The medical device single audit program (MDSAP) is a program that allows for a single regulatory audit of a medical device manufacturer’s quality management system. This single audit satisfies the regulatory requirements of up to five different medical device markets (i.e., Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, United States).
A medical device audit is a systematic, documented procedure that aims to gather data and determine whether devices are manufactured in accordance with regulatory requirements and good manufacturing practices. They might be carried out on an announced or unannounced basis by notified organizations and government authorities.

The MDSAP allows medical device manufacturers to be assessed once for conformity with the regulatory and standard requirements of up to five separate medical device markets: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, and the United States.

ISO 13485 and MDSAP are two separate programs with comparable specifications, but they are not interchangeable. MDSAP has the stricter criteria of the two, and organizations that are already certified to ISO 13485 will experience an increase of audit days once they pursue MDSAP certification.
