8 Key QMS Considerations when Implementing ISO 13485
Five ways MedQdoc Adds Value for Medical Device Distributors
Complying with MDR 2017/745 for distributors
MDR 2017/745 has increased the regulatory and quality compliance workload for medical device companies, including distributors, by introducing more and stricter requirements.
The specific MDR requirements for distributors are set out in MDR Article 14, General obligation of distributors.
With our medical device industry experience, we know that, we know that fulfilling these new demands can feel overwhelming and time-consuming, and like it doesn’t add value to your business. However, complying with the latest regulatory standards can give you a competitive advantage and improve the operation of your company.
The risks to medical device distributors of not having a QMS
A weak, or lack of, QMS can have a number of negative consequences for your business:
Insufficient or non-existing records and traceability can severely increase your workload, for example when handling a recall.
Not maintaining an adequate process and traceability for handling customer complaints could harm the relationship with your suppliers if such information is ever required.
If audited by a competent authority and they assess that you lack regulatory compliance, it could impact your ability to continue operating.
