This procedure is intended to meet the requirement for a recall procedure in accordance with ISO 13485:2016, Clause 8.3.3 and 21 CFR 806.
The recall procedure is now in its fifth draft of the procedure. The recall procedure meets the requirements for clause 8.3.3 of ISO 13485:2016 and 21 CFR 806 for conducting corrections and removals of products. This updated procedure also meets the requirements for an advisory notices procedure. Matthew Walker updated the procedure to include references to the applicable ISO 13485:2016 clauses, and he added color-coding with symbols to auditors identifying where the requirements for each ISO 13485 requirement are found. The procedure also explains where the requirements for monitoring and measurement of processes can be found for each process.
