The starting point

The standard tells you what to do. Not in what order, or where you stand.

ISO 13485:2016 structures your medical device quality management system across its clauses. Without a method you work blind and discover the gaps on audit day. This checklist replaces the improvised spreadsheet with a control tool that tells you, at any moment, what is in place and what is left to do.

What you get

Exactly what’s inside

File structure

Four tabs that work together

1

Dashboard

Overall conformity rate, number of open gaps, breakdown by status. Everything updates as you fill in the checklist.

2

Detailed checklist

One row per requirement: the point to check, the expected evidence, the owner and a status drop-down.

3

Summary

Charts generated from your entries: score by clause and status breakdown, ready to present to management.

4

Action plan

Each gap becomes a dated, assigned action, tracked to closure and ready for your audit.

Free vs complete

What the free list doesn’t give you

A free requirements list tells you what the standard asks. This checklist turns it into a working control tool.

How it works

Three steps, from where you are to done

Step 1

You assess

You walk the standard requirement by requirement and pinpoint exactly where you stand. The dashboard quantifies the gap to close.

Step 2

You plan

Each nonconformity becomes an assigned, dated action. You get a roadmap, not a wish list.

Step 3

You document

Once the gaps are identified, the documentation kit provides the ready-to-use documents to close them.

Assessment → Action plan → Documentation → Conformity

FAQ

What to know before you buy

Does this checklist replace the ISO 13485 documentation kit?
No. The checklist diagnoses your gaps and structures your action plan. To provide the documents that close those gaps, the ISO 13485 documentation kit takes over.
What format is the checklist delivered in?
An Excel (.xlsx) file, downloadable immediately after purchase. It works offline; you keep it and reuse it as often as you need.
Does the conformity score calculate itself?
Yes. You pick a status per requirement from a drop-down, and the dashboard and charts update automatically.
Which version is it built on?
The version in force, ISO 13485:2016, shown on the cover.
How is this different from a free requirements list?
A free list just enumerates the requirements. The implementation checklist adds the detail per requirement, automatic scoring, the dashboard, the charts and a corrective action plan.
