By: TÜV NORD CERT GmbH

11.18.2019

Topic: Medical

 

In response to the transition from MDD 93/42/EEC to MDR EU 2017/745, TÜV NORD CERT GmbH has developed the MEDPRO system. With MEDPRO, TÜV NORD Cert GmbH offers its customers and auditors worldwide an innovative, web-based audit tool for the simple and joint processing of audits - from audit planning to certificate release.

Available standards in MEDPRO

Currently, MEDPRO can be used to support audit and certification activities for ISO 9001:2015, EN ISO 13485:2016, MDSAP, MDD 93/42 EEC, and (in future) MDR EU 2017/745. Additional standards will be integrated moving forward.

 

MEDPRO includes a variety of features that greatly simplify the exchange of certification related information involving customers, auditors, and our project management team. An overview is provided below, showing the process steps the auditor and project manager will communicate with the customer via MEDPRO in order to jointly prepare, execute and post-process the audit activities:

Audit preparation (customer information, updates, etc.)

Advantages, at a glance

  • Ability to coordinate and process the audit schedule and action plans with your auditor
  • Storage of your data exclusively on TÜV NORD Group owned and certified data systems
  • Protection of your data with SSL encryption
