Question 1.
To assist guarantee that medical devises consistently fulfill relevant criteria and
specifications, manufacturers must create and adhere to quality systems. Current Good
Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) are the quality management systems for items (food,
pharmaceuticals, biologics, and devices) that are subject to FDA regulation. Section 520(f) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act initially established CGMP regulations for devices in part
820 (21 CFR part 820). (the act). Despite being a lengthy document, 21 CFR Part 820 presents
medical device quality system rules (QSR) in a form that is easy for manufacturers to understand
and apply to their own unique product. The QSR is divided into 15 subparts and is organized in
descending order from broad concerns concerning scope to specific guidelines for what
manufacturers should do and when.
It outlines the purpose of 21 CFR Part 820 (to guarantee that completed devices will be
safe and effective) and who is covered by it (manufacturers of finished medical devices). It
makes the crucial observation that manufacturers that solely participate in certain steps of the
medical device production process must adhere to the relevant regulations.
The original CGMP regulation's "umbrella" philosophy, which served as its foundation,
is adopted by the QS regulation. The legislation does not specify in detail how a maker must
create a particular gadget since it must apply to so many various kinds of devices. Instead, the
rule establishes the framework that all manufacturers must adhere to by mandating that they
create and implement processes and fill in the specifics that are suitable for a given device in
accordance with the most recent manufacturing standards for that particular item.

Manufacturers should use good judgment when creating their quality system and
implement the parts of the QS rule, 21 CFR 820.5, that pertain to their particular goods and
activities. Within this flexibility, it is the duty of each manufacturer to establish standards for
each type or family of devices that will lead to products that are safe and efficient, as well as to
establish practices and methods for developing, manufacturing, and distributing products that
adhere to the standards of the quality system. Even if the actual task may be assigned, the
responsibility for completing these standards and having proof that they have been met cannot
be.
A rule that will be followed throughout the whole regulation is also established in this
first section: if two rules clash, "the regulation expressly relevant to the device in issue must
trump the more general." Without mandating a particular method for establishing these features,
the FDA has defined in the QS rule the basic elements that a quality system should incorporate.
The QS regulation permits some flexibility in the specifics of quality system components since it
covers a wide range of devices, manufacturing methods, etc. It is up to the manufacturers to
decide which quality components are essential or how important they are, as well as to create and
execute specialized methods that are suited to their unique processes and devices.
Manufacturers of completed products with the intention of commercially distributing
medical devices are subject to the QS rule. According to 21 CFR 820.3(l), a completed device is
any device or accessory to a device that is ready for use or functional, regardless of whether it
has been packed, labeled, or sterilized. Because they are accessories to completed devices, the
FDA considers certain components, such blood tubing and diagnostic x-ray components, to be
finished devices. A producer of accessories is governed by QS regulations.
