Design Control

Reduce design control costs and time to market with efficient development systems!

All successful regulatory submissions are supported by FDA compliant Design Control and Review systems. Quality System Regulations (21 CFR 820: QSRs) and ISO 13485 require documented design review according to written procedures, with results maintained in a documentation system (Design History File). FDA has announced the transition to “QMSR,” explained more fully in STAYING CURRENT. According to the 89 FR 7496 the regulation “incorporates” Design and Development, Clause 7.3, and its Sub-clauses in ISO 13485.

For companies familiar with Design Control and Review, the transition should be primarily a job of re-indexing the similar requirements you have in your QSR documents. For a start-up medical device project, you may need help implementing.
