Abstract : Many view Quality Management System (QMS) as a necessary evil for a medical device company— something you must have in order to be compliant. A QMS is often times seen as the set of procedures that define the rules and restrictions that must be followed in the quest for designing, developing, and manufacturing medical devices. Few understand the importance of QMS being beneficial. And most companies implement QMS that is largely rule-based, restrictive, cumbersome, and largely ineffective. The conventional approach for establishing a quality management system is that of addressing compliance to regulations—sometimes resulting in direct regurgitation of requirements defined in ISO 13485:2016 and other quality system requirements and regulations An introduction for anyone involved in the development, implementation and management of a QMS based on ISO 13485
