What are the specific requirements of FDA for the quality system of mobility scooters?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a series of specific requirements for the quality system of mobility scooters, which are mainly reflected in its Quality System Regulation (QSR), namely 21 CFR Part 820. Here are some key requirements of the FDA for the quality system of mobility scooters:

1. Quality policy and organizational structure
Quality policy: Management needs to establish policies and objectives for quality and commit to ensuring that the quality policy is understood, implemented and maintained at all levels of the organization
Organizational structure: Manufacturers need to establish and maintain an appropriate organizational structure to ensure that the design and production of the device meet regulatory requirements

2. Management responsibilities
Responsibilities and authorities: Manufacturers need to clarify the responsibilities, authorities and interrelationships of all managers, executives and quality assessment work, and provide the necessary independence and authority to perform these tasks
Resources: Manufacturers need to provide sufficient resources, including the allocation of trained personnel, to manage, perform work and evaluate activities, including internal quality audits, to meet regulatory requirements
Management representative: Management needs to appoint a management representative who is responsible for ensuring that quality system requirements are effectively established and maintained, and reporting the performance of the quality system to the management level with executive responsibilities

3. Management review
Quality system review: Management needs to regularly review the suitability and effectiveness of the quality system to ensure that the quality system meets regulatory requirements and the quality policies and objectives established by the manufacturer

4. Quality Planning and Procedures
Quality Planning: Manufacturers need to establish a quality plan to define the quality practices, resources and activities related to the design and manufacture of equipment
Quality System Procedures: Manufacturers need to establish quality system procedures and instructions, and establish an outline of the document structure when appropriate

5. Quality Audit
Quality Audit Procedures: Manufacturers need to establish quality audit procedures and conduct audits to ensure that the quality system meets the established quality system requirements and determine the effectiveness of the quality system

6. Personnel
Personnel Training: Manufacturers need to ensure that employees are adequately trained to perform their assigned activities correctly

7. Other specific requirements
Design Control: Manufacturers need to establish and maintain design control procedures to ensure that the design of the equipment meets user needs and application requirements
Document Control: Document control procedures need to be established to control the documents required by the quality system
Purchasing Control: Purchasing control procedures need to be established to ensure that purchased products and technical services meet specified requirements
Production and Process Control: Production and process control procedures need to be established to monitor and control the production process
Non-conforming products: Non-conforming product control procedures need to be established to identify and control products that do not meet requirements
Corrective and preventive measures: Corrective and preventive measures procedures need to be established to identify and resolve quality issues

The above requirements ensure mobility Scooters are designed, manufactured, tested, and maintained to ensure user safety and product performance. These FDA regulations are designed to reduce risks, improve overall product quality, and ensure that mobility scooters meet market and consumer needs.
