Medical Device Regulatory Consulting

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 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. 

Understanding the FDA's New 510(k) Submission Guidance

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
