Building a Compliant QMS for SaMD

To enter the EU market, your SaMD must be developed under a Quality Management System (QMS) that complies with ISO 13485.

What You Need

  • ISO 13485: General quality framework
  • ISO 14971: Risk management integration
  • IEC 62304: Software development lifecycle

Best Practices

  • Build your QMS, don’t buy a generic one
  • Ensure continuous documentation and audits
  • Tie QMS to real clinical risk management

Cybersecurity Integration

Use MDCG 2019-16 as a guideline for secure development. Cybersecurity is considered a safety issue under EU MDR, it is not just IT hygiene.
