RCM Technologies helped a medical device client implement an electronic medical device reporting (eMDR) system within their existing TrackWise quality management system (QMS). This involved upgrading complaint forms to comply with eMDR standards, configuring TrackWise to allow for electronic submission to the FDA, and validating the new system. The project was completed on time and on budget, reducing costs associated with medical device reporting and ensuring all reports were submitted in compliance with regulations.

How to Implement and Maintain an Audit-Ready QMS Leveraging TechnologyGreenlight Guru
Despite ever-changing and increasingly complex medical device regulations, many companies have built their compliance systems on risky paper-based quality systems or legacy, general-purpose software not built for med device. You can do better.
Inefficient systems increase your risk of noncompliance and increase your development time. That translates into missed sales opportunities and patients waiting longer for your new medical technologies.
So we’ll show you a modern, purpose-built software that ensures compliance with all the latest regulations to free up your engineers’ time, reduce risk, time to market, and help you pass audits with flying colors.
• Step-by-step instructions on how to implement and maintain an audit-ready QMS leveraging Jon’s S.M.A.R.T. quality management philosophy
• How to accelerate product development efforts — from napkin idea to 510(k) clearance to market release months or years quicker
• How to manage risk to drive the safety and quality of products and processes through QMS per ISO 13485:2016 & 21 CFR Part 820
• How to change their company’s focus from simply meeting regulations to building quality into their processes as a differentiator
• How to understand and stay ahead of the FDA and EU changing quality regulations as leaders instead of followers
This session took place live at the Greenlight Guru True Quality Virtual Summit, a three-day event for medical device professionals to learn to get their devices to market faster, stay ahead of regulatory changes, and use quality as their multiplier to grow their device business.

2. Quality Management System
Workflows, tracking and reporting.
L if e S cienc e S olutions
While every company needs to be concerned about quality, nowhere is it more
important than in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotechnologies, CROs and other
highly regulated industries. These companies not only abide by strict internal quality
management standards, but they must also comply with a myriad of rules mandated by
regulatory agencies. By centralizing workflow management, consolidating tracking and
streamlining regulatory reporting, companies are strategically positioned to identify and
manage quality compliance issues across critical business processes.
What is a Quality Management System?
While quality itself is evident in the product you produce, what defines it from a tracking and trending perspective can be subjective. Most
would agree that at the core of every quality system – and every quality program – is Documentation and Documentation Management.
Additionally, CAPA, Deviations/Non-Conformances, Investigation, Audits, Complaints, as well as related processes, are also incorporated.
What companies choose to put in their quality management system is as varied as the number of vendors that provide the capabilities.
Why do you need a Quality Management System?
The U.S. FDA, the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and regulatory bodies worldwide expect life science organizations to
eliminate fragmented data silos and create a continuous, documented process for managing research, development, distribution
and post-market events. Implementing an integrated quality management system not only meets regulatory expectations, it also
provides a structured framework that proactively monitors global compliance, reduces risk and lowers the total cost of quality.
