Frequently asked questions

What are the key sections to include in the MDSAP gap analysis checklist?

The checklist includes sections covering management responsibility, resource management, product realization, measurement analysis, and improvement processes. Each section contains specific questions aligned with MDSAP requirements, helping you systematically evaluate your quality management system against international regulatory standards.

How can I prioritize findings from my MDSAP gap analysis?

Categorize findings by risk level and potential impact on product quality and regulatory compliance. Address critical gaps that could affect product safety or result in major nonconformities first, followed by moderate issues, while maintaining a documented timeline for resolving all identified gaps.

What should I do if my team struggles with implementing compliance changes?

If your team struggles with compliance changes, enhance training programs and improve cross-departmental communication. Regular updates to processes and involving your team in planning can foster a culture of accountability. Also, providing clear guidelines and tools simplifies the transition and reduces the risk of errors.

How does this checklist differ from a standard ISO 13485 audit checklist?

While ISO 13485 forms the foundation of MDSAP, this checklist incorporates additional country-specific requirements from all five participating regulatory authorities. It also follows the process-based audit approach unique to MDSAP, examining how processes interconnect rather than assessing them in isolation.
