Control Requirements

What's FDA Design Control?
Design controls are defined as an interrelated set of practices and procedures 
incorporated into the design and development process. FDA design controls make a 
methodical assessment of the design an integral part of development. With design 
control, any scarcities in design input requirements or disagreement between the 
proposed designs and requirements are detected beforehand and corrected 
immediately in the development process. Design controls intend to increase the 
chances of transferring the design to product, without much difference, into a device 
suited for its intended use.
Design control isn't a new conception, or indeed a new requirement, but a 
longstanding tradition in medical device manufacturing. Since 1990, the FDA has 
demanded medical device manufacturers misbehave with the criteria outlined in 21 
CFR820.30. These requirements aim to insure medical devices retailed in theU.S. 
match applicable standards and address the needs of cases and other users.
The Benefits of Effective Design Control.
The benefits of effective design control impact manufacturers as well as 
cases. Robust design control improves product safety, performance, and 
overall product quality. Process effectiveness shortens cycle times by 
providing quick access to crucial tasks and approvals. A guided- yet-flexible 
workflow improves the end- to- end process and provides control and 
consistent execution of tasks without duplicating effort. 
Effective design control also enables manufacturers to avoid potential 
compliance issues because all records, frompre-market design topost-
market data collection and design change, arecross-referenced in one 
integrated system. Manufacturers can demonstrate that a controlled and 
documented process is in place and has been executed properly.
Eventually, effective design control ensures all design, quality, and 
nonsupervisory data is examination ready. This factor eases the burden on 
manufacturers when preparing for checkups and helps reduce errors and 
inspection findings. 
What Are FDA Design Controls for Medical Devices?
The design control process follows a set of practices and procedures that help 
medical product developers 
Manage quality.
1. Manage quality.
2. Ensure each product meets all requirements.
3. Prevent potential issues or recalls in the future.
FDA Design Controls
Design controls for medical devices are regulated by the FDA under 21 
CFR820.30. They must be enforced by manufacturers of class II or III medical 
devices( and some class I devices).
