Quality is the structural foundation.

Our QMS practice is led by Jimmy Andrew Hayek, Head of Quality & Compliance, an ISO 13485:2016 lead with EU MDR and 21 CFR Part 11 validation expertise. The team also includes former Notified Body assessors, so your quality system is built the way a surveillance auditor reads it.

"Quality in clinical research is not a final checkpoint. It is the structural foundation of every protocol we write, every site we monitor, and every dataset we lock for submission."

FAQ

QMS questions, answered.

What does an ISO 13485:2016 QMS build include?

Full scope definition and Quality Manual, an SOP library of 40 to 80 procedures, design controls and DHF structure, ISO 14971 risk management, CAPA, complaint handling and vigilance, and PMS integration. Typical implementation from scratch is 3 to 5 months.

How long does QMS remediation after Notified Body findings take?

A CAPA for Notified Body findings typically takes 6 to 12 weeks, covering gap analysis against Article 10, root cause analysis, SOP remediation with an audit trail, technical documentation alignment and re-audit readiness verification.

Can Eclevar act as an outsourced Quality Manager?

Yes. QMS maintenance provides an outsourced Quality Manager function with annual internal audits, management review facilitation, CAPA trend analysis, complaint and vigilance management and surveillance visit preparation.

Does the QMS cover EU MDR Article 10 obligations such as PRRC and vigilance?

Yes. The QMS covers the Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (Article 15), post-market surveillance, vigilance on EU MDR timelines (Articles 87 to 89, including 72-hour reporting), UDI and EUDAMED registration, clinical evaluation as a lifecycle process and technical documentation control.

Why choose Eclevar for QMS rather than a generic consultant?

Our SOP library is written from scratch for the EU MDR, not adapted from ISO 9001; the team includes former Notified Body assessors; and QMS obligations are automatically addressed when we also manage your PMCF and CER.
