# QMS overview

The QMS (Quality Management System) is where your clinic keeps its quality documentation and its medical device register — signed documents with a full version history, and devices with their manuals, supplier agreements and maintenance records.

| 📍 **Where to find this:** Left navigation menu → **Quality Mgmt. System**

## 🧭 How to access QMS

1. Click **Quality Mgmt. System** in the left navigation menu.
2. Choose **Document & Reports** or **Medical Device**.

||| ⚠️ QMS is a paid add-on **and** has to be switched on for you personally. If you cannot see it in the menu, an administrator must enable QMS for your user under **General Settings → Team**. If your clinic has no QMS plan, you are taken to the upgrade page instead.

## ✅ What's in QMS

| # | Page | What it covers |
| ---- |
| 1 | [Document & Reports](https://help.meridiq.com/en/article/manage-quality-documents-reports-1yq6end/) | Create signed quality documents, keep every version, and export them |
| 2 | [Medical Device](https://help.meridiq.com/en/article/manage-medical-devices-u53bkr/) | Register devices with manuals and supplier agreements, and log maintenance |

|| ℹ️ Both pages work the same way: a list you can filter by **All**, **Active** or **Inactive**, an **Export** button that builds a ZIP, and a log of every change.

## 🗂️ Active and inactive records

Nothing in QMS is ever permanently deleted. Switching a document or device to **Inactive** hides it from the default list, and you can switch it back to **Active** at any time.

|| ℹ️ Inactive records are still included in ZIP exports — an export is a complete archive, not a snapshot of what is currently active.
