What is deGRANDSON’s ISO 13485 Implementation Model?

The ISO 13485 Implementation Model was developed by deGRANDSON Global: The 33 Steps to ISO 13485 Implementation is the model we have developed for implementing a medical device management system (MDMS) to meet the requirements of ISO 13485 and to secure accredited Certification.

It is the foundation on which our ISO 13485 courses are built.

So, where does it come from?

The International Standards Organisation (ISO) has published two standards that focus on developing and implementing an organization’s QMS:

  • The quality management system standard: ISO 9001:2015. This standard is the specification for a QMS. It specifies the requirements of a quality management system for organizations seeking to establish, implement and maintain a framework to consistently meet and exceed customer expectations.
  • The Regulations of UK MHRA, EU EMA. US FDA, Other MDSAP Adopters, and WHO for the rest of the World.  Cognizance of this ever-changing mass of regulation and associated Guidelines has been taken in interpreting the Standard’s implementation in compliance with the regulations as applicable.

To help make sense of it all from an MDMS Implementer/Project Manager’s viewpoint, we have developed this ISO 13485 Implementation Handbook, which you’ll find embedded below. Alternatively, you can also get a copy of it by downloading the PDF file below.
