GENERAL FAQ
What is Vigilia?
Vigilia is a structured platform designed to streamline how product issues and complaints are reported, tracked, and managed between healthcare organizations and manufacturers.

Does Vigilia replace existing quality systems?
No. Vigilia is not a replacement for existing Quality Management Systems (QMS).
