    Hello,
    How do you show evidence of appointed PRRC? Do you guys write a memo or do you mention the appointment in your quality manual ect...

    Hi Bedwuine, 

    First you need to write an Appointment Letter, which will be attached to the Qualilty Manual. Then you need to mention this appointment in the QM (ch. 5) and also in the organization chart, as well as add PRRC's minimum requirements in the form regarding personnel and in the job description. 
    Following you will have to implement PRRC requirements deriving from article 15 MDR in the relevant QMS's procedures and related forms.

    Let me suggest you to follow this webinar provided by my company regarding PRRC's requirements; it lasts about 2 hours and it gives you all need in order to have a clearer vision about this.

    Good day Bedwuine,

    We placed a letter appointing the person in their personnel file along with their qualifications and indicated it in their training record.  This was acceptable during our past 2 audits for MDR compliance.

    Best regards,

    Dear all,

    we were fine as well with filing a memo summing up the needed qualifications per article 15 MDR and adding the evidence (resume, certifiacte of university).
    How ever, we had an auditor, that requested specifically a training record, that the PRRC is trained on his responsibilites. Fortunately, we had this.

    Dear all,

     

    We had to have the same proof as Lutz stated.  The training record of the PRRC has to show they are qualified.

    Hi Bedwuine
    In addition to appointment and training record, some NB´s auditors also want to see how the manufacturer within QMS shows the ability of PRRC to do practicing (in practice) all the required activity, for example, by a record of the internal audit focused on practical PRRC´s abilities.
