# Conflicting regulations: Who knows the current version?

Compliance, legal & quality management
You maintain the quality management manual while simultaneously needing to integrate the latest requirements of medical device law and the GDPR. Often, relevant information is scattered across emails, old manuals, and internal notes.

SITUATION Constantly searching for the right source wastes time. When regulations change or conflict, there is a high risk of errors in documentation. Double handling and outdated knowledge hinder daily work in quality management.

THREE KNOWLEDGE ISLANDS

## Where this knowledge sits.

Three situations that keep coming up in this industry — no metric, no promise.

REGULATION Current regulatory requirements Standards and laws change frequently. There is a risk that outdated versions are used as the basis for audits because the current version cannot be found centrally.
DOCUMENTATION Quality Management Manual The manual is dynamic but often stored statically. Changes to processes do not automatically find their way into central documentation, leading to inconsistencies.
RISK Medical Device Risk Management Risk assessments must be aligned with current safety requirements. A lack of transparency regarding the sources of risk assessments jeopardises traceability.

WHAT HAPPENS When you input documents, emails, or voice messages into the system, it automatically links this content. The assistant checks the inputs and explicitly identifies conflicts between different regulations, rather than smoothing them over. Every answer includes the exact reference, allowing you to verify the source immediately. This ensures that compliance documentation remains current and traceable.

Self-check — loads when visible.

ASKED

## What businesses in this industry ask.

How do I find the current version of regulatory requirements? + −
The system searches all imported sources and provides the reference with page number or timestamp. You receive the information directly from the context of the imported documents, without manual searching.

How do I update the quality management manual efficiently? + −
By importing new guidelines or changes as documents or emails, the system links these with existing processes. The assistant indicates where adjustments are needed and cites the source.

How do I demonstrate risk assessment for medical devices? + −
Through the central storage of all relevant risk documents and protocols. The system helps identify inconsistencies in assessments and provides evidence for audits with the respective source.
