The ultimate responsibility and success of a medical device company’s quality management system lies with executive management. It is not the sole responsibility of the quality manager or quality department. Executive management should ensure that the business strategy and quality objectives are aligned with the overarching quality policy. When establishing the overall business policies related to topics such as marketing, sales, product development; the quality policy align and be consistent with these business objectives. The quality policy should be effectively communicated, understood by all members of the organization, and reviewed on a regular basis to ensure its continuing applicability and effectiveness to meet customer and regulatory requirements.
