ISO 13485: Medical Devices Quality Management Systems – Requirements for Regulatory Purposes – is a quality standard based on ISO 9001, which is exclusively

- Design
- Environmental Control
- Traceability

Mackin Consultancy can fully manage the introduction, implementation and certification of ISO 13485 in your company. This service entails the presence of one of our ISO 13485 consultants on-site for one to three days per week, depending on the timescales involved, for the duration of the project. A typical timeframe is six to twelve months, depending on the resources available and the level of documentation already in place.
During this time the consultant may act as an interim quality manager, thus providing continuity throughout the project. The following activities are included in this service:
- Project planning (a detailed map of the activities to the completion of the project)
- Document preparation (including industry specific templates, customised to your business)
- Delivery and co-ordination of the required training throughout the project
- Document and change control administration
