This ICR collects information from
medical device manufacturers, whose establishment has been audited
under one of the regulatory systems implemented by the Global
Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) founding members using ISO
13485:2003 Technical Corrigendum 1:2009 (or a national adoption of
this standard, e.g., EN ISO 13485:2003/AC:2009, CAN/CAS ISO 13485
13485:2003) "Medical devices – Quality management systems –
Requirements for regulatory purposes." Manufacturers may
voluntarily submit the resulting audit report to FDA. If, based on
that report, FDA determines there is minimal probability -- in
light of the relationship between the quality system deficiencies
observed and the particular device and manufacturing processes
involved -- that the establishment will produce nonconforming
and/or defective finished devices, then FDA intends to use the
audit results as part of its risk assessment to determine whether
that establishment can be removed from FDA's routine inspection
work plan for one year from the last day of the ISO 13485:2003
audit. The voluntarily submitted ISO 13485:2003 audit report
provides FDA some information on the conformance of the
manufacturer with basic and fundamental quality management system
requirements for medical devices.
