Overview

The 2024 revision of FDA 21 CFR Part 820 marks a major shift in medical device quality system requirements, aligning more closely with ISO 13485:2016 through the new Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR). Understanding these changes is essential for maintaining compliance and avoiding costly delays as the 2026 enforcement deadline approaches.

QMSR applies to all FDA-regulated medical device manufacturers and introduces key updates that impact quality planning, documentation, audits, and risk management. It also reinforces the role of programs like MDSAP in supporting FDA compliance efforts.
