Quality system regulation for USA (CFR 820)

Medical device approvals in the US require compliance with the quality system regulations (QSR) defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that are in many aspects more demanding than ISO 13485 quality management requirements.

Due to many years of fruitful cooperation with US medical device manufacturers, OPTANA is familiar with the implementation of the QSR / CFR 820 standard including the specialties related to it.

 

  

Risk management (ISO 14971)

To proof safety in a transparent and comprehensible manner is a highly complex, but indispensable activity that starts already at the very beginning of the development. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of risk management, reaching from clinical aspects down to deeply technical questioning, highest attention, experience and excellence is required.

OPTANA supports companies in their risk management activities and during the generation and maintenance of the top-level DHA (Device Hazard Analysis) (DHA) as well as for FMEAs (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) related to the designs and processes.
