Potential Benefits
Multiple individual audits or inspections by participating regulatory bodies or their representatives are replaced by a single audit. As a result, the Medical Device Single Audit Program minimises the overall number of audits or inspections and optimises the time and resources spent on audit operations for many medical device manufacturers.
- As a long-term goal, it is expected that the programme will increase trust in the reliability of third-party audits, that more Regulatory Authorities will join the programme, and that other Regulatory Authorities will use the information made available through the programme to reduce the need for additional audits.
- Some participating regulatory agencies may utilize MDSAP audit results instead of their own inspections to process medical device marketing authorization applications.
-
The medical device manufacturer, like any other third-party auditing programme, is free to select any recognised auditing agency to execute the audits. Routine audits are announced and organised in collaboration with the manufacturer.
- Enhanced auditing organization recognition criteria,
- Monitoring of auditing organizations by the participating Regulatory Authorities,
- The use of a standard MDSAP audit model,
- The grading of any nonconformity using objective criteria to characterize the significance of the finding,
- The reporting of the audit outcomes using a standard report template.
- Enrollment in the MDSAP may be seen as proof of a health device manufacturer’s commitment to medical device quality management systems for product quality and regulatory compliance.
