We were written up for excluding design and development. We outsource all design function but we do own the product and also have all of the design records which we maintain.
The regulatory point is that, while you contract with someone else to practically perform design and development, you remain regulatorily responsible for those functions. Therefore your QMS must include procedures, and your operational records must provide evidence of implementation of those procedures, in regard to how you effectively control all of the regulated aspects of the performance and outcome of design and development work done by your supplier.

I think the point to be taken is you, as the design owner, are required to control the design function and subsequent process. Your organization should have procedures in place regarding how the relationship between you and your design supplier works, who is responsible for what, including the format of what ever it is you are calling your design records. Since you don't state who wrote you up I will assume it was a notifying body (your registrar). Your registrar is telling you that you cannot exclude procedures for the design and development process. I'm sure they would want to see how you control planning - your procedure might say "our company requires the subcontractor to provide a plan for building "X" product and is signed and approved by our company regulatory and engineering heads", and your input procedure (if you choose to seperate requirements) might say these are the minimum inputs required and need to be approved by our company Marketing team. How is the validation protocol agreed upon and approved? You can go through the same process with each of the other design and development elements.

Hope this helps.

Yes it was the registrar that wrote us up for this. Our comany used to have a design /eng department. We no longer have that but we do have the existing drawings and the original equipment. We needed to have some changes done for 60601-1-2 requirements. Any design work would be to an existing product not for any new products. I was looking through some of the forms online here and I found what was called a Design control worksheet which covered Planning , inputs, outputs,review, verification and validation. As well as a summary of design control activities which was geared more towards the RISK Analysis of the final product after changes, The records them selves I could cover under document control and maybe some kind of agreement to be signed by the design company covered under purchasing?. I am somewhat new and trial by fire seems to be the best description. Thank you for the reply any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated

For changes in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2 or any other changes you should have a procedure that describes how you would handle changes to the design - this could/should be handles through your engineering change control procedure. The change procedure would require details of the change as well as who is approving (in your company) the changes.

I wouldn't get too caught up in trying to make a complicated system. Since you contract out the design process, your organization could have one procedure that addresses each of the elements of 7.3 Design and development:

7.3.1 Design and development planning - Could simply state, a plan will be created and approved by "X". The plan shall consist of "put any components you want here such as: input reviews, testing, validation, design reviews, and other misc. reviews as necessary."

7.3.4 Design and development review - Could simply state how often and at what points your organization would like to review the design. If it's only a change to an existing design as you described then these reviews could be stated as intital review and final sign-off. That is up to you and your business needs.

7.3.5 Design and development verification - Could state how the changes will be tested and validated as necessary. If a protocol needs to be written or not. Your company can describe at what level or point an protocol would even need to be completed, however, anything you cannot measure should be validated.

Risk management could be handled the same way. You could require a design FMEA and a process FMEA as your risk plan. ISO is trending to a risk review before committing to a design or a change. But you would have to assess your level of need for risk assessment based on the type of product you have.
