Presentation of the certification

What are the guiding principles behind MDSAP?

MDSAP is a voluntary program that is mandatory in Canada since January 1st 2019 for all Class II, III and IV medical devices (MD). A medical device manufacturer is eligible to call upon the services of a recognized "auditing organization" (AO) to proceed with an evaluation of its Quality Management System (QMS).

GMED has been authorized to conduct MDSAP audits. The certification contract is associated with a 3-year cycle.
During each audit, the conformity of the company's quality management system with requirements stipulated under 5 regulations is assessed. The program's cornerstone is the "audit model", i.e. a document that serves to guide the auditing procedure. Nothing prevents this document from being used to actually develop the QMS, since it introduces a specific audit protocol and step-by-step approach to calculating audit time intervals.

Audit reports are submitted to the 5 regulatory authorities for use within the process of managing certification applications. Each country retains sovereignty and establishes how the program may be assimilated into its own regulatory framework.
