What To Know
Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification and Performance Qualification, or IQ/OQ/PQ, are the ISO 13485 basis by which you prove that the manufacturing equipment and systems for your medical device will perform as intended. IQ/OQ and PQ protocols also ensure that your manufacturing partners adhere to cGMPs.
IQ proves the process (or equipment), demonstrating that the equipment is installed correctly and shows operational consistency.
OQ documents objective evidence that all equipment functions in alignment with manufacturer specifications.
PQ confirms the performance of equipment used in the manufacturing process can maintain outputs within established tolerances.
