At Operon Strategist, we specialize in comprehensive MDSAP certification consulting. Our end-to-end services guide medical device companies in achieving MDSAP compliance, aligning with ISO 13485 standards, and unlocking access to key international markets with efficiency and confidence.

What Is the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP)?

The Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) provides medical device manufacturers with a unified audit process to meet regulatory quality management system requirements across multiple countries. Through one standardized audit, MDSAP evaluates compliance with ISO 13485 as well as the specific regulatory frameworks of participating authorities, including:

  • United States – FDA Quality System Regulation (21 CFR Part 820)
  • Canada – Health Canada Medical Device Regulations
  • Brazil – ANVISA requirements
  • Australia – Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)

  • Japan – MHLW / PMDA regulatory standards

By achieving MDSAP certification, manufacturers can significantly reduce duplicate audits, minimize regulatory complexity, and accelerate their path to market.
