ISO 13485 Quality Management Compliance Testing for Wearables

The ISO 13485 standard is specifically designed to ensure that medical device manufacturers maintain a robust quality management system (QMS). This internationally recognized standard focuses on the design, development, production, control, installation, and service of medical devices. For wearable medical devices, compliance with this standard ensures not only regulatory adherence but also enhances product reliability, safety, and effectiveness.

Wearable medical devices are a subset of digital health products that include fitness trackers, heart rate monitors, glucose meters, and other wearables designed to monitor physiological parameters or support therapeutic interventions. These devices must meet stringent requirements regarding their design, manufacturing processes, quality control measures, and post-market surveillance. Compliance with ISO 13485 helps manufacturers achieve these goals by providing a structured approach to managing the entire lifecycle of medical devices.
