Ensure your organisation meets global regulatory demands with this comprehensive self-assessment tool designed to evaluate and strengthen quality systems for medical device and high-integrity product environments. Structured across three critical domains, this programme empowers quality, compliance, and operational leaders to proactively identify gaps, optimise processes, and build audit-ready frameworks that stand up to international scrutiny.
- Establish a robust quality systems framework by selecting the appropriate regulatory foundation—ISO 13485 or 21 CFR Part 820—based on target markets and product classification. Clearly define the scope of your quality management system (QMS), including legacy product inclusion, and align your quality manual with corporate governance and inspection requirements.
- Strengthen design and development controls with structured design freeze milestones, formal sign-offs, and complete traceability from user needs to verification. Manage concurrent engineering activities confidently, ensuring validation precedes manufacturing transfer, and implement change control protocols tied to risk outcomes.
- Optimise document and record management by configuring electronic systems to enforce version control, automatic obsolescence, and secure access. Define retention periods in line with regulatory obligations and implement audit trails that support compliance during inspections.
This self-assessment enables cross-functional teams to align R&D, manufacturing, and post-market responsibilities under a unified quality vision. By integrating supplier quality into procurement agreements and establishing clear accountability across departments, organisations enhance compliance resilience and reduce time-to-market.
Ideal for quality managers, regulatory affairs professionals, and senior leaders overseeing product compliance, this resource delivers actionable insights to strengthen governance, defend quality decisions, and prepare for global audits with confidence.
Take control of your quality maturity—conduct your self-assessment today and build a defensible, sustainable quality system for global success.
