21 CFR 820 applies to manufacturers of finished medical devices sold in the United States. This includes imported products. Only parts of the requirement may apply, depending on the class. WCH specializes in helping organizations meet the requirements of Parts 210 and 211. 21 CFR 820 can be integrated with ISO 13485, if desired.
Part 210 - Current Good Manufacturing Practice in Manufacturing, Processing,
Packing, or Holding of Drugs
Part 211 - Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Finished Pharmaceuticals

cGMP Procedure Development
Drafting the first version of flowcharts for all required processes (usually between 10 & 20), and ensuring the company can issue procedures to the system. Procedures will be developed in flowchart format using Microsoft Word. Where possible, the company’s existing documentation will be used and / or modified as necessary.
A meeting with the appropriate employees will be scheduled to draft the procedure or process. A second meeting may be held after each participant has had an opportunity to review the draft version. Changes required will be incorporated into the procedure or process before final review and approval.

On an as needed basis the WCH consultant will observe procedure steps and tasks, provide suggestions, and answer questions to ensure procedural documentation and corresponding actions taken by employees are mirror images.

WCH will provide all employees with a basic overview of the system, the Standard requirements, their responsibilities and what to expect when the registrar conducts the Registration Audit.
