ISO 13485:
A Complete Guide to Quality
Management in the Medical Device Industry
Although complex and lengthy, the process of certification for the ISO 13485 can be
easily mastered using the simple method outlined in ISO 13485: A Complete Guide to
Quality Management in the Medical Device Industry.
Written by an experienced industry professional, this practical book provides a
complete guide to the ISO 13485 Standard certification for medical device manufacturing.
Filled with examples drawn from the author’s experience and spanning different
sectors and fields of the medical device industry, the book translates the extra ordinary
requirements and objectives of the standard into feasible activities and tasks. The book
provides a full analysis of each clause and sub clause through quality perspectives: the
implications on an organization, its processes, management, human resources,
infrastructures, work environment, control and effectiveness, documentations and records.
The book is organized like the standard itself — the table of contents is identical
to the ISO 13485 Standard’s table of contents — making it user friendly, familiar, and
unintimidating. You can use the book as a consulting session — read it, explore it
,extract ideas — and draw on the information and knowledge that suits you and your
organization, and then apply it effectively to your quality management system and
processes.
