Whether you’re a seasoned professional in the medical device industry or new to regulatory compliance, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Why the QMSR Matters
The FDA’s QMSR, which will replace the longstanding Quality System Regulation (QSR), aligns with international standards like ISO 13485 to modernize regulatory compliance for medical devices. This shift represents a significant opportunity for manufacturers to enhance their processes, ensure product quality, and maintain market access. And medical device manufacturers who market their products in the United States (some Class I, most Class II, and all Class III) must comply with the QMSR starting February 2, 2026.
The primary concern for any healthcare product is patient safety. A quality system ensures that products meet stringent safety standards throughout the manufacturing process, from raw material sourcing to distribution. This helps mitigate the risk of harm to patients and reduces the likelihood of adverse events.
