Although I do not work in Quality, I would like to pitch in some input on how our company prepares and handles audits. Every year, our holding company carries out an unannounced mock audit. These mock audits, from what I’ve been told, are much more thorough and demanding than regular audits. Fortunately, we have passed every mock audit to date and as a result, passed every audit. I believe it is crucial for all medical device companies to establish random mock audits in order to ensure that all aspects of the company are maintaining good practice and quality. In addition, these mock audits provide a great amount of insight on how the company fared during the period. This allows companies to work on where they are lacking, whether they passed or not.
