Two widely recognized frameworks\u2014MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) and ISO 13485\u2014play a crucial role in demonstrating compliance with quality management system standards. While both aim to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical devices, they are not the same. Understanding the key differences between MDSAP and ISO 13485 can help manufacturers choose the right pathway for compliance, market access, and regulatory success.<\/span><\/p><p><span
