-## Best Practices
-
-### Document Development
-
-1. **Start at policy level, then add detail:**
-   - Quality Manual = policy level
-   - Procedures = what, who, when
-   - Work Instructions = detailed how-to
-   - Forms = data collection
-
-2. **Maintain consistency:**
-   - Use same terminology throughout
-   - Cross-reference related documents
-   - Keep numbering scheme consistent
-   - Update all related documents together
-
-3. **Write for your audience:**
-   - Clear, simple language
-   - Avoid jargon
-   - Define technical terms
-   - Provide examples where helpful
-
-4. **Make procedures usable:**
-   - Action-oriented language
-   - Logical flow
-   - Clear responsibilities
-   - Realistic timeframes
-
-### Exclusions
-
-**When you can exclude:**
-- Design and development (if contract manufacturer only)
-- Installation (if product requires no installation)
-- Servicing (if not offered)
-- Sterilization (if non-sterile product)
-
-**Justification requirements:**
-- Must be in Quality Manual
-- Must explain why excluded
-- Cannot exclude if process performed
-- Cannot affect ability to provide safe, effective devices
-
-**Example good justification:**
-> "Clause 7.3 Design and Development is excluded. ABC Company operates as a contract manufacturer and produces medical devices according to complete design specifications provided by customers. All design activities are performed by the customer and ABC Company has no responsibility for design inputs, outputs, verification, validation, or design changes."
-
-**Example poor justification:**
-> "We don't do design." (Too brief, doesn't explain why or demonstrate no impact)
-
-### Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
-1. **Copying ISO 13485 text verbatim**
-   - Write in your own words
-   - Describe YOUR processes
-   - Make it actionable for your organization
-
-2. **Making procedures too detailed**
-   - Procedures should be stable
-   - Excessive detail belongs in work instructions
-   - Balance guidance with flexibility
-
-3. **Creating documents in isolation**
-   - Ensure consistency across QMS
-   - Cross-reference related documents
-   - Build on previously created documents
-
-4. **Forgetting records**
-   - Every procedure should specify records
-   - Define retention requirements
-   - Ensure records actually maintained
-
-5. **Inadequate approval**
-   - Quality Manual must be signed by top management
-   - All procedures must be properly approved
-   - Train staff before documents become effective
