The FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR), for medical devices marketed in the US, includes requirements for management responsibility. There are five major components: Quality Policy, Organization, Management Review, Quality Planning, and Quality System Procedures. This presentation explains the various components and offers recommendations for implementation.

It also examines the structure of regulation in 21 CFR §820.20 and its constituent parts. This section has many defined terms that bear on the understanding, and this presentation looks at these terms and explains what they mean.

Our speaker draws on many sources to provide attendees with understanding, including the regulation preamble – where FDA published its reasoning, intent and expectations – and also FDA’s Quality System Inspection Technique, which guides inspectors.

The presentation also examines some FDA warning letters to help participants understand the issues that FDA uncovers and considers important.
