"We are proud of the robust systems our team has built that ensure strict control over development and continuous improvement processes," said Beatriz Laranjeiro, SmartMed's QARA Officer and PRRC.

The standard establishes requirements for an organization's quality management system and how it handles the design, development, production, installation and maintenance of medical devices. Companies that meet these quality requirements must prove that they consistently review and validate their product development and manufacturing processes, manage their operations with effective procedures, and maintain records for product traceability.
