What is it?
Importers and wholesalers dealing with medical devices in Singapore should develop a Quality Management System (QMS) that conforms to the requirements of the Good Distribution Practice for Medical Devices (GDPMDs). GDPMDs ensures that companies dealing with medical devices have quality management systems in place to maintain devices quality throughout the distribution process.
In order to comply with these requirements, a highly articulated process must be established to ensure the medical device safety and performance is not compromised during the importation, storage and distribution of medical devices. This would involve drafting specific clear and unambiguous procedures, training qualified personnel, maintaining the right infrastructure and ensuring the processes are well-planned and implemented.
