Med Dev Product Life Cycle
As mentioned, ‘validation’ covers a host of efforts.
There are validation aspects to address in each of the product life blocks such as:
- Planning
- R&D
- Production
- And Post-Market
Which includes deployment, service, upgrades, and through to the retirement phase.
But there are also validation aspects to consider for all the support processes too such as:
- Quality System Activities
- Configuration Management
- Purchasing
- Document Control
- And Calibration etc
As you can see, validation is a continuous process that spans a large portion of the entire manufacturing process.
