STRATEGIC APPROACHES

There are many aspects to successful market entrance for new medical devices. Ensuring that your device design meets FDA performance criteria is critical to both your and our success.

Our background in diagnostics R&D, human factors, risk management and technical aspects of device design, combined with our knowledge of the type of data collection and presentation that the FDA requires, gives us powerful insights into the development pathways that will get you to market sooner.

A poorly planned submission can mean months of costly studies and review cycles. At worst, it means loss of a product investment and expected revenue. We apply our experience to help circumvent issues that the US FDA may raise during reviews to ensure that your device submission is acceptable.

At best, a declined submission means many months of costly studies and rewrites, and repeating the lengthy review cycle of resubmission. At worst, it means loss of a product and its related costs. We help ensure that your device submission is acceptable to the US FDA.
