Description
- Change name: QMS restructuring for MDR transition and Technical File version 1.1.0.0
- Change description: Major restructuring of the Quality Management System to comply with MDR 2017/745 requirements and to support the Technical File for Legit.Health Plus version 1.1.0.0. This restructuring includes creation of new procedures, reassignment of procedure codes, substantial rewriting of existing procedures, and simplification of others as part of continuous improvement.
- Source of change: Regulatory change (MDR 2017/745 transition) and Technical File requirements for Legit.Health Plus v1.1.0.0.
Summary of changes
The document responsibility matrix was reorganised from 9 groups to 14 groups, and all documents were re-signed accordingly.
Additionally, nine general procedures have undergone major (substantive) changes. The substantive changes fall into four categories:
- New procedures created to cover areas required by the expanded technical file (GP-028, GP-029, GP-030).
- Reassigned procedures: GP codes whose topic was replaced to better organise the QMS (GP-024, GP-025).
- Major restructuring of three existing procedures to reflect expanded scope and improve separation of concerns (GP-012, GP-013, GP-023).
- Simplification of existing procedures as continuous improvement (GP-002, GP-005).
Impact analysis
- Regulatory impact: is the change classified as significant?
- Yes (it requires notification to Regulatory Authorities): BSI (Notified Body) notified as part of MDR certification process.
- No (it does not require notification to Regulatory Authorities)
- Risk analysis impact: Risk management documentation updated to comply with ISO 14971:2019, IEC 62304, and IEC 62366-1 under a unified framework. Risk-benefit analysis enhanced according to MDR requirements. Cybersecurity risk management absorbed into GP-013.
- Quality documentation impact: See detailed changes below.
