Do you know how to handle complaints regarding your medical device?
Medical device companies that market their devices in Europe or the United States must establish a customer complaint handling process to comply with regulatory quality standards. In the U.S., medical device quality systems are regulated by 21 CFR Part 820, the medical device quality system regulations. Complaints that warrant Medical Device Reports (MDRs) should be filed with the FDA in accordance with 21 CFR Part 803. Medical device manufacturers can find the full requirements for complaint handling under 21 CFR § 820.198.
