According to Kimberly Trautman, FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Quality System Regulations (QSR) expert, suppliers providing non-conforming material are directly related to an increase in medical device recalls; which increases the need for effective quality processes to mitigate risk. As the medical device industry continues to grow in leaps and…
Document Controls
The control of documentation is one the fundamental cornerstones supporting the foundation needed for an effective quality system, whether compliance is to EN ISO 13485, EN ISO 9000, the Medical Device Directive, or in the case of this series of Devine Guidance articles, the Quality System Regulation (QSR).
Design Transfer, Design Changes and Design History File
In this fourth and final foray into Subpart C – Design Controls, Dr. D will review the last three subsections; (h) design transfer, (i) design changes, and (j) the design history file (DHF), located within section 820.30. These final three elements of design control are just as important as the previous subsections dissected as part of Devine Guidance.
Design Verification and Design Validation
The proverbial rubber meets the road when the actual execution of test protocols commences. In this edition of Devine Guidance , Dr. D will continue with his dissection of 21 CFR, Part 820; Section 820.30, subsection f (design verification) and subsection g (design validation).
