Getting your medical device approved shouldn’t take years of trial and error

I help early-stage MedTech founders get a clear EU MDR, UKCA and/or FDA regulatory strategy in just 30 days so they can move forward with confidence, reduce delays and get to market faster

The problem:
Many founders are unsure which pathway applies, what documents are required or how to avoid months of regulatory back-and-forth. Without a clear plan, they risk burning runway, missing opportunities and losing investor confidence

How I help:

- Map the exact regulatory pathway (CE, UKCA, 510(k), De Novo, PMA)
- Define intended use & classification to align with regulators
- Build a step-by-step submission readiness plan
- Provide hands-on support for technical documentation, QMS & audits
- Guide devices including SaMD, AI/ML, hardware and IVDs through IEC 62304, IEC 82304, applicable ISO standards and emerging AI frameworks

Full capabilities:

Regulatory consulting: CE marking under MDR/IVDR, UKCA certification, FDA pathways (510(k), De Novo, PMA). PRRC & UKRP services. Gap assessments, submission support & strategic planning

Quality assurance: Implement & remediate QMS to ISO 13485 & MDSAP. Lead audits, manage CAPAs & complaints, support risk management (ISO 14971), process validation (IQ, OQ, PQ) & sterilisation (ISO 11607). Certified ISO 13485 Lead Auditor (CQI/IRCA)
