NOTE 1 This document does not require that the manufacturer have a quality management system in place. However, many regulatory authorities require the application of a quality management system, such as that described in ISO 13485, to ensure that the implant achieves its intended performance and safety.
NOTE 2 In this document, when not otherwise specified, the term "implant" refers to each individual component of a system or a modular implant, provided separately or as a set of components, as well as to all ancillary implants or associated implants designed for improving the intended performance.
