Page 11: Case for Quality - AdvaMed · PDF fileCase for Quality Library ... area that you are in. ... Quality Functional Deployment model, QFD 2. Requirements Cascade 3

The 5 Core Principles1. Product design is simply the successive refinement of requirements

All specifications are simply means to communicate requirements to the next level ofhierarchy through an unbroken cascade.

2. Nothing is more important to success than managing requirementsRequirements must be complete, concise, unambiguous, measurable and wholly transparentto all participants. They are the basis for schedules, reviews, testing, metrics, regulatorysubmissions, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement.

3. Mitigations and residual risks are requirements that must be managedAll failure modes, including use error & foreseeable misuse, must be traced to hazardoussituations & all hazardous situations must be traced to potential harms.

4. Evidence of conformance must identify the design configurationPrototypes are cost, not progress. Learning is progress. Configurations used for verificationmust include assessments showing the configuration tested is equivalent to the design beingreleased.

5. Program Management relies on standard work and objective metrics# +Δ requirements, # +Δ protocols w/GR&R, # +Δ protocols run, % +Δ req verified, % +Δprocesses w/capability estimated, % +Δ processes w/capability verified.

What? CTQ is a potentially vulnerable failure mode or process that iskey to assure patient safety

Why? CTQ monitor program is recommended to predict and preventunfavorable behavior

CTQ Screening:- Failure Mode with high severity and RI (RI: 2 /Severity: 4/5) –link to Risk Managementprocesses.

- Vulnerable process - High Scrap, NCEPs and/or Complaints- Potentially affects patient safety

Tool/Method/Example Summary Tool/Example Name: Active Requirements Management (RM) Tool

General Description:This tool is utilized to ensure that the various (inputs) requirements are translatedinto predictive, measureable performance values. These outputs can be tracked onthe CTQ Scorecard. The Risk Flow Down model is utilized to ensure that risksassociated with a specific requirement have the appropriate mitigations.

Glossary of terms (specific to this tool/example): None unique

Typical Uses: These tools can be utilized during the design process to ensure requirements

are adequately translated to quantify performance values.

Critical Quality Attributes– Critical CQA’s are critical product design specifications

• Critical CQA’s are product design specifications where being in-spec is considered “critical”for product quality

– Note: Expectation is that manufactured product will meet all product designspecifications (quality attributes) in the DMR, whether designated as “critical” or not• In accordance with QSR Subpart G, Production and Process Controls• The designation of a product design specification as “critical” merely conveys that the consequences of

being out of spec are severe, so additional focus is prudent during manufacturing, verification, etc.

Identify Critical CQAsFor a given quality attribute, if a significant departure from design toleranceis predicted to result in unacceptable product quality (i.e., major customerdissatisfaction and/or unacceptable risk), that quality attribute is identifiedas a CQA.

Note: For most quality attributes, a large, unlimited departure from designtolerance inevitably results in unacceptable product quality , but this doesnot imply that most quality attributes are CQA’s. The main purpose of CQAidentification is to highlight those quality attributes for which a slightdeparture from design tolerance has unacceptable consequences.

For a given quality attribute, if a significant departure from design toleranceis predicted to result in unacceptable product quality (i.e., major customerdissatisfaction and/or unacceptable risk), that quality attribute is identifiedas a CQA.

Note: For most quality attributes, a large, unlimited departure from designtolerance inevitably results in unacceptable product quality , but this doesnot imply that most quality attributes are CQA’s. The main purpose of CQAidentification is to highlight those quality attributes for which a slightdeparture from design tolerance has unacceptable consequences.

Identify Critical CQAsFor CQA identification purposes, the concept of a “significant departure”from design tolerance is interpreted as follows:

• For continuous quality attributes with linear design tolerance, asignificant departure from design tolerance should be defined asdeparture up to a factor of 2 from design tolerance (i.e., up to a 100%departure from design tolerance).

Identify Critical CQAs• For discrete quality attributes, any departure from design tolerance may

be considered a significant departure, but project team personnel shouldsubjectively decide what constitutes a significant departure.

Example: For an implant, the color specification “green” might beconsidered a CQA if manufacturing that implant as any color other thangreen (e.g., “blue” or “red”) is predicted to result in unacceptable productquality.

Identify Critical CQAsFor CQA identification purposes, the consequence of a significant departure fromdesign tolerance (i.e., the failure effect) is determined using any of the followingmethods or combination of methods:1. Judgment of engineering, quality assurance, clinical affairs, and/or marketing

personnel on the project team2. Inspection of Risk Management File info3. Inspection and analysis of field data, test data, theoretical models, NC/CAPA

information, standards, regulations, and/or literature for similar products
