INTRODUCTION

The Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) was the initiative from the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF). Developed to enhance the auditing and monitoring approach of medical devices manufacturing globally, MDSAP went through a 3-year pilot project from 1st January 2014 until 31st December 2016 and became a full program from 1st January 2017.

There are currently 5 MDSAP members and they are:

1. Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia
2. Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA)
3. Health Canada (HC)
4. Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (MHLW/PMDA)
5. US. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

The MDSAP requirements are developed based on the 5 MDSAP members’ country’s regulated policies for medical devices with ISO 13485 Quality Management System requirements as the basis. MDSAP certification audit is performed by approved and authorized Auditing Organizations (AO) and the MDSAP certification is on a 3-year cycle.
