FDA 21 CFR Part 820 QSR

MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS

The QSR establishes requirements for a quality management system (QMS) that medical device manufacturers must follow in order to ensure that their products meet the necessary standards for quality and safety. The QSR also establishes requirements for the design, development, production, and distribution of medical devices, as well as requirements for record keeping and reporting.

The QSR is based on the principle that medical device manufacturers should be able to demonstrate that they are capable of consistently providing products that meet customer requirements and expectations, as well as regulatory requirements. To meet the QSR, an organization must implement a QMS that includes processes for planning, implementing, reviewing, and improving its operations

Organizations that are subject to the QSR are required to undergo regular inspections by the FDA to ensure that they are in compliance with the regulations. Non-compliance with the QSR can result in regulatory action, including warning letters, fines, and product recalls.


FDA Quality Management System Regulation

The QMSR is now in the transitiion period. In February of 2024, the FDA 21 CFR Part 820 Quality System was amended to incorporate the ISO 13485:2016. The QMSR Rule will be effective in 2026. The intention was to harmonize and modernize the FDA 21 CFR Part 820 regulation with international quality standards ISO 13485:2016. The FDA will not require ISO 13485 certification. However, companies which are ISO 13485 certified will be better able to navigate the new requirements of the QMSR.
