Medical Device Design Control Requirements (820.30) on Existing Products

Hello -

Does anyone have experience here with meeting Design Control requirements (820.30) on existing products?

My company is getting a Blood Donor Screening test licensed, and the test was developed years ago for a different purpose, so no formal design control was documented.

I'm trying to work backwards from finished product, and it gets confusing.

I'll continue searching attachments and other threads, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has any tips/experience/examples to share.

Thank you!

Well, you have got your work cut out for you. FDA is pretty clear in their anticipation of what should be documented :-(

What I would suggest is that you get a team together (R&D, production, marketing, QA for instance), and see what documentation you already have in a formal or informal manner. Using that, you should start to develop the required design control documents, and make sure to update with what is missing (could be design validation, traceability matrix, reviews etc.). Once you have created the documentation make sure that you have an independent review (as required), to ensure that all holes have been closed.

IMO, this is not a one-man-task. Make sure to have a decent team, otherwise you will probably be stuck real soon.

Thank you, Gert. You described the approach that I am taking, so it's good to get some independent confirmation about how I'm heading.

I am wondering if anyone has gone through this. Our regulatory consultant said that most of his calls come from companies wanting to backfill previously overlooked Design Controls.

I am actually involved in retrospective traceability on a 10 year old product these days. The gaps that is being identified is quite interesting. So, yes, other companies are going through this as well :)
