ISO 13485 is the most widely known quality standard in the medical device industry. It is very similar to ISO 9001, but brings a specific approach to subjects like documentation, traceability, inspection, sterilization and others. Medical device companies follow ISO 13485 to ensure they meet customer requirements, and also the applicable regulations for the marketplaces where the medical devices are supplied.
The emergence of new diseases and the phenomenon of population aging are quickly increasing the demand for medical devices. In an environment where margins are slim and government regulation is high, medical device suppliers need to overcome the challenge of innovation and provide high quality equipment at lower costs.
