ISO 9001 - ISO 13485 - CEAn overall desire for continuous improvement
In 2014, Evolucare implemented a Quality Management System compliant with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards. The purpose of this initiative is to define an internal organization for the company in order to streamline operations, continuously improve client satisfaction and meet regulatory requirements such as CE marking. These different reference systems are constantly changing.
Consequently, this continuous improvement approach is now being supplemented by action plans aimed at compliance with the new European regulation for medical devices.
“The Quality team works with all the department managers on all the group’s processes, from sales to customer service, including purchasing and production.”
Morgane le Guilcher,
Director of Quality – Safety – Environment
New European regulation
The new European regulation, called MDR 745/2017, is a major change.
Indeed, CE marking was based on the European directive 93/42/EEC, applicable since 1993 and transposed into the legislation of each European country. This directive has now been replaced by a mandatory European regulation effective as of May 26, 2021. It is stricter and more comprehensive than the directive.
Our Quality team is working to adapt our QMS accordingly, to prepare the marking of our products based on this new regulation and to guarantee our clients the safety of our products by reinforcing the post-marketing supervision of software dedicated to the monitoring of clinical performance, as required by the MDR.
“Our risk management method has been enhanced as a result of the new regulation, which places special emphasis on benefit/risk analysis.”
Sébastien Decaix, Quality Production Project Manager
Cybersecurity – HDS – ISO27001
Data protection and privacy, compliance with the GDPR… the healthcare sector is one of the most sensitive when it comes to these issues.
Healthcare Data hosting and 27001 certifications (for the suitable products), “security by design”, intrusion tests by independent auditors, Disaster Recovery Plan: to ensure the safety of patients and your establishments, data confidentiality and service continuity, Evolucare devotes constant efforts to protecting your solutions against malicious or accidental disasters.
The international ISO 27001 standard forms the basis of the french HDS (Health Data Hosting) certification reference framework.
We set up automated vulnerability tests, using tools integrated into the IS, plus an intrusion test campaign on software, carried out in collaboration with a specialist ANSSI*-certified company. Together with our maintenance teams, we emphasise good practice and respect for the protection of personal data when working with customers.
