Abstract
CDG Biotech Corporation, a new biotechnology startup, plans to introduce medical devices for use in immunological diagnostics and therapies. CDG seeks to develop and implement a quality manual as part of their quality management system and to gain accreditation approval domestically and internationally. This project attempts to develop a customized quality manual based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO 13485:2016) standards utilizing quality management and technical project management concepts and tools. The main goal of the project is to provide a quality manual for medical devices with an emphasis on section 4: Quality Management System and section 5: Management Responsibility of the ISO standard. The quality manual and the quality management and project management tools/concepts provide a basic framework of the broader quality management system. The level of detail, depth, and outcome is limited by the time, cost, and external factors of business, regulatory, and international factors.
