QMS Support ISO 13485

Manufacturers and related organizations in the niche of medical technology and or life sciences (i.e. bio tech, medical devices, in vitro diagnostics, etc.) face global demands to streamline and standardize their processes. They must establish and maintain an adequate quality management system, perform frequent audits, and continually adapt to changing regulatory requirements. Examples are

• the revisted ISO 13485:2016
• changing roles of Notified Bodies (unannounced inspections)
• the revision and additional regulatory requirements of the European Medical Device Regulations (MDR - MDD / IVDR), such as i.e. UDI, Clinical Evaluation Reports, PMCF-reports, control of supply chain, etc.

MRM offers organizations a structured and effective method for implementing a quality management system compliant with

• ISO 13485:2016 and or
• FDA's Quality System Regulation (21 CFR 820) and or
• SOR/98-282 (Canada) and or
• European CE marking of medical products (MDR / IVDR).

Publication ISO 13485:2016

The 'new' ISO 13485:2016 will be properly published somewhere in March or April 2016. In fact, we expect  publication around the same time as the publication of the revisited European Medical Device Regulations (MDR) and the revisited In Vitro Diagnostic Regulations (IVDR). The impact of the changes of MDR and the IVDR will be significant and requires higher investments from medical device manufacturers and other companies to be in compliance with the new EU regulations & requirements. 

Companies, in particularly manufacturers, need to anticipate and prepare to deal with proposed changes in a pro-active and timely manner to avoid having CE certificates suspended or revoked. We advise you to be prepared on time!
