  Why implementing a quality system? ^
  Regulations for Medical Devices and In Vitro Diagnostics include quality system requirements.

The European Directives include quality system requirements. Although ISO certification is not a requirement, ISO13485:2003 is the harmonized standard for quality system requirements and ISO13485:2003 certification will give the manufacturer several advantages.

In the USA, manufacturers are subject to QSR regulations (21 CFR 820 Quality System Requirements).

The Canadian authorities impose ISO13485 certification by a registrar, accredited by Health Canada.
 
   
  What can Qarad do to achieve your quality system? ^
 

Whether your quality system still has to be built from scratch or only needs minor adjustments, Qarad can define what needs to be done to implement a quality system that is compliant with applicable regulations and/or quality system standards. 

By gap analysis (audit), group training sessions, personal guidance, writing of documents, etc… we can give you the assistance that you need. We combine work in our office with on-site visits anywhere in the world.
