way to enable an organization to attain world-class CX.

The purpose of this expanded field guide is to assist organizations, step-by-step, in implementing a quality management system (QMS) in conformance with ISO 13485:2016, whether "from scratch" or by transitioning from variations of the ISO 13485 family. In keeping with ISO 9000:2015's definition of quality as the "degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements," Myhrberg, Raciti, and Myhrberg have identified the requirements and inherent characteristics (distinguishing features) for this expanded field guide. Within the guide, each subclause containing requirements is the focus of a two-page visual spread that consistently presents features that fulfill the requirements listed below. This guide will: Provide a user-friendly guide to ISO 13485:2016's requirements for implementation purposes -Identify the documents/documentation required, along with recommendations on what to consider retaining/adding to a QMS during ISO 13485:2016 implementation -Guide internal auditor(s) regarding what to ask to verify that a conforming and effective QMS exists -Direct management on what it must do and should consider to satisfy ISO 13485:2016's enhanced requirements, as well as on the responsibilities for top management -Depict step-by-step in flowchart form what must occur to create an effective, conforming QMS

This handbook provides the most up to date resource currently available for interpreting and understanding design controls. This handbook is the most exhaustive resource ever written about FDA & ISO 13485 design controls for medical devices with a collection of all applicable regulations and real-world examples. Four-hundred & forty, 8.5" X 11" pages provides an extensive evaluation of FDA 21 CFR 820 and is cross-referenced with ISO 13485 to provide readers with a broad and in-depth review of practical design control implementation techniques. This handbook also covers basic, intermediate and advanced design control topics and is an ideal resource for implementing new design control processes or upgrading an existing process into medical device quality systems. This critical resource also specifically outlines key topics which will allow quality managers and medical device developers to improve compliance quickly to pass internal and external audits and FDA inspections. The author breaks down the regulation line by line and provides a detailed interpretation by using supportive evidence from the FDA design control guidance and the quality systems preamble. Numerous examples, case studies, best practices, 70+ figures and 45+ tables provide practical implementation techniques which are based on the author's extensive experience launching numerous medical device products and by integrating industry consultant expertise. In addition, bonus chapters include: explanation of medical device classification, compliance to design controls, risk management, and the design control quality system preamble. 20-40 pages are dedicated to each of the major design control topics: Design and Development Planning, Design Input, Design Output, Design Transfer, Design Verification, Design Validation, Design Change and Design History File.
