Answer:
With regards to clause 4.2.3 Medical Device File, ISO 13485 did not state that the document preparer, reviewer and approver shall be a different person. However, in most practices, it is best that the preparer does not review and approve his or her own work so as to be objective. But the reviewer and the approver can be the same person.
If the same preparer&reviewer or same reviewer&approver is acceptable?
Answer:
In this case, the same reviewer and approver are acceptable.

Dear Sir/Madam,
May I know the general financial activities, the procurement process could assign the preparer, reviewer, approver and buyer (who place the requesting order) to be the SAME person.
It means no separation but all roles are responsible by SAME person?
Will it violate any regulation or law?
Thank You!
Best Regards,
Will Chang
