Enter your next external audit with confidence and peace of mind

From now on, you'll know exactly what to do: Leverage our expertise for auditing in the field of medical devices

Are you stuck when it comes to auditing your regulatory compliance or your management systems? Do you feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the tasks, do you simply lack the time, or are you struggling to convince your colleagues or superiors of the necessity of certain processes?

The implementation and maintenance of documents and management systems can be challenging – especially when this could lead to negative consequences such as non-conformities in external audits, which could even result in the loss of your certification.

Optimal preparation through internal ISO audits and precisely tailored audit plans

Conducting system audits

We review your entire (management) system and the associated specification documents as part of an internal or mock audit. In doing so, we proceed according to the processes you specify.

Process, procedure or supplier audits

We review your compliance in the form of a procedure or process audit. We are also happy to conduct an audit of your suppliers.

Preparation of audit plans

We provide you with tailor-made audit plans based on your internal audit criteria.

Writing and reviewing audit reports

We provide you with templates for audit reports, help you write them, or review your reports as part of a gap analysis.

Comprehensive audit programmes for optimal business processes

Our tailor-made audits offer much more than standard-compliant evaluations. They are a tool for increasing the efficiency and compliance of your business processes. Whether management system audits, regulatory compliance, specific national requirements or technical standards – we offer you a detailed review and suggestions for improvement by experienced auditors with industry-specific expertise.

Management system audits – putting your processes to the test

Audits of management systems are the yardstick for measuring the maturity of your organisation. Whether it's an internal audit, supplier audit or certification audit, we not only check against the standard, but also identify potential improvements that will help your company move forward

We audit management systems according to the following standards

  • ISO 13485 – Quality management systems for medical devices
  • ISO 9001 – General quality management systems
  • ISO 27001 – Information security management systems
  • ISO 15189 – Medical laboratories
  • ISO 42001 – AI management systems (in preparation)

Our certified auditors have years of experience from notified bodies and certification organisations. We know both sides of the audit table and know what matters. With us, you receive objective assessments, constructive feedback and concrete recommendations for action – not theoretical lists of deficiencies.

Regulatory compliance audits – legal certainty through expert assessment

Regulatory audits are high-risk situations. An MDR audit by the notified body, an FDA inspection or a routine audit by the authorities – the outcome determines market access and the continued existence of the company.

We audit according to the following regulatory requirements

  • MDR – Medical Device Regulation
  • IVDR – In-vitro Diagnostic Regulation
  • IVDR laboratories (Art. 5(5), GSPR)
  • MDSAP – Medical Device Single Audit Programme
  • FDA 21 CFR Part 820 / FDA QMSR

Our regulatory auditors specialise in the critical assessment of your compliance. We conduct audits that are more rigorous than those carried out by the authorities – so that you are fully prepared. Thanks to our international auditing experience, we are fully aware of the expectations of various regulatory authorities and notified bodies.

Audits of national requirements – Focus on country-specific compliance

National regulations are often underestimated – until the audit. Our country experts audit your local compliance with the detailed knowledge that only insiders have. We not only check documents, but also the practical implementation of national specifics.

We audit according to the following national requirements

  • Rili-BÄK – German Medical Association guidelines
  • MPBetreibV – Medical Devices Operator Ordinance

From reviewing your safety officer structure in accordance with MPGD to evaluating your vigilance processes in accordance with national implementations, our audits uncover the gaps that international auditors often overlook. We also take into account regional interpretations by authorities and unwritten expectations.

Audit of technical standards – objective assessment of compliance with standards

Technical audits require specialist knowledge. Our specialist auditors are not only standards experts, but also experienced engineers who understand the technical background. We check the application of technical standards where it matters: in development, production and in the testing laboratory.

We audit according to the following technical standards

  • IEC 62304 – Software life cycle process
  • IEC 60601 – Design verification
  • IEC 62366 – Usability processes

We audit on an equal footing with your technical teams. In doing so, we identify not only deviations from standards, but also risks and potential for optimisation in your technical processes.
