A quality management system (QMS) encompasses all processes, procedures, and responsibilities that are needed for consistent product quality. It can cover a variety of medical device manufacturing aspects, including:
A QMS helps manufacturing staff follow production controls and standard operating procedures, support regulatory affairs teams to meet compliance requirements, enables quality assurance and quality control teams to oversee and conduct inspections, and gives design and development teams the necessary tools for design controls, risk management, and validation of products.
Quality management systems are important to the medical device manufacturing process for several reasons:
A QMS has many different layers to provide full capabilities and scope to achieve quality objectives.
Documentation and procedures
A QMS can establish clear procedures, work instructions, and records that guide all quality-related activities.
Risk management
QMS can identify, analyze, and mitigate risks throughout the product lifecycle.
Design controls
Manufacturers rely on a QMS to determine if the product design meets the user needs as well as regulatory requirements through the validation and verification process.
Production and process controls
A QMS helps to maintain consistent product quality through SOPs, training, equipment maintenance, and in-process inspections.
Nonconformance and CAPA
QMS tools can identify quality standard deviations and implement corrective actions to prevent a recurrence of the deviations.
Internal audits and management review
QMS can identify areas for improvement and supports effective compliance.
A quality management system is mandatory for medical device manufacturers in the United States.
