Frequently Asked Questions

What is ISO 13485 and why do Charlotte medical device companies need it?▼
ISO 13485 is the international quality management standard specifically designed for medical device manufacturers. Charlotte-area medical device companies need it to demonstrate regulatory compliance, access global markets, and meet customer requirements—especially those selling to hospitals, OEMs, or exporting internationally.
How does ISO 13485 relate to FDA 21 CFR Part 820?▼
ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 (QSR) share many requirements. Implementing ISO 13485 covers approximately 80% of FDA requirements, making it an excellent foundation. We help companies align their QMS to satisfy both simultaneously.
How long does ISO 13485 certification take for Charlotte companies?▼
Medical device companies typically achieve ISO 13485 certification in 6-12 months, depending on current QMS maturity, product risk classification, and regulatory requirements. We offer accelerated programs for companies with tight timelines.
Do you have experience with Design Controls and Risk Management?▼
Absolutely. Design Controls (per ISO 13485 Section 7.3) and Risk Management (ISO 14971) are our specialty areas. We have hands-on experience implementing these critical systems across Class I, II, and III medical devices.
