Clause-by-clause ISO 13485 documentation audits

Aligntra reads your procedures against ISO 13485:2016, and your CAPA and NCR records against the procedures that govern them. Each nonconformity cites the document, page and paragraph. Your auditors keep the verdict.

What Aligntra does against this standard

It reviews the documentation half of an ISO 13485 audit, exhaustively.

01

Reads the mapped documents

Procedures, records, DHF contents and supplier documents are each classified to the obligations they serve, then reviewed against all of them.

02

Cites to the paragraph

Findings name the obligation, the file, the page and the passage, and opens the source at that passage so your auditor can verify it in seconds.

03

Leaves the verdict to a person

Findings arrive unreviewed. Your auditor confirms, dismisses or reclassifies each one, and the record keeps both the citation and the decision.

A real finding

What a 13485 nonconformity looks like

This finding comes from the published example QMS, a quality system you can open and check yourself. Our check sits on the left, the procedure on the right.

What Aligntra checked for

Whether the procedure documents acceptance criteria and a sample-size rationale for design verification, as §7.3.6 requires.

ISO 13485:2016 · §7.3.6 — our check, stated in our words

What the procedure says

“The project team shall determine the scope and methods of testing based on the nature of the design. Test results shall be documented and reviewed.”

Minor NC The procedure covers scope, methods and documentation of results. It does not address acceptance criteria or sample-size rationale, so the obligation is only partly met.
