Quality Management
Quality Management System
With the right system safely through the EN ISO 13485 audit
If Quality Management is understood and lived, not only can the audit be passed; time, costs and nerves can also be saved.

Challenges in Quality Management
Sounds familiar?
Your QMS is confusing and chaotic, and is missing improvements? The standards say: You must... but you don't know how?
The requirements were patched-up for the last audit and you got off with a slap on the wrist? Then the issues are left aside and the next audit is due, and when the time comes, you hear things such as:
- CEO: “It worked last time!” or “That has never been noticed in an audit. Why is it an issue now?”
- Product Manager: “The device is in development and must be placed on the market.”
- Developer: “The auditors are asking too much and have little knowledge of development.”
- Production Employee: “Do I really have to document all this?”
- Department Manager: “The audit should not disrupt.”

The best and fastest development in the world is useless if the Medical Devices cannot be manufactured with quality. Only Medical Devices with high merit bring safety, positive performance, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, Quality Management and Quality Assurance for Medical Devices is a strictly regulated area that is constantly changing. But not only development and manufacturing have to work together. Purchasing, Human Resources, the Post-Market Surveillance department, and ultimately the management must also be integrated into the QMS and provide important aspects for maintaining the QMS and product quality.
Individual solutions ensure a successful implementation that can be lived and is compliant. Here it does not matter whether you are a
- 1-man company
- large corporation
- manufacturer
- supplier
- Manufacturer for non-active class I products
- Manufacturer of active class III products
