What does QMS consultancy for IVDs entail?

COMPLIANCE WITH THE LATEST IVD REGULATIONS

According to ISO 13485: 2016 (the reference standard), IVD manufacturers are required to have a QMS in place.

This standard is recognized as a harmonized standard for in vitro diagnostic medical devices in support of Regulation (EU) 2017/746. It was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on January 6, 2022.

As a consequence, IVD manufacturers need to ensure that their IVD devices remain available to patients in the European Union by maintaining their CE marking.

Due to the new classification of IVD products, 80% of the market needs the involvement of a notified body according to the regulation, instead of 8% of the market according to the directive.

Do you need to obtain the required certificate (CE IVD or ISO 13485) from the certifying body or notified body to sell your products in the EU?

Our consultants have extensive NB experience. We offer QMS consultancy for legal manufacturers and other economic operators to meet the new requirements for Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (applicable as from May 2022) and ISO 13485:2016 or other standards.

TAILORED CONSULTANCY FOR EACH PROJECT

Every project is different, but our QMS experts usually start with a gap assessment or internal auditIn addition to the standard assessment, you can request extra consultancy for updating/implementing your QMS documents/preparing new documents.
