Our Medical Device Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs document templates have been created by fully qualified and experienced professionals at Patient Guard, a Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Service provider. The templates have been specially written to ensure that they meet the basic requirements needed for each clause/section of the standard or regulation the templates relate to. We have carefully curated the templates to ensure they are easy to follow and adapt to make them specifically modified to your business needs. All the templates are fully editable Microsoft word documents allowing you to have complete control over the templates which can then be modified to suit your company branding/marketing requirements.

What is a Corrective Action?

• A Corrective Action is an action taken to reduce or eliminate the cause of a reported non-conformity or source of inefficiency and error within your Quality Management System and it’s associated processes.
• Corrective Actions will also aim to prevent the recurrence of the undesirable event by establishing or updating procedures.

What is a Preventative Action?

• A Preventative Action is an action taken to reduce or eliminate the chance of a non-conformity or source of inefficiency and error within your Quality Management System and it’s associated processes before it occurs or causes any harm.
• Preventative Actions are normally taken as a result of risk analysis, GAP assessment or similar process that highlights a potential inadequacy within your Quality Management System.
