ISO 13485 Audit Readiness Checklist

Audit readiness requires more than approved procedures: current, traceable records must demonstrate that processes are implemented effectively.

Areas to review

Scope and process interaction

Define the QMS scope, justified exclusions, process owners, inputs, outputs, performance indicators and interactions.

Document and record control

Ensure current documents are approved and accessible, obsolete versions are controlled, and records remain complete, legible and retrievable.

Management responsibility and competence

Review measurable quality objectives, management-review inputs, role-specific competence requirements, training records and effectiveness checks.

Supplier, production and design controls

Confirm risk-based supplier controls, process validations, traceability and—where applicable—complete design and development records.

Complaints, vigilance, CAPA and audits

Verify timely complaint assessment, reportability decisions, root-cause analysis, effectiveness checks and closure of internal-audit findings.

Audit rehearsal: Trace one device record end-to-end—from purchasing and release through complaints, CAPA, design and risk management.
