4.1.4.1 Support Functions and Continuous Improvement

The outer lying areas of the diagram are considered "support functions". Each serves the purpose ofproviding a specific support either directly or indirectly to the Quality Management System. HumanResources, Facilities, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), Information Technology (IT) providefor management of resources; specifically, personnel, equipment, tools, technologies, infrastructureand work environment necessary for implementing the quality system, maintaining its effectivenessand meeting Regulatory and customer requirements. Document control ensures that the supportingdocumentation and maintenance of such documents for organizational and regulatory requirementsare handled accordingly.

The Continuous Improvement System encompasses Risk Management, CAPA, ManagementReviews of the quality system, Training, Internal Quality Audits and Business Reviews. Similar tosupport functions, each provide a specific contribution to the overall improvement of the qualitysystem through consistent management and prioritization of quality issues. This system isestablished to identify, manage, correct and prevent customer related, in-house product related andfield related deficiencies. Contributions from each element help to ensure that necessary actions arebeing taken to continuously improve the products and services we provide as well as to strengthenthe overall quality management system. Business reviews provide the lines of communicationnecessary for Executive Management to build awareness, stay abreast of issues, make strategicdecisions and ensure that the organization is aligning its goals and objectives.

4.1.4.2 Customer Requirements and the Product Development Cycle

Customer needs and requirements are obtained through various sources and means of datacollection. We utilize these sources and the information we receive from them throughout theproduct development cycle. We use detailed processes to translate customer responses intorequirements and make considerations for new products and improvements to existing productsbased on their feedback. Being aware of these requirements allows us to make strategicdeterminations regarding feasibility, market acceptance and other factors relating to productdevelopment prior to the organizations commitments to supply product to our customers.

4.1.4.3 Product Development and Supply Chain

The interaction between the Product Development cycle and the Supply Chain cycle begins at Phase3 of Design and Development, where lines of communication are established between the twoprocesses to ensure that materials are available to support product development activities.Communication is also established during Phase 5 Design Transfer for Planning, scheduling andprocurement of materials needed for production build.

4.1.4.4 Material Procurement and Production

Forecasting is conducted and communicated to the planners and schedulers within the supply chaincycle. Supplier Quality Assurance evaluates suppliers, approves them based on our requirementsand builds quality relationships with them in order to ensure that the products they provide meet ourpredetermined specifications. All incoming material goes through receiving inspection to ensure thatonly those materials which have passed inspection are made available for production. Whenprocesses that affect product conformity are outsourced, controls are implemented to ensure thatthese processes meet specified requirements.

Manufacturing receives inspected and approved materials through the material procurement processand begins production build based on supply and demand. Before being released for distribution, allfinished devices are inspected to ensure that quality specifications have been met.

4.1.4.5 Supply Chain Cycle and Order Fulfillment

Feedback is obtained through various internal and external sources in order to maintain theeffectiveness of the QMS by providing early warnings of quality problems. Sources of feedbackinclude but are not limited to production trends, complaint/return trends, internal audit results,Corporate and third party audit results, post-market surveillance, non-conforming product (incomingand in-process) as well as Management Reviews. Feedback is evaluated and filtered through ourCAPA system. More details about our continuous improvement system are included in section4.1.4.1 of this manual.

8.2.2 Internal Audit

A comprehensive program of planned and documented Quality Management System audits iscarried out. Procedures are established and maintained for planning and implementing internalquality audits to verify that quality activities and results comply with planned arrangements, as wellas to monitor the effectiveness of Quality System.

Audits are scheduled on the basis of the status and the importance of the activity and are conductedby trained and qualified personnel independent of those having direct responsibility for the auditedactivity.

Identified non-conforming conditions are documented and reported to responsible managers.Corrective actions, including a re-audit of findings, are documented.

Each main activity comprising the Quality System will be audited at planned intervals. In addition toscheduled audits, certain activities may be selected for more frequent auditing, depending on theirstatus, importance, and past compliance history.

An internal audit schedule and plan will be developed each year. The plan will list dates, the areasto be audited, the dates audits were completed, and the signature of the internal auditor.

A checklist may be completed by the audit team and used as a tool during audits to evaluate anddetermine whether all the activities corresponding to ISO 13485, MDD and AIMDD requirements,and QSRlGMP including 21 CFR§ 803, comply with the specified requirements.

Management personnel responsible for the audited areas are required to take timely correctiveaction on the deficiencies found during the audit.

Follow-up audit activities are required to verify and record the implementation and effectiveness ofthe corrective action taken. The file shall document audit dates, auditors, and final closure dates.

The results of internal quality audits form an integral part of the input to the management reviewactivities.

Audit files are proprietary and not available to any outside agency without the permission ofCorporate Quality and Regulatory and/or Medtronic Legal Council.
