Understanding MedQdoc

Read our blog for key considerations when implementing ISO 13485Who are typical MedQdoc customers?
MedQdoc is suitable for all organisations operating within the medical device industry. MedQdoc is ideal for companies of all sizes, from small start-ups just launching their first product, to global organisations with a vast medical device portfolio. Our users have all kinds of products, but the one thing they all have in common is their relationship with medical devices.
How long does it take to get ISO13485 certified utilising MedQdoc?
Every company and medical device is different, so the exact timeline to certification depends on where you are as an organisation. However, to give you an approximate guide, our customers have taken anything from 4 months to 18 months to achieve certification.
How difficult is it to move from a paper-based QMS system to the MedQdoc eQMS?
Moving from a paper-based system to an eQMS is a common process, and one we are used to managing. We have processes in place to guide you through this journey and we are happy to share them with you. Many of our customers have found it surprisingly straightforward to make the shift and wish they’d done it years ago!
