This ICR collects information from medical device manufacturers who must meet the Current Good Manufacturing Practice Quality System (CGMP/QS) requirements for purchasing and service controls; recordkeeping requirements for device failure and complaint investigations; requirements for verifying/validating production processes and process or product changes; and requirements for product acceptance activities, quality data evaluations, and corrections of nonconforming product/quality problems. CGMP/QS information collections assist FDA inspections of manufacturer compliance with quality system requirements encompassing design, production, installation, and servicing processes. Manufacturers must ensure that medical devices meet design specifications and that design specifications are effectively transferred from research and development to production.
