Reacting to an Audit or Inspection

Powerful Mock MDR/IVDR Audits

RQM+ former notified body leaders helped write the requirements and have implemented them at the largest notified bodies. Our clients have saved months and even years to certification by engaging RQM+ in mock audits. There is no more efficient way to get to MDR/IVDR certification than by partnering with RQM+.
