ISO 13485 vs. ISO 9001
I would like to know what are the similarities and differences between the two standards. I have experience with ISO 9001 and I have to implement ISO 13485. Could I rely to ISO 9001 or I need to get acquainted with this standard in detail?

No, you can not relay completely to ISO 9001:2015 because ISO 13485 does not have the same structure as ISO 9001 (ISO 9001:2015 has 10 sections, while ISO 13485 still have 8). Also, ISO 13485 has some specific requirements (like requirements for sterilization, implantable medical devices, service or installation). So, you need to get acquainted in details with ISO 13485:2016.
