ISO 13485 Consulting and Implementation for Medical Device Manufacturers

ANSWERED ON THIS PAGE:

• Why do we need ISO 13485 certification?
• How will ISO 13485 certification benefit our company?
• What is involved in the implementation process?

ISO 13485 is a quality system standard designed specifically for medical device companies. It is the most common path to meet the Quality Management System (QMS) medical device requirements in Europe, Canada, and Australia, and serves as the basis for QMS compliance in other countries like Japan, Korea, and Brazil.

How ISO 13485 certification benefits your company

If you manufacture or market a Class II or higher-risk classification device and sell it outside the US, you probably need to be ISO 13485 certified. Certification can also expand your market access and improve your company's profitability. Here are some of the long-term benefits of ISO 13485:

• It is the de facto standard for global medical device QMS compliance for medical devices, and is a prerequisite for access to most major markets worldwide.
• ISO 13485 certification requires commitment and effort to attain, so it gives you additional credibility with potential customers.
• A refined QMS system will increase efficiency, enhance product quality, and improve customer service within your company.
