Book excerpt: This book explains the requirements for compliance with FDA regulations and ISO standards (9001/13485) for documented information controls, and presents a methodology for compliance. The document control system (DCS), or documented information control system (DICS), is the foundation of a quality management system. It is the first quality system element that must be implemented because the establishment and control of documented processes and information in a quality-controlled environment is dependent on the ability to proactively manage access to documents and the movement of documents through the document life cycle. A well-developed document control system benefits business by: Improving knowledge retention and knowledge transfer within and across business units Improving access to knowledge-based information Improving employee performance by providing standardized processes and communicating clear expectations Improving customer communication and satisfaction by providing documented information from which common understanding can be achieved Providing traceability of activities and documentation throughout the organization Improving organization of and access to documents and data Sample documents are included in the appendixes of this book to help clarify explanations, and a full set of formatted procedures and document templates are available for download to get you off to an even faster start. This book provides a process-based approach that can be used for controlling all forms of documented information that are required to be managed under the quality management system.

Download or read book Quality Risk Management in the FDA Regulated Industry written by José Rodríguez-Pérez and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this new edition is to offer an updated view of the risk management field as it applies to medical products. Since the publication of the first edition (2012), the emphasis on risk-based processes has growth exponentially across all sectors, and risk management is now considered as significant as quality management. ISO 9001 was revised and now requires that top management promote the use of risk-based thinking. ISO 13485:2016, which specifies the requirements for a quality management system specific to the medical devices industry, also now shows a greater emphasis on risk management and risk-based decision making. In addition, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is the most important reform of U.S. food safety laws in more than 70 years. This indispensable book presents a systematic and comprehensive approach to quality risk management. It will assist medical and food product manufacturers with the integration of a risk management system or risk management principles and activities into their existing quality management system by providing practical explanations and examples. The appropriate use of quality risk management can facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements such as good manufacturing practice or good laboratory practice. All chapters have been updated and revised, and a new chapter has been added to discuss some of the most common pitfalls and misunderstandings regarding risk management, specifically those related to the use of FMEA as the only element of risk management programs. One of the appendices includes 12 case studies, and the companion CD-ROM contains dozens of U.S. FDA and European guidance documents as well as international harmonization documents (ICH and GHTF-IMDRF) related to risk management activities, as well as a 30-question exam (with answers) on the material discussed in the book.

Download or read book ISO 13485 for Engineers written by Priscilla Browne and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written to provide Quality engineers, medical engineers, device engineers with a practical and insightful companion to understand ISO 13485, Quality Management system for medical devices. It provides a straight-to-the-point perspective which should assist in the interpretation of the standard and provide a benchmark for what is expected in the application of the standard and compliance for industry. ISO 13485:2016 is an international standard for the quality management of medical devices. It is of value and applicable to a number of business areas that are involved in the various stages of a medical device and its product lifecycle. It may be applied by a design company, manufacturer, raw material supplier, calibration service, sterilization services or distributer. The scope of the standard covers: design and development production, storage and distribution installation servicing (if required) decommissioning and disposal In particular, manufacturers of medical devices and typically mandated by regulatory bodies to comply with ISO 13484, and must demonstrate compliance and application of the standard subject to certification and an audit process. FDA, 21 CFR Part 820 is another example of a Quality Management system. While its official designation is a Quality System (QS) it serves a similar purpose to ISO 13485- Quality management system for medical devices. However, there is an important distinction. 21 CFR Part 820 has a regulatory standing in the United states. While many competent authorities require the application of ISO 13485, the framework of ISO 13485 is a standard opposed to a regulation. Revised in 2016, ISO 13485:2016 "specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organisation needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements." The scope of the standard can apply to any organisation or company involved throughout the life-cycle of a product, including design and/or development, production, storage and distribution, installation, or servicing of a medical device and design and development or provision of technical or professional services. The 2016 revision is designed to address recent developments in quality management and other updated regulations that relate to the industry. Improvements in the new version of the standard include broadening its applicability to include all organisations involved in the life cycle of the product, from the concept stage to end of life along with greater alignment with regulatory requirements and post-market surveillance including complaint handling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing an ISO 13485-Certified Quality Management System: An Implementation Guide for the Medical-Device Industry details the lessons learned from a real-world project focusing on building an ISO 13485:2016 Quality Management System (QMS) from scratch and then having it officially certified. It is a practical guide to building or improving your existing QMS with tried and tested solutions. The book takes a hands-on approach–first teaching the top 25 lessons to know before starting to develop a QMS and then walking you through the process of writing the quality manual and the standard operating procedures, training the staff on the QMS, organizing an internal audit, executing a management review, and finally passing the necessary external audits and obtaining certification. It helps you to progress from one task to the next and provides all the essential information to accomplish each task as quickly and efficiently as possible. It does not attempt to replicate the standard but instead drills into the standard to expose the core of each section of the standard and reorganize its contents into a practical workflow for developing, maintaining, and improving a Lean QMS. The book includes a wealth of real-world experience both from the author's personal dive into quality management, and from the experiences of other companies in the field and provides handy checklists for ensuring key documents and processes are fit for use–the emphasis here is to help ensure you have considered all relevant aspects. In addition, the book is not intended as a “cheat sheet” for the standard or as a review of the standard that only adds lengthy commentary on each of the clauses. Instead, the book fixes easy misunderstandings regarding QMS, provides insight into why the various clauses are written the way they are, and provides a great base to both understanding ISO 13485 QMS and developing your own QMS. The book is intended to serve both experts and novices audiences–it provides special insight on the most crucial and effective aspects of QMS.
