I'm looking for advice on how to do regulatory requirements audits on our products, some of which are PPE and some are medical devices. For these regulatory audits, I have basically 5 regulatory documents to audit against - ISO 13485:2003, 21 CFR 820, PPED, MDD, & CMDR.
If there is anyone out there who has been in a similar situation and can offer advice, I would certainly appreciate it. I have some questions about how one goes about doing these regulatory requirements audits:
- Does each product (PPE and medical device) have to be audited each year, or can we choose one product one year and then rotate products for subsequent years until all products have been audited?
- How does one link common requirements found in ISO 13485 & 21 CFR 820 to those also required in CMDR and MDD? As I understand it, some of the 13485 requirements overlap the CMDR, MDD and 21 CFR 820, so I would need some method of tying together those requirements when the 13485/21 CFR 820 requirements are covered in our regular internal audits, wouldn't I?
This sounds complicated, I know, but I would certainly appreciate any help anyone can offer - even if it is just a web site or link or whatever.... If more info is needed, let me know and I'll try to be more specific.
Did I mention that I have to do this regulatory requirements audit by the end of this year??
TIA...
