Group Exercise: Draw a House

Page 22: Quality Systems Compliance 1 FDA Medical Device Quality Systems Compliance

Quality Systems Compliance 22

Draw A House1. Read all instructions before beginning to draw the house2. Draw your house in the lower ½ of the page3. Begin by drawing a rectangle approximately 4 inches wide by 3 inches tall,

with the long side parallel to the bottom edge of the paper. The bottom of the rectangle should be 1 inch from the bottom of the paper.

4. Locate the center of the top edge of the rectangle. Put a small dot at that point.5. Put a small dot 1 ½ inches above the dot you just made. This dot will be

above the rectangle.6. Draw a line from the new dot to each edge of the top of the rectangle.7. Draw a door in the center of the rectangle. The door should be 3/4 inch wide

by 2 inches tall. The bottom of the door should touch the bottom of the rectangle.

8. Draw a window, approximately 1 inch square on each side of the door, 1 inch from the bottom of the rectangle. Hint: A average thumb is about 1 inch wide at the knuckle. The edge of each window should be ¼ inch from the nearest edge of the door.

9. Draw 4 panes of glass in each window by making a cross in each window. Each pane should be the same size.

10. Draw a chimney on the left side of the roof of the house. The chimney should be parallel to the left wall of the rectangle, touching the roof. The chimney should be ½ inch wide by 1 inch tall and go straight up.

11. Draw some smoke coming from the chimney. A squiggly line will represent smoke.

12. Put your pencil down when you are finished.

Class Exercise-Design ControlsDr. Bright and Dr. Idea have found a novel way to produce a machine to determine if a heart attack patient has additional blockage in the coronary arteries that may be caused by the surgical bypass procedure (CABG). The machine non-invasively measures arterial flow by using Doppler sonar to determine if the arteries are blocked. It can be used in a patient’s home, by itself, on post heart attack patients who may be at risk for additional heart attacks. It transfers the data to a monitoring station at a EMS facility for 24/7 monitoring.

They have formed a company (The Bright-Idea Company), built a prototype and tested it in the lab on sheep and pigs. It worked great. Now they want to begin marketing it for use on humans.

1. Is the machine a medical device?2. What steps should Dr. Bright and Dr. Idea take before they can begin

marketing the machine? 3. What documents do they need to have on file?

Class Exercise Manufacturing and Service

The Bright-Idea Company received approval to market the machine . They have produced approximately 1000 of the machines, shipped 700 to their customers.

One afternoon, the final tester began to notice that the machines did not always work the way they were supposed to at the final test station. He was rejecting about 50% of them.

The design engineer in charge found that there was a sticky valve in about 50% of one of the lots of valves they received two months ago. It was hard to tell if the valves would always fail or not, because the problem was intermittent.

350 machines had been made using the lot with the defective valves.

You are the Quality Engineer responsible for Corrective Actions. What steps should you take next?
