Glenview IL -- LCR Hallcrest is pleased to announce achieving ISO13485:2016 certification under the updated regulation, which is the internationally recognized standard for quality management systems in the medical device industry. LCR Hallcrest has demonstrated its ability to produce, sell and service the sales of medical devices while satisfying applicable regulatory requirements.
The updated regulations are more than a revision, they are essentially a new regulation with increased regulatory requirements that strengthen quality systems for medical devices. All processes that are part of the quality system will now be required to utilize a risk-based approach including outsourced processes. This is a significant expansion from ISO 13485:2003, in which only product design controls and product realization processes were subject to risk assessment.
Some of the significant changes within the manufacturer include the appointment of a person responsible for regulatory compliance, defining the skills and experience necessary to manage the quality management system, maintaining new structure and levels of detail for the technical file, and the implementation of the Unique Device Identification system processes and marking.
