About ISO 13485:2016 (MDQMS)
ISO 13485:2016 specifies requirements for a quality management system which requires a business to demonstrate its ability for providing medical devices as well as related services that continuously meet customer as well as applicable regulatory requirements. These organizations can be involved in a single or multiple stages of the life-cycle, which includes the design and development, production, storage and
distribution, installation as well as the servicing of a medical device, and design and development. It can also relate to the provision of associated activities (e.g. technical support). ISO 13485:2016 can also be preferred by the suppliers or any external party that is engaged in providing the products, including quality management system associated services to such organizations.
Requirements of ISO 13485:2016 are applicable to organizations irrespective of their size, their type except where clearly stated. In a case where the requirements are stated, applying to medical devices, the requirements apply explicitly to the associated services as supplied by the organization.
The processes required by ISO 13485:2016 which are applicable to any organization, but are not performed by the organization, are the responsibility of the organization and are accounted for in the organization’s quality management system by monitoring, maintaining, and controlling the processes.
If applicable, the regulatory requirements allow for exclusions of the design and development controls, which can be utilized as a justification for their elimination from the quality management system. These regulatory requirements can make available different approaches that are required to be addressed in the quality management system. It is the obligation of the business organization to make sure that the claims of conformity to ISO 13485:2016 show any exclusion of design as well as the development controls.
