Upcoming course dates
This course will give you an understanding of the purpose and requirements of ISO 13485, and introduce you to the management of quality systems. The interactive nature of the course means that you will have the opportunity to practise your learning, discuss your experiences with other delegates, and ask questions of the tutor.
With this grounding you can develop your skills further as an internal auditor by attending our ISO 13485 Internal Auditor training course. The 2 courses run consecutively, and you can receive a discount if you book both together.
Medical devices are highly regulated. Design and manufacture of devices being placed in the EU are expected to follow the mandatory European Device Directive and the non-mandatory ISO 13485. In addition they need to comply with local regulations.
While both of these ISO standards relate to quality management systems, there are some significant differences. For example, ISO 9001 focuses on achieving increased customer satisfaction through continuous improvement. Device safety is the important factor in ISO 13485 and medical device regulation (MDR), and the aim is to maintain effectiveness. The two approaches also differ in the demands for documentation, record keeping and risk management.
