What's inside

Five pages, zero fluff

Every figure in this guide traces to a named source — regulatory guidance and verified 2026 publications.

What MDSAP is

The IMDRF program behind the single audit — five regulators, one AO, ISO 13485 plus country clauses.

The 3-year cycle

Initial certification, two surveillance audits, recertification — 4–6 days of auditing, and Canada's mandate for Class II–IV.

The Brazil lever

ANVISA grants B-GMP certificates from your MDSAP report — and extends them to 4 years. One program, two continents.
