Frequently Asked Questions
QMS implementation starts by defining applicable regulatory and quality requirements, then establishing documented processes for product development, risk management, design controls, quality assurance, supplier management, training, audits, and corrective actions. For SaMD, the system should also integrate software lifecycle, cybersecurity, usability, and validation processes appropriate to the product.
ISO 13485 is a key quality management standard for medical device organizations, including companies developing regulated medical software. Its applicability and certification requirements depend on the product, regulatory pathway, and target market. For SaMD, ISO 13485 can be integrated with software lifecycle, risk management, cybersecurity, and other applicable quality processes.
A SaMD QMS may need to address ISO 13485 for quality management, IEC 62304 for software lifecycle processes, and ISO 14971 for medical device risk management. Depending on the product, additional frameworks can include IEC 82304-1, ISO/IEC 27001 for information security, and ISO/IEC 42001 for AI governance.
IEC 62304 can be integrated into an ISO 13485 QMS by establishing controlled software lifecycle processes covering planning, development, verification, validation, maintenance, configuration management, and problem resolution. The QMS should maintain appropriate documentation and traceability so software development activities can be demonstrated as controlled and compliant.
ISO 14971 risk management should be integrated throughout the SaMD product lifecycle rather than treated as a separate activity. The QMS should establish processes for identifying hazards, evaluating risks, defining and implementing controls, assessing residual risk, and maintaining risk documentation as the software changes or new information becomes available.
A medical device QMS should incorporate cybersecurity activities appropriate to the product’s risks and regulatory requirements. These can include cybersecurity risk assessment, security controls, testing, documentation, vulnerability management, incident response, and lifecycle monitoring. Applicable FDA, IMDRF, MDCG, AAMI, and information-security expectations should be considered when establishing the processes.
Audit readiness requires documented and consistently implemented processes that demonstrate compliance with applicable requirements. Organizations should maintain controlled procedures, records, risk management documentation, software lifecycle evidence, training records, internal audits, corrective actions, and management oversight. Internal audits can help identify gaps before certification or regulatory inspections.
Global expansion may require the QMS to address different regulatory frameworks while maintaining a consistent quality foundation. Organizations should assess requirements across target markets such as the U.S., EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and APAC, then identify gaps involving documentation, quality processes, software controls, risk management, cybersecurity, and regulatory submissions.
An AI-based medical device may require governance processes beyond the core medical device QMS, depending on its intended use, regulatory requirements, and AI-related risks. ISO/IEC 42001 can provide an AI management framework addressing governance and accountability, while ISO 13485 remains focused on the medical device quality management system.
Before submission, a SaMD company should establish controlled processes covering software development, verification and validation, risk management, document control, change management, cybersecurity, usability, training, supplier controls, and quality records. The QMS should generate sufficient objective evidence to support the regulatory documentation and demonstrate that development activities are controlled.
