Medical Device Regulation ISO Standards
What Are Medical Device Regulation ISO Standards?
If you are an expert in the regulatory/quality field (scroll for a summary of ISO Standards), then you will know that Medical Device Regulation ISO standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an independent, non-governmental international organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. ISO was founded on February 23, 1947. They are international standards developed to assist in improving medical device quality, efficiency, and perhaps most importantly; safety.
Why Were The ISO Standards Developed?
One of the most important reasons for the development of Medical Device Regulation ISO standards was to help ensure patient safety, by ensuring regulatory compliance, reducing risks; with risk management, quality assurance.
Moreover, ISO Standards are deemed as important by Medical Device manufacturers because they are often referenced by notified bodies throughout compliance assessments, and they help guide manufacturers towards compliance, and producing high quality devices.
How Do Manufacturers Become ISO Certified?
In order to become ISO certified, manufacturers are audited by an independent certification body. Upon successful completion of the audit, manufacturers are awarded with an ISO certification.
