See exactly where your QMS stands against ISO 13485 and FDA QMSR — every finding traced to the clause behind it.

The guides and crosswalks are free and live today; the automated scan of your own QMS is coming soon. FDA QMSR is now in enforcement — your internal audits and management reviews are inspectable records, so there’s still a window to find and close the gaps first.

Three situations we help with most often

Pre-submission

You're 6–12 months from FDA submission and your QMS lives in Google Drive.

A free scan shows you where your QMS is solid and where the gaps are — while there's still time to close them.

Learner

If compliance is part of your job but not in your title, this is written for you too.

Plain-English guides for founders, engineers, PMs, etc. — grounded in the standards themselves.

Quality professional

You're mapping requirements across frameworks and need clause-level answers, not overviews.

167 requirements across six standards. Every clause mapped. No login, no paywall.

Compliance knowledge is not a product. It’s a public good.

Understanding regulations shouldn’t be hard, and neither should identifying the gaps in your QMS. So we publish the foundational references and guides free — and a free scan of your own QMS is on the way. We can go deeper if you need it.

THE SCANNER

Software speed with consultant depth.

Not a keyword scan. For every requirement that governs your device, the scanner reads your documents and asks the questions a careful reviewer would — is the intent addressed, where, and with enough specificity and evidence to hold up to an audit?

Sample findingMAJOR GAP
ISO 14971 §7.1 — Risk control option analysis

Your Risk Management Plan names risk control measures but does not document the option analysis the clause requires — why each control was chosen over alternatives.

Found in: Risk-Management-Plan-v3.docx · §4.2

What’s missing: a documented rationale comparing control options for each identified hazard.
