Economic operator definition
Not really sure whether I address the correct people, possibly this question came up more often. I distribute medical devices. The opportunity arises to expand our market and to deliver devices to customers of another company. We distribute the medical devices, the other company does not interfere at all with the device handling, traceability and follow-up processes (MDR obligations). They only send an invoice. Does that make them an economic operator with MDR obligations? Am I correct that if they do NOT touch the device at all with their processes (except for billing) that they will have no MDR obligations as “economic operator”? -
Purchasing and Evaluation of Suppliers
I was hoping you could answer a question for me, I am looking at section 10, Purchasing and Evaluation of Suppliers. I am confused with 3.3 and 3.4. Is this referring to new suppliers that we are in the process of selecting? Already approved suppliers? Or both? The reason I ask is I am unsure how you can analyse previous purchasing and shipment quality of a new supplier. -
Accessories and standalone SaMD
Could you please provide advise on the following scenario: We are currently working with a medical device class III and in order to fulfil the medical device`s intended purpose, a SaMD is developed and defined as an accessory. There is a strong architecture segregation according to a risk based approach and 62304 that ensure the SaMD to be class II based on the FDA: ...an accessory has the same class as the “parent device”, unless there are different risks for the accessory and the parent device. The accessories are then independently classified according to these risks... Is it possible to assume a similar approach will comply with the MDR regulation? Based on this assumption: Is it possible to reuse the same accessory with other Medical Devices with different classifications, most of them class II and have its own DHF? Is it possible to develop the accessory as a standalone SaMD as an interoperable software as medical device, with interface description, interoperable specification/residual risks etc..and with its own DHF? Is this scenarion feasible in the current MDR regulation? Thank you -
ISO 13485 Effectiveness criteria
I attended training in Advisera and got your contact as ISO 13485 consultant and have question regarding clause 4.1.3. Here we can find, that for each quality management system process, the organization shall: determine criteria and methods needed to ensure that both the operation and control of these processes are effective. And my question is: if these criteria should be quantitative or qualitative? and if we have Procedure for Document Control and Procedure for Control of Quality Records - these procedures have to include effectiveness criteria?Also, for instance we have described Change Management process and effectiveness criteria for this process are: Timely notification and implementation of changes; Data analysis results. Are these ok? -

Question about notify body
I am putting an ISO 13485 QMS system. I have previously had 2 QMS systems in other companies accredited by notified bodies and thought that this is the only way to gain certification. My present line Manager states other companies other than notified bodies can issue ISO 13485 instead of going down the notified body route, I am not sure that this is right. I cannot find a company that does this. Am I right in thinking it has to be a notified body
