01 / Quality & Regulatory

Medical Device Quality & Regulatory

Cordica supports regulated medical-device programs through ISO-certified quality systems, FDA-registered operations where applicable, controlled manufacturing environments, and quality expertise throughout development, production, and post-market surveillance.

02 / Quality Scope

Quality should shape the process, not simply inspect the result.

Medical-device programs require product and process requirements to translate into controlled manufacturing methods that can be repeated throughout production.

The specific requirements, certifications, registrations/licenses, and controls depend on risk factors, facility, product, activity, and market involved.

Active scope / Quality Management

Quality system

QMSR – Quality Management Systems Regulation (21 CFR 820) Compliant

Cordica Medical’s Quality Management System aligns with U.S. requirements and foreign equivalents where applicable, to ensure product safety and performance for the patients we serve.

04 / Controlled Environments

Match the environment to the requirements of the device.

Cordica’s manufacturing platform includes ISO Class 7 and ISO Class 8 cleanroom capabilities within applicable operations, as well as UV-, temperature-, and humidity-controlled environments where applicable.

ISO Class 7

Available within applicable Cordica operations and development programs.

ISO Class 8

Supports applicable manufacturing, molding, catheter, assembly, and other medical-device activities across parts of the Cordica platform.

Availability and classification vary by location and manufacturing process.

05 / Development + Manufacturing Quality

Connect development controls with repeatable production.

Depending on the program, quality and regulatory engineering can operate alongside product engineering, process development, inspection, testing, validation, and manufacturing preparation.

01

Visual & Optical Inspection

Use of vision and optical inspection systems where appropriate to verify product quality and monitor manufacturing processes.

02

Functional Testing

Integrate device or assembly testing where the program requires functional confirmation during manufacturing.

03

Process Controls

Develop manufacturing controls to reduce variation and provide action limits around Critical to Quality (CTQ) attributes that are most important to maintaining consistent product quality.

04

Automation

Integrate inspection and process control into automated manufacturing processes, where the program supports it.
