Medical Device Regulatory Consulting
Are you facing regulatory challenges? We can help. Commercializing medical devices requires careful navigation through complex and often confusing FDA and international regulations. Many companies fail to realize how challenging and expensive regulatory compliance can be without a thorough and effective regulatory strategy. MEDIcept has experience with FDA and IVD regulations to help you meet standards in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Regulatory Strategy for Medical Device Success
As international regulatory consultants, we have decades of hands-on regulatory strategy and implementation experience, successfully gaining regulatory clearance for numerous types of medical devices.
All medical device manufacturers need a regulatory strategy, and they need it very early in the product development schedule—a defined, clear path to bring the product to market. We have helped start-ups and established companies identify their device's classification, the standards required to be met, and the regulatory pathway to success.
Support for U.S. and EU Medical Device Submissions
Our regulatory affairs services are designed to fit your needs and may include:
Global Regulatory Strategy Development
Developing a comprehensive regulatory strategy is crucial for ensuring that a medical device meets the diverse requirements of various global markets. This strategy guides manufacturers through the complex landscape of regulations, minimizing delays and ensuring efficient market entry. MEDIcept specializes in crafting tailored global regulatory strategies to ensure your device meets the requirements of the FDA, EU MDR, and other international regulations while streamlining your path to market.
Regulatory Submissions (510(k), PMA, de novo)
Regulatory submissions are the cornerstone of gaining market approval for medical devices. Whether through 510(k) for demonstrating substantial equivalence, PMA for demonstrating safety and effectiveness for high-risk devices, or de novo for novel products, these submissions are critical for regulatory compliance. Our expert team provides guidance in preparing and submitting 510(k), PMA, and de novo applications, ensuring all necessary documentation is accurate and complete to speed up the process of reaching a successful submission.
Technical Documentation
Maintaining robust technical documentation is essential for regulatory compliance, particularly under the EU MDR and IVDR. These files serve as the backbone of regulatory submissions and ongoing compliance, demonstrating that the device meets safety and performance requirements. MEDIcept excels in compiling and maintaining technical files, including Clinical Evaluation Reports (CERs), ensuring your documentation is always audit-ready and compliant with the latest regulations.
EU CE Mark
The CE Mark is mandatory for selling medical devices in the European Union. It signifies that a product meets all EU regulatory requirements, including safety and performance standards, under the MDR. MEDIcept guides manufacturers through the CE Marking process, from initial classification to the preparation of technical files and submission to Notified Bodies, ensuring a smooth approval process.
Clinical Evaluation Reports (CER)
CERs are a key component of the EU MDR compliance process, documenting the clinical evidence supporting the safety and performance of a medical device. They are critical for both new devices and those undergoing re-certification. MEDIcept's experienced team prepares thorough Clinical Evaluation Reports, leveraging real-world data and clinical studies to support your device's safety and efficacy, ensuring compliance with EU requirements.
FDA Establishment Registration and Medical Device Listing
All medical device manufacturers must register their establishments and list their devices with the FDA before marketing them in the U.S. This process is essential for ensuring that devices are tracked and regulated appropriately. MEDIcept assists companies in completing FDA Establishment Registration and Device Listing, ensuring compliance with U.S. regulatory requirements and avoiding penalties.
If you're a European medical device manufacturer looking to sell in the U.S., FDA establishment registration is mandatory. This process requires you to register annually with the FDA and designate a U.S. agent, like MEDIcept, to handle communication with the FDA, assist with inspections, recalls, and adverse event reporting. Partnering with an experienced U.S. agent is crucial for navigating FDA regulations and securing successful entry into the U.S. market. Contact us to learn how MEDIcept can assist with FDA registration and regulatory compliance to prevent costly mistakes.
Adverse Event Reporting and Medical Device Reporting (MDR)
Post-market surveillance, including adverse event reporting, is critical for maintaining the safety and effectiveness of medical devices once they are on the market. Proper reporting helps identify potential issues early, protecting patients and maintaining compliance. MEDIcept offers robust support in setting up and managing Medical Device Reporting (MDR) systems, ensuring timely and accurate reporting of adverse events to regulatory authorities.
Vigilance Reporting
Vigilance reporting is a mandatory process in the EU for monitoring and reporting incidents involving medical devices. It is crucial for maintaining device safety and ensuring swift corrective actions when needed. MEDIcept provides comprehensive vigilance reporting services, managing the entire process from incident detection to reporting to the relevant Competent Authorities, ensuring compliance and patient safety.
