Assessment Requirements of Audit Compliance.
1 General Requirements of Compliance Assessment in Audit.

The Brazilian OCP should audit the GR and QMS in the plant or to request that the audit be carried
out by CABs accredited by MLA member body of IAF, with which OCP has MoU through an Audit
Plan developed by the Brazilian OCP. This audit must necessarily take into account all the
requirements of Annexes A and B, in order to check the conformity of production and GR process.
The results of these audits should be treated and evaluated by the Brazilian OCP
2 The OCP should evaluate the Risk Management File (AGR) and in accordance with the
requirements of this RAC and the following standards:
2.1 ABNT NBR ISO 14971/2009, Health products, risk management application to health
products (Table 2)
2.2 ABNT NBR IEC 60601-1/2010, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1, General requirements

b) Leakage current measurement (section 8.7);
c) dielectric strength test (section 8.8, nondestructive); and
d) functional tests are specified by the manufacturer and agreed with the OCP.
6.1 For the realization of routine testing is recommended the use of the prescribed verification IEC
TR 62354:2014 General testing procedures for medical electrical equipment, routine testing in item
production line K.
7. The OCP should analyze the AGR applying all the requirements of ISO 14971 (Table 2 of this
RAC). If you identify a change technical standard or project that impacts the safety, OCP must
confirm the AGR if the product was tested again for the requirement analyzed or forms established
control measures.
8. Among the changes documented in the AGR on the analysis of the object must be related
modifications to the mechanical design, electrical design, software, installing the product, materials
and electronic components which may affect or alter the functional safety, and security the
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical product.
9. Product samples that need to be collected for testing during a factory audit must meet the item
6.2.4.2 of this RAC.
10. The OCP shall assess the quality management system of the manufacturer and audit importers,
record holders and registration, certification of applicants in accordance with the requirements of
Annex B of the RAC. The certification in accordance with ABNT NBR ISO 13485/2004 is optional.
In the case of external certification, the certificate must be valid and the certification audit report
