The ISO 13485 Consulting organization must manage and extract value from the vast amounts of structured and unstructured information and data, ensuring their organization stays updated and compliant with regulatory, regional, and local requirements.
The organization should implement effective systems to track and monitor safety and benefit-risk information throughout the life-cycle of its products in line with ISO 13485 requirements.
I3CGLOBAL ISO 13485 consultants identify and integrate product-specific regulatory requirements such as MDR, IVDR, or FDA 510k during the implementation. This will help later when the organization plans for CE marking or 510k clearance.
