MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) certification for medical devices in the United States covers a range of professional areas that ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements of multiple countries, including the United States. These areas are closely aligned with the requirements of FDA regulations and international standards. Key professional areas covered by MDSAP certification include:

1. Quality Management Systems (QMS):

   • Ensuring that the manufacturer has a robust QMS in place that complies with FDA’s 21 CFR Part 820 (Quality System Regulation) and ISO 13485:2016. This includes policies, procedures, and controls for all stages of the product lifecycle.

2. Design and Development Controls:

   • Evaluation of processes for designing, developing, and maintaining medical devices in compliance with regulatory requirements. This includes design input, output, verification, validation, and changes to designs throughout the product lifecycle.

3. Risk Management:

   • Ensuring that the manufacturer implements a risk management process according to ISO 14971 for identifying, evaluating, and controlling risks associated with medical devices.

4. Manufacturing and Process Controls:

   • Reviewing manufacturing processes, including process validation, control of production equipment, and product inspections to ensure devices meet required specifications and regulatory standards.

5. Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA):

   • Evaluating the manufacturer’s system for identifying, investigating, and resolving nonconformities and taking preventive actions to avoid future issues with medical devices.

6. Medical Device Reporting (MDR):

   • Ensuring that the manufacturer complies with FDA’s 21 CFR Part 803, which governs the reporting of adverse events and device-related incidents, as well as corrective actions taken in response.

7. Labeling and Instructions for Use (IFU):

   • Ensuring that labeling complies with FDA’s 21 CFR Part 801 and includes accurate product information, warnings, usage instructions, and any regulatory compliance statements necessary for the device.

8. Post-Market Surveillance:

   • Reviewing how the manufacturer monitors device performance after it has been placed on the market. This includes complaint handling, trend analysis, and corrective actions in response to customer feedback or adverse events.

9. Audits and Inspections:

   • Review of internal audits and management reviews to ensure continuous improvement of the QMS and regulatory compliance.

10. Supply Chain Management:

    • Assessing the management of suppliers and vendors to ensure that materials, components, and services meet the required regulatory standards.

These professional areas ensure that a medical device manufacturer has a comprehensive system in place for the development, production, and post-market management of medical devices, all while meeting the regulatory requirements of the United States, Canada, Brazil, Japan, and Australia.
