Good Day to all.

I have a small medical device company. We are currently specification designers of Class I devices. We are preparing to move in to Class II devices. I am up dating the QS to reflect this change.

I am a novice at this QS thing. I could use some help/feedback before I bring in any consultants $$$

Can anyone comment on the SOP's I have been working on thus far.

Complaint SOP, MDR SOP, CAPA SOP for starters. In progress is the Medical Device Recall, FA SOP's

Thank you so much for this forum your feedback and help are appreciated!!!

Without reading your SOPs yet, I'm curious as to why these needed updates? These should be pretty constant between class I & 2. I would think the focus area for such a change would be in design controls. I hope to get a chance to review the SOPs but wanted to bring this up.

Hi,

Sorry, but I'm a bit short of time so can't review your documents at the moment. However, I agree with yodon that the major difference between a class 1 only manufacturer (including spec developers) and the rest are design controls (21 CFR part 820.30), unless of course if you were already within the group of class 1 devices requiring design controls anyway.

2 key statements reg. coverage of the QS system for spec. developers:

1. "Specification developers are subject to quality system requirements that apply to activities they conduct."

2. "Manufacturers should not generate and use procedures that are not needed."

Jeff, who would normally manage your quality system. What's been the ceo's involvement or direction over time for quality generally?

I believe that the MRD,CAPA, ect for a class II device as apposed to a class I exempt device added some complexity to our SOP that I had to up date. If not, what we had previously needed to be up dated.

I would appreciate your feedback if you get a chance. I really respect this forum and have learned a lot from it.

we design class I exempt devices, but have a quality system that has design controls to comply with class II devices. I think we were a bit light in the MDR CAPA and complaint SOP to be compliant with requirements so that is what I was trying to up date.

Would love to have your input though if you get a chance.

thanks
Jeff

Our CEO is involved daily in the quality and the systems we have in place. currently we are looking for someone to manage the system on a day to day basis. I am making the needed changes currently.

Thanks

Thanks for the thought I will look to add this to our SOP's. Any suggestions on the procedure?

Thanks

I typically tell clients to think of how data is presented and analyzed for management review. This usually includes the bar chart, pareto chart, cause and effect, etc. Look for the 7 quality tools and the 7 new quality tools.
