FAQ

What is ISO 13485 certification?

ISO 13485 is the international standard for quality management systems in medical device development. It covers the full product lifecycle: design controls, risk management, supplier management, production, and post-market surveillance. For software companies, it means your development processes follow documented, auditable procedures that regulatory bodies recognize.

Is Momentum ISO 13485 certified?

Yes. Momentum holds ISO 13485 certification for medical device software development. Our quality management system covers requirements gathering, design, development, testing, release, and maintenance. Every healthcare product we build follows these certified processes.

What does ISO 13485 mean for software development?

It means your software is built under a quality management system with design controls, risk management (per ISO 14971), traceability between requirements and test cases, documented change management, and validation protocols aligned with IEC 62304. In practice, this produces audit-ready documentation alongside your product, not as an afterthought.

How much does ISO 13485 certification cost?

ISO 13485 certification costs vary by company size and scope. Initial certification typically involves gap analysis, documentation development, internal audits, and the certification audit itself. The timeline ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on your current quality management maturity. When you work with Momentum, your product is already built under ISO 13485 processes, which reduces your own certification scope and timeline.

What is the ISO 13485 certification process?

The process includes: establishing a quality management system, documenting procedures and work instructions, conducting internal audits, performing a management review, and passing an external certification audit by an accredited body. Maintaining certification requires annual surveillance audits and a full recertification audit every three years.

How does ISO 13485 relate to FDA and MDR compliance?

ISO 13485 certification is recognized by both the FDA (US) and under the Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) as evidence of a quality management system. While ISO 13485 alone does not guarantee FDA clearance or CE marking, it provides the quality management foundation that both regulatory pathways require. Momentum builds products that meet ISO 13485 quality standards, which supports your FDA 510(k), De Novo, or MDR submissions.

Do you help companies get ISO 13485 certified?

Yes. Beyond building products under our own certification, we help healthcare companies prepare for their own ISO 13485 certification. This includes gap analysis against the standard, documentation development, internal audit support, and audit readiness review. We bring firsthand experience from maintaining our own certification.

Do you use compliance automation tools alongside ISO 13485?

Yes. Through our partnership with Vanta, we add continuous automated monitoring to our ISO 13485 quality management processes. Vanta verifies infrastructure controls, access policies, encryption status, and configuration compliance in real time. This supplements our certified QMS with automated evidence collection and control monitoring across approximately 50 regulatory frameworks, including HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
