MDSAP

One Audit, Five Markets

The Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) enables medical device manufacturers to qualify for multiple markets with a single audit: Australia, Brazil, Japan, Canada, and the USA. The benefits of the program extend beyond the recognition of results for medical device registration, including the reduction of on-site inspections by participating authorities and related costs.

Primary Packaging Materials for Medicinal Products

ISO 15378 applies to manufacturers of primary packaging materials that come into direct contact with pharmaceutical products. The standard covers all common materials used for primary packaging, such as glass, rubber, aluminum, and plastics. All contract manufacturers of these materials or manufacturers who package pharmaceutical products themselves can ensure early compliance with high GMP standards and international acceptance with ISO 15378. For suppliers of primary packaging materials for pharmaceutical products, the standard includes all relevant GMP requirements and enables compliance with international, European, and national legal guidelines.

Certification for Medical Devices in the EU Market

As of May 26, 2021, the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) (EU) 2017/745 has heralded a new era for medical device companies operating within the European Economic Area (EEA). This regulation has replaced both the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD) and the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive 90/385/EEC (AIMDD). With an unwavering focus on patient safety and product efficacy, the MDR establishes rigorous standards and conformity assessment procedures that companies must adhere to before bringing their devices to market in the EEA.
