Design controls are a set of methods used to complete/finish your design and it goes into more details are you all have already mention. The crazy thing is that all types of industries use design control in some sort,but may have a different name for it. According to the FDA design control is a major factor for medical devices manufacturers. I feel as though design control helps organize your idea of the medical device or product that you may be interested in developing. Just think if there was no design control for medical devices everything would be all over the place, even though some medical device final product seems as though it did not have a design control in the beginning.

I agree with Abhishek first sentence about design control is a broad term, because it can be used in different forms depending on different aspects.
