- Manufacturers of medical devices that plan to distribute products in
the U.S. are required to adhere to Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP), under which the company must
establish a quality assurance program and its medical devices must meet
specifications and controls to guarantee they are safe and effective for
intended use."
- CGMP covers quality assurance programs and organization, buildings,
equipment, components, production and process controls, packaging and
label control, distribution and installation, device evaluation and
records.
- The FDA monitors medical device problem data and inspects the
operations and records of device manufacturers to determine CGMP quality
assurance compliance.
- These standards can be ordered through ANSI at 212-642-4900 and
www.ansi.org.
