Transition from Design Textbook to

Best Industry Practices

Year Long Capstone Design Experience Sufficient Transition=>Design Textbook to QSR 1st semester

- BME Capstone Not Just a Class => Rather a Transforming Experience - Immerse Design Students in Contemporary Industry [MD&D]) Issues & Views

- Treat as a Medical Device Product Design & Development Mfg Organization

- Introduce Quality System Regulation => Rationale then Requirements

- Show Connectivity and Relevance Between:Generic Product Design & Development Process =>

Design Controls- Emphasize Need for Documentation => DHF, DMR, DHR,

QSR - Intermediate Transition - Design Report Reflects QS Requirements

2nd semester - - Less Reliance on Design Textbook => QSR/Design Controls

Primary Textbook- QSR Guidance Documents => Drive Product Development Process- Final Transition => QSR-Based FDA Device Submission & DHF, QSR, DMR, (DHR)

Best Industry Practices

A process, technique, or innovative use of resources that that

consistently produces superior results => has a proven record of

success in providing significant improvement in cost, schedule,

quality, performance, safety, environment, or other measurable

factors which impact the health of an organization.

Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry Best Practices Each manufacturer shall establish and maintain a

quality system that is appropriate for the specific medical device(s) designed or manufactured and that meets the requirements of the QSR

Medical Device Quality Systems Manual:

A Small Entity Compliance GuideRead both the Preface/Forward and Chapter 1 of the QSR and then address the tasks described in more detail below. You are then requested to provide brief but succinct and well-synthesized responses to the following questions:

(a) In what respect(s) does the FDA Quality Systems Regulations differ from the previous FDA Good Manufacturing Practices? (b) What is the intent of the FDA QSR?(c) What is the true intent of the terms ‘appropriate’ or ‘where appropriate’ conveyed mean?(d) What does the FDA QSR require?(e) Who and what does the FDA QSR cover?(f) Are there any establishments of medical devices that are exempt? If so, who/ why?(g) Who are the mainstream ‘Medical Device Manufacturers’? (h) Who are ‘Component Manufacturers?(i) Who are ‘Remanufacturers’? (j) Who are ‘Custom Device Manufacturers’?(k) Who are ‘Contract Manufacturers’?(l) Who are ‘Contract Testing Laboratories’?(m) Who are ‘Repackagers, Relabelers, and Specification Developers’?(n) Why does the FDA distinguish various types of ‘medical device manufacturers’?

In order to help us better appreciate the intent of this broad statutory regulation that governs our industry as it applies to your impending medical device product design, you are requested to read Chapter 2 of the QSR entitled ‘Quality Systems’.

(a) What is a ‘quality system’ and why should it be an integrated effort? (b) Identify all quality assurance activities (c) What is the most important aspect of an entity/organization employing a quality systems approach?(d) Is it enough to simply put a quality systems process in place? If not why? And, if not, then what else is necessary?(e) Compare and contrast the attributes of the FDA QS regulation and those other Quality Assurance (QA) systems listed in the QS document at hand.(f) Briefly list the Quality Systems ‘best practices’ and give a brief explanation of what each practice entails.(g) What is the rationale behind the statement that ‘a medical device manufacturer should NEVER try to operate on the basis that only the quality system organization has primary and direct responsibility for the quality of

product’ designed, developed and manufactured. (h) Please list at least five factors that can have an impact on product quality.
