ISO 13485 Medical Device Quality Management System
The ultimate global benchmark for quality management practices specific to the medical device industry and a critical framework for boosting your organization’s customer satisfaction.
What is ISO 13485?
ISO 13485 is an international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS) in the medical device industry. The standard is designed to help organizations develop and manufacture medical devices that are safe and effective for their intended use. It is based on the ISO 9001 standard, but with additional requirements specific to the medical device industry. Some of the key requirements of ISO 13485 include the need for organizations to have a documented QMS, to establish clear procedures for the design, development, and production of medical devices, and to ensure that their products meet applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, ISO 13485 also requires organizations to have a system in place for monitoring and improving the effectiveness of their QMS.
