Comprehensive regulatory compliance checks

Integrated approach to commercialization

Expert trial design

Innovative technology for a medical device is only the beginning. You also need a solid development plan that can be adapted along the way. Compelling evidence and a convincing value proposition matter. Competing priorities and differing stakeholder definitions of value require creative, connected strategies that maximize each stage of development. And – as evidence is gathered – it informs and iterates regulatory, reimbursement, clinical and post-market strategies.

As advisors specialized in medical device and diagnostic development, we can help you design and execute integrated strategies for robust evidence generation and successful commercialization. 

  • Regulatory Affairs

    Begin with the end in mind

    You need to think ahead and ask the right questions to uncover potential regulatory risks that could set you back. 

    Are my preclinical studies addressing biocompatibility endpoints?  

    Do my predicates align with reimbursement and regulatory goals?

    What are the regulatory compliance requirements of my targeted global marketplace?

    Efficiently integrating your market approach from conception to completion ultimately saves you time, money and effort. By looking at product classification, required quality standards and required testing upfront, you can avoid unnecessary testing and facilitate discussions with regulators and notified bodies to prepare for regulatory submissions. 

    Our regulatory specialists start early, examining every aspect of regulatory compliance to identify potential issues that could impact your design, materials, manufacturing methods or financial plans. Leveraging worldwide experience with regulatory agencies, we cultivate novel, targeted strategies to help you achieve regulatory approval in your target markets.

  • Health Economics and Reimbursement

    It is critical to fully understand the current health economic and reimbursement landscape. Regulatory clearance only gives medical device companies the opportunity to market a device – it does not ensure payment.

    An integrated approach supports the entire commercialization journey from early concept through post-market launch. Improve your chances of market acceptance for a faster return on investment, with guidance from our reimbursement specialists.

    • Reimbursement Landscape Assessments
    • Strategic Planning for Reimbursement
    • Evidence Development Planning
    • Input to Clinical Study Design and Endpoints

    Thoughtful trial design and execution achieves the most efficient acquisition of sound scientific evidence on your device. Every trial has unique characteristics. Optimizing the appropriate study design to get the evidence you need, saves you both time and money during the operational phase of your project.
