SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Medical device teams facing FDA inspections, internal QSR audits, or Form 483 responses need a structured way to pressure-test their quality system against 21 CFR 820 requirements before regulators do.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Six Forcing Questions: Systematically probes complaint/MDR handling, process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), DHR completeness, CAPA effectiveness, labeling compliance, and Form 483 closure status.
  • ISO 13485 Cross-Walk: Maps QSR findings against ISO 13485 clauses following the post-February 2026 harmonization, identifying FDA-specific overlays like labeling and MDR reporting.
  • Structured Verdict Output: Produces an inspection-readiness report with a green/yellow/red verdict, top three actions with owners and FDA-cited timelines, and escalation flags for outside counsel.
  • Use Case: Before an annual internal QSR audit, run the interrogation to sample DHRs, review aging CAPAs over 90 days, and verify MDR reporting timelines, then receive a gap list prioritized by regulatory risk.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run an FDA QSR audit prep review on your medical device quality system scope, covering complaint files, process validation, DHRs, CAPAs, labeling, and any open Form 483 observations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prepare for an FDA QSR inspection of a medical device?

Run a structured readiness review covering the six most-cited areas: complaint and MDR handling, process validation, device history records, CAPA effectiveness, labeling, and prior Form 483 closure. This skill walks through each area with specific 21 CFR citations and produces a gap list with owners and timelines.

What are the most-cited FDA inspection areas under 21 CFR 820?

Complaint handling and MDR reporting under 21 CFR 820.198 and 21 CFR 803 are the most-cited areas, followed by CAPA under 820.100, process validation under 820.75, and device history records under 820.180. The interrogation samples each area for completeness and timeline compliance.

Does FDA QSR still apply after the ISO 13485 harmonization?

Yes. Post-February 2026, QSR is substantially harmonized with ISO 13485, but FDA-specific overlays remain for labeling under 21 CFR 801, complaint handling, MDR reporting, and recall procedures. The skill cross-walks findings to ISO 13485 and flags the remaining FDA-only requirements.

How long do I have to respond to an FDA Form 483?

Responses to Form 483 observations are due within 15 working days. Each observation needs documented corrective and preventive action with a timeline and effectiveness verification evidence, and Warning Letters follow a separate response track.

When should I not rely on this audit prep skill alone?

Escalate to outside counsel for Warning Letter responses, recall decisions, and 510(k) or PMA strategy disputes. The skill flags these situations in its output rather than attempting to provide legal strategy.
