Patellar (Kneecap) Fractures. A patellar fracture is a break in the patella, or kneecap, the small bone that sits at the front of your knee. Because the patella acts as a shield for your knee joint, it is vulnerable to fracture if you fall directly onto your knee or hit it against the dashboard in a vehicle collision.
Quality management system. A quality management system (QMS) is a collection of business processes focused on consistently meeting customer requirements and enhancing their satisfaction. It is aligned with an organization's purpose and strategic direction (ISO9001:2015).
Hoxey: A QMS is a critical element for medical devices, required by the regulations in most jurisdictions to integrate the control of a productâs life cycle. Hence, it was necessary to update ISO 13485 to reflect the latest developments in technology as well as the expectations of manufacturers and regulators.
