The FDA has auditing guidelines posted on it's web pages for the Quality System Regulation (QSR) that has replaced the old cGMP. From the information I have collected, they are auditing design very closely and they are writing 483s for non-conformities.

Since the group has a CE mark, they must have been audited by a Notified Body. Ask your client for their NB checklist which should have both ISO 9001 + EN 46001 + any EC directive items (i.e. MDD or AIMD). These are the EC equivalent to the FDA QSR if their product is classified as a med device.

Marc, Somewhere, I have a copy of the FDA's "guideline" for assessing to the new QSR (reformatted in Word 6.0). Will try to find and forward. By the way, most are correct. The FDA is concentrating on "DESIGN CONTROLS."
Pertaining to the above, just because the unit has a CE mark does not mean thay have been audited by a notified body. That varies with the device "MARKED."

If you e-mail it to me I'll post it in the pdf_files directory and post a link (which is becoming a catch-all drop directory...).
