Abstract
The medical device sector adheres to strict regulatory frameworks, requiring precise adherence to quality assurance (QA) processes during the production process. Conventional quality assurance (QA) approaches, although successful, sometimes require substantial time and resource allocations, resulting in possible obstacles and higher expenses. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years has completely transformed quality assurance (QA) methods in different sectors, providing unparalleled prospects for improved productivity, precision, and scalability. This research examines the possibility of using AI technologies to enhance quality assurance processes in the manufacturing of medical devices. Manufacturers may improve product quality and streamline production workflows by utilising AI techniques like machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing to automate and optimize important QA procedures. Artificial intelligence systems can analyse large amounts of data to find abnormalities, uncover flaws, and anticipate any problems in real-time. This allows for proactive intervention and reduces the chances of non-compliance hazards. In addition, AI-powered QA systems provide adaptive learning capabilities, constantly enhancing performance through feedback and adapting to changing regulatory needs. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into current quality management systems enables smooth and efficient sharing of data and compatibility, promoting a comprehensive approach to quality control throughout the whole production process.
