510(k) Document Creation |
As a regulatory consulting organization, it is our responsibility
to stay abreast of the FDA requirements for medical device manufacturers,
which change regularly. Our long time experience with the FDA regulations
include 510(k), PMA, IND and PLA submissions.
510(k)
Submissions
We
have successfully prepared 510(k) submissions for over eighty devices
that range from Scimedx Primate Umbilical Cord (EMA/PUC) IFA Test
for detecting Anti-Endomysial IgA Antibody in human serum to . EIA
Kit for the Detection of GBM Antibodies and much more.
We offer support for the preparation of the entire submission package
or we can focus on specific needs for validation documents. Our
regulatory submissions support services address the requirements
of the FDA and CE Mark. We offer solutions resulting from our extensive
experience on the most effectively structured submission aimed at
minimizing questions and streamlining the review process. Examples
of our work include:
510(k) for diagnostic device:
Developed strategy that resulted in reducing the submission schedule
by three months from company schedule and competitor bid.
Clinical trials: Designed clinical
trial plan that reduced the number of sites, number of patients,
and facilitated the validation and analysis of collected data. Significant
savings realized in schedule and cost.
We can ensure the success of your next 510(k) and shorten the cycle
time required to prepare your submission documents.
