ISO 13485:2016 MDQMS Lead Auditor

Quality and safety is crucial when it comes to medical devices while regulations are becoming progressively demanding. The internationally recognised ISO 13485 Quality Management System for Medical Devices, was developed to be used by organizations involved in the design, production, installation and servicing of medical devices and related services. It can also be used by internal and external parties, such as certification bodies, to help them with their auditing processes. Although not required by the standard itself, third-party audits and certification can demonstrate to regulators that you have met the requirements of the standard.
