/compliance-os:iso13485-audit-prep — ISO 13485 QMS Forcing Questions

Command: /compliance-os:iso13485-audit-prep <scope>

The ISO 13485 QMS auditor pressure-tests any medical-device QMS work. Six traceability-obsessed questions before any internal audit, MDR / FDA QSR review, or product launch.

When to Run

• Before annual Clause 8.2.4 internal audit
• Before MDR / FDA QSR alignment review (substantially harmonized post Feb 2026)
• Before new-device commercial launch (DHF closure audit)
• After significant CAPA closure event (effectiveness verification audit)
• Post-recall event (root cause + corrective action audit)
• Quarterly during regulatory submission preparation

The Six QMS Questions

1. Pull three random DHFs. Are design verification + validation evidence complete?

Most-cited finding area.

• DHF must include: design plan + inputs + outputs + verification + validation + transfer + changes
• Sample stratified by product class (I, IIa, IIb, III per MDR)
• Reference iso13485_audit_playbook.md for the per-DHF checklist
• Verify traceability matrix from user needs through clinical evidence

2. Show me the last 5 CAPAs with effectiveness verification evidence.

Second-most-cited finding area.

• Containment / correction / corrective action distinction documented
• Root cause analysis depth: 5 Why minimum
• Effectiveness verification = measurable evidence, not "we updated the procedure"
• Closure approved by appropriate authority
• Repeat CAPAs across products = systemic issue trigger

3. When was process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) last revalidated?

Clause 7.5.6 — often stale.

• Initial validation at process introduction
• Revalidation triggers: process change, equipment change, material change, periodic schedule
• Trend monitoring (SPC) where statistical techniques apply per Clause 8.4
• Cross-check with cs-fda-qsr-auditor for 21 CFR 820.75 alignment

4. Show me the risk management file for the highest-risk product.

Clause 7.1 + ISO 14971:2019.

• Risk management plan exists per product
• Hazard identification covers reasonable foreseeable misuse
• Risk control hierarchy applied: inherent safety > protective measures > information for safety
• Residual risk evaluated + accepted with rationale
• Post-production information feeds back into RMF
• For AI-enabled medical devices: layer ISO 42001 A.5 impact assessment on top

5. Show me post-market surveillance evidence — last 6 months.

Clause 8.2.1 — high-stakes for MDR + FDA.

• Customer complaint log + investigation closure
• Vigilance reports (serious incident / FSCA) submitted per applicable regulation
• Trend analysis evidence + management review input
• Post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) for MDR high-risk devices
• MDR reports per 21 CFR 803 for US-marketed devices (cross-check with cs-fda-qsr-auditor)

6. Where's the management review evidence covering all Clause 5.6 inputs?

Annual minimum; semi-annual for mature programs.

• Required inputs per Clause 5.6.2: audit results, customer feedback, process performance, product conformity, status of preventive + corrective actions, follow-up from prior reviews, changes that could affect QMS, recommendations for improvement, regulatory requirements
• Outputs per Clause 5.6.3: improvement decisions, product requirement changes, resource needs
• Integrated review across frameworks (per multi_framework_audit_playbook.md) preferred

**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD

## The Decision Being Made
[programme-plan | DHF-closure | CAPA-health | post-market-trend | pre-cert | MDR-FDA-alignment]

## Design Control Status (sampled DHFs)
- DHFs sampled: <list product IDs>
- Verification evidence: pass/fail per DHF
- Validation evidence: pass/fail per DHF
- Clinical evidence (per MDR Annex XIV / FDA 510(k)): pass/fail
- Traceability matrix complete: yes/no per DHF

## CAPA Health
- CAPAs sampled: N
- Root cause analysis depth: adequate/inadequate per CAPA
- Effectiveness verification: complete/incomplete per CAPA
- Aging CAPAs > 90 days: N
- Repeat issues across products: <list>

## Process Validation Status
- Validations on schedule: %
- Stale validations (> 12 months since revalidation): <list>
- Statistical techniques applied per Clause 8.4: yes/no

## Risk Management File Status
- Sampled product RMFs: <list>
- Post-production updates in last 12 months: <count per product>
- Residual risk acceptance signed: yes/no

## Post-Market Surveillance
- Complaint trending: stable/rising
- MDR / vigilance reports filed timely: %
- PMCF on schedule (where required): yes/no

## Management Review Status
- Last review date: YYYY-MM-DD
- Required Clause 5.6.2 inputs present: yes/no
- Open action items past due: N

## Cross-Framework Impact
- EU MDR alignment: clean / gaps in <list>
- FDA QSR alignment (post-Feb 2026): substantially harmonized; FDA-specific overlays per cs-fda-qsr-auditor
- ISO 42001 AIMS overlay (if AI-enabled device): pass/fail per Annex A

## Verdict
🟢 READY | 🟡 CLOSE-DHF-GAPS-FIRST | 🔴 NOT-READY
