The device file builds itself
The medical device file and design & development file assemble continuously from specification, manufacturing, packaging and labelling records already in the system.
• Medical Devices
Design control, production and post-market surveillance on one record. Built for 21 CFR Part 820 as amended by the QMSR, ISO 13485:2016 and EU MDR.
Supported frameworks, not certifications. Regulatory updates included.
Why now
Since 2 February 2026, Part 820 incorporates ISO 13485:2016 directly. The vocabulary changed, and so did what an inspector can ask to see.
The ISO 13485 medical device file and the design and development file replace the older FDA record terms.
Management review, internal audit and supplier audit records are now open to inspection.
Section 820.35 still asks for complaint data elements, servicing records and UDI per device or batch.
What is tailored
Where the Medical Devices pack changes how the core behaves.
The medical device file and design & development file assemble continuously from specification, manufacturing, packaging and labelling records already in the system.
UDI recorded per device or batch, with GUDID and EUDAMED attribute changes tracked automatically on a 30-day clock.
Complaint intake carries the prescribed data elements and reporting clock from the moment it's logged; nonconformities need an effectiveness review before they can close.
Servicing records are held to the same controls as production records, not tracked in a separate spreadsheet.
Built for medical devices
These features switch on with the medical devices pack, on the same record as your design, production and quality work.
01 / Inventory · Device history
Each lot links back to the supplier lots and receipts behind it, and forward to every build and shipment it reached. The tests and approvals on the lot sit alongside, so the device history is one view, not a binder.
Each device lot links to the supplier lots and receipts behind its components.
Every build and shipment the lot reached is on the same view, so the reach of a complaint is already known.
Tests, labelling examination and QA approval sit on the lot, so missing evidence shows before final release.
02 / Shop floor · Qualification
Each production unit keeps its qualification protocols and history. Requalification rules set when it is due, and the unit cannot run production while it is requalifying.
DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ keep their protocols, results and approvals on the unit’s record.
Requalification rules set when the next PQ is due, so it is planned, not found at an audit.
Work orders cannot start on the unit until the report is approved and QA releases it.
03 / QMS · Complaints
Complaint intake records the data elements the regulation asks for. Evaluation, investigation and the reporting decision each have an owner and a due date, and the score at stake shows what an open complaint costs your readiness.
Intake captures the device, the lot, the complainant and the event, the data elements Section 820.35 still asks for.
Evaluation, investigation and the reporting decision each get a named owner and a due date.
A reportable event runs on its market’s clock, such as 30 calendar days under Part 803, and escalates before it expires.
04 / Shop floor · Calibration and servicing
Calibration records and schedules cover every instrument and fixture. Overdue equipment is blocked at the step, and servicing is recorded with the same controls as production.
Each instrument and fixture keeps its calibration records, the standard used and its next due date.
A step that needs an overdue instrument cannot start until a passing calibration is recorded.
Servicing is signed and audit-trailed like production, not kept in a separate spreadsheet.
Clocks and licences
The same event carries a different deadline in each market. The system starts the right timer, names an owner and escalates before it expires. The India pack holds the licensing paperwork.

Regulatory change
The Compliance Engine tracks the rules that apply to you, works out what a change touches, updates the system and re-validates before release. You file no change request.
The current medical device quality management standard replaced the 2003 edition. The pack maps its clauses to records in the platform.
Regulation 2017/745 replaced the Medical Device Directive, adding UDI, post-market surveillance and stricter technical documentation.
The ISO 13485 medical device file and design & development file replaced the old device-master-record vocabulary in the pack the same month FDA's rule took effect.
Devices placed on the EU market before 28 May 2026 and still sold must be registered in the UDI and device module.
For Class B and Class A sterile in vitro diagnostics.
For Class III and implantable Class IIb devices.
For Class IIa, non-implantable Class IIb and the remaining Class I categories.
Validation readiness
Available on the Dedicated tier, mapped to your workflows. URS, IQ, OQ, PQ, RTM and GAMP 5.
Certification in progress. Encryption, access control and backups are described on Security & Trust.
The Compliance Engine scores inspection readiness continuously, with guidance on each open gap.
