The video provided below explains what is included when you purchase our standard operating procedures (SOPs) for ISO 13485:2016.
Do you need Standard Operating Procedures?
Our turnkey quality management system for compliance with ISO 13485:2016 includes all of the standard operating procedures (SOPs) required by the standard and 21 CFR 820, 21 CFR 803, and 21 CFR 806 for the FDA. It also includes procedures for Canadian Medical Device Licensing and European CE Marking. In total, we have 46+ procedures (listed below). The standard operating procedures (SOPs) also have associated forms, logs, and templates. We also completed updates to our procedures for Regulation (EU) 2017/745.
If your company is only interested in compliance with the US Market (i.e., 21 CFR 820, 21 CFR 803, 21 CFR 806, 21 CFR 830 for the FDA), we offer a turnkey quality system for the US-only market at a reduced price of $6,000. The US-only turnkey quality system does not include the seven procedures identified below as “Global”. There are additional pricing options and configurations of the turnkey quality system described at the end of the work instruction that you can view when you click on the button below. However, please remember that “turnkey” does not mean “work-free“. It takes approximately 100-120 hours to implement a medical device quality system and after you implement the quality system it will take at least 4-8 hours per week to maintain the quality system for even the smallest start-up with most processes outsourced.
If you spend more than $875 on procedures, please use the discount code “Twenty” to receive a 20% discount on the total order. For our turnkey quality system, the discount only applies to the initial payment. In addition to procedures, forms, log sheets, and templates, the quality management system includes an initial draft of your new quality. These documents require customization to fit your operations, such as the identification of your company name and logo. The Medical Device Academy logo and [Company Name] are included within the documents as placeholders. We also provide 16 pre-recorded training webinars. We also provide exams (i.e., 10-question quizzes) to verify training effectiveness. If you submit the completed exams to us by email in the native MS Word format, we will correct the exams and email you a training certificate with your corrected exams. The list of training webinars included with our turn-key quality system is provided below:

If you are thinking about purchasing standard operating procedures (SOPs), instead of writing procedures yourself, it’s essential to understand the intent of the author that wrote the procedures. Many buyers expect to “pay by the pound.” After writing hundreds of procedures, I found that it requires more work to write a short and effective procedure than a 50-page dust collector.
If a company has a sophisticated quality management system, procedures tend to be lengthy, because each time an auditor finds a problem, another section is added to “clarify” the procedure. I try to write standard operating procedures that are concise and meet the requirements for an early-stage medical device company. Larger companies do not ask me to write many procedures. They ask me to audit procedures and to edit their procedures, but they seldom want me to start from scratch.
When Medical Device Academy writes standard operating procedures, we use a standard template for the sections. Almost everyone does this, but our template contains three unique elements:
- monitoring and measurement requirements for the process
- training and retraining requirements for personnel
- application of risk management
The video below is describing our new work instruction for how to implement the turnkey quality system. You can download the work instruction using the button above. The work instruction is specific to the Medical Device Academy team, but anyone may copy the content of this work instruction and adapt it to their quality system implementation needs. If you want a quote for the quality system, please contact Lindsey Walker directly at sales@medicaldeviceacademy.com.
There is a section of the work instruction that is specific to creating a project in Asana. The above video shows you how to copy the 15 steps of the quality system implementation from the work instruction into a spreadsheet. Then this is saved as a .csv file (download link). Finally, the video shows you how to import the .csv file into Asana so that you can create a project in Asana for tracking and managing the implementation of Medical Device Academy’s turnkey quality system. The video was specifically designed for the free version of Asana if you need to share the project in Asana with people outside of your organization or you do not have the budget for Asana’s paid version.
