Quality management system ISO 13485

Build a functioning quality management system with us

A quality management system (QMS) is the most important requirement for manufacturers of CE-marked health tech products or other operators of the supply chain. By building the QMS according to standard ISO 13485, you can demonstrate conformity with regulatory and customer requirements.

Organizational and process development is closely connected to building a QMS. With our ISO 13485 -project model the QMS can be built both for large organizations and startups.

Risk management ISO 14971

Put a spotlight on safety throughout product life cycle

Medical device risk management is closely connected to ensuring safety of patients and other stakeholder groups. Risk management is a significant part of medical device life cycle. ISO 14971 -standard includes identifying hazards and related hazardous situations, risk analysis, and planning and execution of risk mitigations.

We help implement ISO 14971 risk management into practice and as a part of quality management system.

Audits

Develop your organization’s practices through audits

Audits are systematical and objective evaluations of organizational practices: they aim to ensure that the practices are in accordance with regulation, and recognize needed actions for development. Different types of audits are internal, external, and supplier audits.

Quality advisors of Clinipower have broad experience from medical device and quality management system audits: we offer you an independent and fair auditor. We also provide training and support in preparing for audits.

CE-mark and certification

Place your product successfully on market

Medical device development needs to consider various aspects before the product can be placed on market. We will walk all the way with you and make sure that your product can be CE-marked and certified.

We can support you for example in defining the intended purpose and classification of your product, creating documentation, and certification processes.

Clinical evaluation services

Clinical evaluation as part of medical device life cycle

Clinical evaluation ensures the safety and performance of a medical device. Clinical evaluation is mandatory for devices in all risk classes. In some cases, a clinical investigation is also required to demonstrate conformity. Clinical evaluation continues throughout device life cycle, also after placing on market.

We can assist for example with clinical evaluation plan and report, preparation of clinical testing and collection of post-market data according to your needs.
