Basic Essentials and Applications of Quality Management System (QMS) in Biomedical Sciences

Although the essentials of the quality management system (QMS) were introduced in the 1920s, its implementation in the laboratory was started in the 1940s. Quality in the laboratory means to have a traceable and accurate test results. Accordingly, any level of inaccuracy should be avoided. On the other hand, in the field of biomedical product manufacturing, achieving a safe and efficient product needs implementing all of the aspects of the quality in the manufacturing process [1, 2].
