We are a small R&D company developing an LDT, that we hope one day to market. We are in the process of becoming ISO 13485 compliant.
My question is regarding reagents:
The ISO Standard stipulates:
7.4.3 Verification of purchased product
The organization shall establish and implement the inspection or other activities necessary for ensuring that purchased product meets specified purchase requirements.
I have not seen in ISO 13485 a requirement to identify (label) the status of reagents after receipt inspection.
When I worked in pharmaceuticals all raw materials were labeled with their status (quarantine, approved, rejected).
Is this necessary in such a small company that I'm currently working in?Reagents are not tested before use, we fill in a Receipt Inspection form, and I think that is sufficient.
