When you scale your Design Controls appropriately to the complexity and size of your company, it makes it easier to manage the scope of everyday work needed to keep your files current. Things to remember when scaling your Design History Files (DHF):

 

  • One size does not fit all
  • All classes of devices need design controls
  • The process is scaled based on the complexity of the device and the size of the company
  • Don’t wait for the regulators to identify any gaps

 

Also, identifying your gaps up front, closing them upon identification, then wrapping them into your entire DHF process with your team or with a third-party consultant like RCA helps ensure you have a rock-solid DHF and that you will be prepared when the regulators ask questions.
