Domestic or foreign manufacturers of dental appliances are required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to have "a quality system for the design, manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, installation, and servicing of finished medical devices intended for commercial distribution in the United States." Refer to http://www.fda.gov/ , Title 21, Part 820 for the regulation in its entirety. The federal regulation, Title 21, Part 820 requires: that various specifications and controls be established for devices; that devices be designed under a quality system to meet these specifications; that devices be manufactured under a quality system; that finished devices meet these specifications; that devices be correctly installed, checked and serviced; that quality data be analyzed to identify and correct quality problems; and, that complaints be processed.
Specifically your Quality System should address the following:
