Management Responsibility
RDC 752/2022 requires top management of medical device manufacturers to demonstrate commitment to the quality management system. Key management responsibility requirements include:
- Establishing and communicating the quality policy to all employees;
- Defining the organizational structure and responsibilities;
- Appointing a management representative for the QMS;
- Conducting management reviews at planned intervals;
- Ensuring adequate resources (personnel, infrastructure, work environment) are provided;
- Establishing quality objectives that are measurable and aligned with the quality policy; and
- Ensuring customer requirements are understood and met.
The Responsável Técnico (RT) often serves as the management representative for the QMS, but top management remains accountable.
