What is ISO 13485?
ISO 13485:2003 is a standard for quality management systems in the manufacturing and/or provision of medical devices and related services. ISO 13485 harmonizes medical device regulatory requirements for quality management systems and is specific to organizations providing medical devices – regardless of type or size.
ISO 13485 works in connection with then general ISO 9001, though replaces its emphasis on continual improvement and customer satisfaction with meeting regulatory and customer requirements, enhanced risk management and maintaining effective processes. Other differences include better controls in product development and safety, inspection and traceability of implantable devices, documentation and validation of processes for sterile medical devices, and the effectiveness of corrective and preventive actions.
