Lexqara helps medical device manufacturers build robust design controls that satisfy both FDA QSR and EU MDR requirements. Explore the Resource Center or review our Design Control Services.

Description:

This document defines how we capture and conclude design verification or design validation evidence in a consistent test report.
• Select Design verification or Design validation and state internal/external execution (Laboratory Name).
• Record Protocol reference, Report reference, and Date for traceability.
• Define the Objective linked to requirement IDs in the traceability matrix (#X.Y).
• List applicable Reference standards, guidance, and internal procedures used.
• Document Deviations and justify why results remain valid.
• Confirm Sample Selection, Sampling Plan, and rationale for sample size.
• Maintain Product Traceability (samples, equipment, materials, IDs/lots/serials).
• Report Test Results, Pass/Fail, corrective actions/design change, and attachments.

Your needs:

design verification test report aligned with ISO 13485 requirements
• design verification test report for project decision-making
• Reduce audit risk with clear pass/fail evidence and deviation control.

Use this report after executing an approved protocol to document results, deviations, and conclusions against the defined requirements, with attachments for raw test data where needed.

It supports consistent decision-making. Deviations are any departures from the approved protocol and must be justified; Product Traceability links what was tested to identifiers so results remain defensible.
• Link each parameter to DI/UR IDs in the traceability matrix.
• Confirm the acceptance criteria applied are measurable and justified.
• Summarize results and clearly indicate Pass/Fail per criterion.
• Record observations and justification for unmet criteria.
• Define corrective actions or design changes when needed.

At Lexqara, we help align your protocols, reports, and DHF evidence so verification/validation outputs stay coherent across design control and audits. Explore our Resource Center and our Design Control Support for Start-up Companies, and benchmark design control expectations via FDA Design Controls. Request a short report gap assessment.

[Test description]

This form must be completed for all design verification or validation activities, whether conducted internally or externally. For external tests, a summary of the protocol and results must be documented in the appropriate sections. If multiple tests are covered by this report, each section should be stratified by test.

Design verification

Design validation

Test performed internally

  • Protocol reference:

Test performed externally:

  • Laboratory Name:
  • Report reference:
  • Date:

Objective

State the purpose of the test and identify the related design inputs (for verification) or user requirements (for validation) as documented in the traceability matrix.

The objective of this test is to confirm that [Device Name] meets the design input / user requirement criteria identified as #X.Y and #Z.A, as listed in the traceability matrix [Document Ref, Revision].

Reference

The following reference standards, guidance documents, and/or internal procedures were used for the preparation, execution, and assessment of the test.

Reference

Description

List the applicable standards, test protocols, internal procedures, or regulatory documents used for this test.

Deviations

The test was executed according to the approved protocol

Deviations

No deviation observed

Deviation(s) observed (see below)

Description of the deviation

Justification for validity of results

For each deviation from the approved protocol, describe the deviation and justify why the validity of the test results is not adversely affected. If no deviation occurred, select “No deviation observed”.

Deviations may concern sample preparation, test equipment, conditions, method, etc.

Sample Selection

The justification of sample selection is defined in the design verification/validation protocol: XXXX Include the protocol number and revision.

/OR

The following is the list of devices within [Device Name] range/family along with their characteristics that can affect the test results.

Device model

Feature 1

Feature 2

Feature 3

Feature X

Complete the table by listing each device model and the relevant characteristics that may influence the test results.

XXXX Describe how the selected device model(s) represent the product range/family for the purpose of this test. The justification shall include the critical characteristics that may affect the test outcome, such as size, configuration, material, design variant, operating principle, or other relevant parameters.

If the device is intended to be connected to, or have an interface with, other products (e.g., medical devices, accessories or other), the sample selection shall justify the configuration(s) selected as representative of all relevant configurations.

In conclusion, the devices selected for the test are the following:

Device model

Description

Sampling Plan

The sampling plan was established based on the following method:

Indicate applicable standard/statistical method/risk-based approach/internal SOP.

Title

Document number

Revision

Accordingly, XXX samples will be used for each model selected according to the following justification:

Rationale for number of samples tested:

Product Traceability

Product description

Identification (if applicable)

Traceability (if applicable)

Test samples

Measuring equipment

Equipment

Materials

Other

List all device models, test samples, measuring equipment, or materials used, including their lot/serial number for traceability, as necessary (remove non-applicable items)

Testing Method

See protocol number: XXXX. Briefly summarize the method applied, including sample preparation, test conditions, and equipment used.

Reference applicable standards.

/OR

XXX Reference the approved protocol and summarize the method actually applied, including any relevant execution conditions and deviations, if applicable.

Acceptance Criteria

The design verification/validation activity is considered successful if the following acceptance criteria are met:

Test parameters

Acceptance criteria

Traceability to Design Inputs/User Requirements

#X.Y indicate the DI/or UR

#X.Y indicate the DI/or UR

#X.Y indicate the DI/or UR

#X.Y indicate the DI/or UR

Good practice: if the acceptance criterion is not defined/justified in the traceability matrix (e.g., for indirect parameters), the justification of the defined criteria must be indicated.

Test Results

Summarize the test results in a clear, tabular or narrative format.

Indicate whether each acceptance criterion was met. Include any necessary justification and describe corrective actions for unmet criteria.

Attach raw test data as needed.

Tests

Test method reference

Data summary

Description of results, inclusion of pictures, etc.

Duplicate the table if multiple tests are considered under the same report.

Conclusion

The requirements for [describe the type of test] are [met/ not met]. The test [confirms / does not confirm] compliance of [Device Name] with the design inputs, #X.Y, #Z.A / user requirements #X, #Y.

Only if one or more criteria are not met (otherwise remove):

All acceptance criteria were met, except the following:
