Design Control SOP
Governmental agencies in the world of Medical Devices, in particular the FDA (CDRH), are challenging companies continuously in regard to their Design Control Program. For the recent years it was always one of the top 5 findings in warning letters. The development of a new medical device or main design changes must be managed in a structured environment, which will be the basis of the Design History File (DHF) as well as the Design Master Record (DMR). That is the basis to consistently deliver the intended performance, safety and quality attributes of a medical device. This Design Control Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is ready to use and meets the expectations of a structured development by guiding the design efforts through well defined input and output phases. The 11-page SOP only needs some minor manufacture or design center specific modification before it can be used for your development.
