Overview of the webinar

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was established to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based, market-relevant standards that are designed to help support innovation and to provide solutions to tackle global issues. ISO is an independent, international NGO and has a membership of 162 national standards bodies.

The ISO organization established ISO13485 in a structured way that describes various departments and has develops requirements for Medical Device Industry’s QMS. In 2016, ISO updated the ISO13485 (:2003) standard. This reflected the changes in the industry and in the regulatory bodies. The standard was updated by being designed for regulatory purposes.

The standard updates included an emphasis on regulatory compliance and expected organization to meet appropriate regulatory requirements.  This also was meant to increase commonality with the ISO standard and regulatory bodies. It was designed to accommodate any global standard.  This allowed it to improve convergence of US FDA (21CFR820), Japan, and ISO requirements. The standard was modified to align better with the EU Medical Device Directive (MDD) needs as well. The revision was also an opportunity to converge US, Japan, and Brazil unique requirements with ISO 13485 text, making it truly global standards.

ISO13485:2016 also increased awareness of the need for the following:

  • Emphasis on competency
  • Record keeping 
  • Risk management
  • Other enhancements.

This session will focus on the changes of the ISO13485:2003 in the relationship with the updated standard - ISO13485:2016

Who should attend?

  • Top Management and Company Leadership 
  • General Manager
  • Quality Manager and Quality personnel
  • Regulatory Manager and Regulatory personnel 
  • Engineering Manager
  • Engineers
  • Audit Manager
  • Auditors
  • Purchasing Manager
  • Human Resource Manager
  • Document Control personnel

Why should you attend?

ISO13485 was developed to assist the global Medical Device industry, and in order to be a part of this industry a company (and its personnel) are responsible for implementation and maintenance of the ISO standards.

In 2016-2017, ISO rolled out the updated ISO13485 standard, which was last published in 2003. The update was made to reflect significant changes in the industry and in the regulatory atmosphere.  It is important to know these changes and how they would affect individual organizations.

If your organization is preparing to implement and certify to ISO13485, it would be best to know the latest version of the standards. If your organization is already registered to ISO13485:2003, and looking to re-certify to the new standard, this session can help develop a gap analysis from 2003 to the new standard. This session will highlight the differences of the 2016 and 2003 standard.
