The new ISO 13485:2016 standard provides an effective framework to meet the comprehensive requirements for a medical devices quality management system; for manufacturers and service providers to both comply and demonstrate their compliance to regulatory requirements.

ISO 13485:2016 supports the design of a quality management system that establishes and maintains the effectiveness of a manufacturer’s processes to ensure the consistent design, development, production, installation, and delivery of medical devices, or related services, that are safe for their intended purpose.

The new edition is applicable across the whole supply chain and seeks to address the entire lifecycle of a medical device.

• Application to organizations throughout the lifecycle and supply chain for medical devices;

• Harmonization of the requirements for software validation for different software applications. In previous versions of ISO 13485, this has not been as clear as it needed to be.  Software validation and on-going functional verification of software are now equally importance across the standard.

• Emphasis on appropriate infrastructure, particularly for production of sterile medical devices, and addition of requirements for validation of sterile barrier properties.
