The Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is the process put in place by the European Union with the objective of creating a modern and robust legal framework for medical devices with a high level of patient safety and health protection. Over the past two years, seca has set up an extensive business project in order to implement these rules. “As a global company we are present in many different markets. We are thus subject to global standards that we are obliged to follow throughout the entire development and manufacturing process and must reflect in our quality management system,” says Mark Sonnenkalb, Head of Quality Services at seca. “This has enabled us to react swiftly and in a focused manner to the new EU regulation and therefore, we have integrated it successfully into our processes.”
In addition to MDR certification, seca has also met the requirements of the MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program). This program defines a common standard for regulatory quality management audits at medical device manufacturers and satisfies the national requirements of the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and Brazil.
