1. Is it possible for An ISO9001:2015 auditor to audit Medical Devie manufacturer?

This depends on how the auditor is familiar with the production of medical devices, how much does the auditor understand the production and safety requirements regarding the medical device. 

Also, it is important that ISO 9001:2015 is familiar with the ISO 13485:2016. It is not possible to make an audit without the knowledge and understanding the requirements from ISO 13485.
