The 7 Process Chapters of the MDSAP Audit Roadmap

Now, let’s consider the MDSAP Audit Roadmap process.  The Auditor will follow each of the seven process chapters below.

The audit sequence covers four primary processes:

1) Management
2) Measurement Analysis and Improvement
3) Design and Development
4) Production and Service Controls

The audit process also covers one enabling process:

5) Purchasing

There are also two supporting processes:

6) Device Marketing Authorization and Facility Registration
7) Medical Device Events and Advisory Notices Reporting

Each Chapter Process (1 through 7) contains multiple audit tasks that are to be verified/confirmed during the audit.  Each audit task references the applicable clause of ISO 13485:2016.  Included are specific regulatory requirements from the five participating countries.

Throughout the audit there is a focus on risk management and linkages between the processes.
