Design & Development

Walk through design projects and the full design control lifecycle in MoniDoseQMS — from design input and output to verification, validation, transfer, change control, and labeling, all aligned with FDA 21 CFR 820.30, EU MDR, ISO 13485, and IEC 62304.

When you have a product, you need design control. MoniDoseQMS gives you a structured design and development lifecycle — from initial concept through to manufacturing transfer — so your regulatory pathway is built in from the start.

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Create a design project

    Define the project type (new product development, design change, product redesign, platform development, technology transfer), classification, team, timeline, and regulatory requirements.

  2. 2

    Project dashboard

    See project ID, name, product, phase, status, progress, and start date. Search and filter across all your design projects.

  3. 3

    Design phases & best practices

    Plan concept development, design development, verification, and validation. Built-in best practices: define your project clearly, establish the regulatory pathway up front, and set realistic timelines.

  4. 4

    Regulatory references

    Aligned with FDA 21 CFR 820.30 (Design Controls), EU MDR Article 10, ISO 13485, ISO 14971 (Risk Management), and IEC 62304 (Medical Device Software).

  5. 5

    Design input

    Document what your product needs to achieve — requirements, specifications, and user needs. Select the project, add a custom ID, and link to supporting documents.

  6. 6

    Design output

    Record the results of your design work. The output must satisfy the input requirements — this traceability is built into the workflow.

  7. 7

    Design verification

    Verify that the output meets the input. If they don't match, there's a problem to fix. Assign team members to review and create tasks for follow-up.

  8. 8

    Design validation

    Confirm the final product meets user needs and intended use. Compatible with MDR and FDA requirements.

  9. 9

    Design transfer, changes & labeling

    Transfer to manufacturing, track any design changes through change control, and manage labeling and instructions — the seven steps of the design lifecycle, all in one place.

Document Management Hub

A deep dive into the Document Management Hub — create controlled documents, link them across modules, route them through review and approval, sign with 21 CFR Part 11 e-signatures, and archive records for the long term, all inside MoniDoseQMS.

Change Control

Walk through MoniDoseQMS's change control module — create change requests, set priority and type, link to any QMS module, run impact assessments, attach documents, and manage the full review and approval workflow.

Deviations, CAPA & Preventive Actions

Walk through deviations, non-conformance reports, CAPA management, preventive actions, notes, and the records archive — the full corrective-and-preventive workflow inside MoniDoseQMS.

Risk Management

Walk through MoniDoseQMS's risk management module — create risk assessments based on ISO 14971, score probability and severity, apply control measures, and track residual risk with full traceability.

SOP & ISO Template Library

Browse the built-in SOP and ISO template library in MoniDoseQMS — start from hundreds of pre-written, standards-aligned templates instead of a blank page, then customise and route them through document control.
