Control of suppliers is a key focus of ISO 13485:2016 (clause 7.4) and a regulatory requirement for medical device companies in all jurisdictions. Without regular evaluation of supplier performance, manufacturers may risk receiving non-conforming products (e.g. raw materials, or product key-components) and services (such as sterilisation, or out-sourced manufacture). Our auditors, find that majority of product issues stem from poor oversight of key suppliers.
