Hi ISO 13485 community,
How many hard copies of our QMS procedures should we keep around in the company? In the past, the regulatory department in charge ensured that there were at least 2 hard copies; one master procedure and one copy of it kept in another location. I understand the reason for keeping the master copy because it has the original signatures. What is the point of keeping the additional hard copy if people can just download the procedures from our server? What is the reason for this?
Thank you.
