Five steps to ensure regulatory compliance

1. Medical device classification

Before you figure out how to move towards regulatory compliance you should get understanding what requirements will apply. In turns, requirements depend on risks associated with use of your medical device; and the risks determine the product’s class. That is why risk-based classification of medical devices is a critical step. This first step determines the nature of the following steps.

2. Creating technical documentation

The purpose of technical documentation is to convince the regulator of medical device’s safety, performance and quality. A regulator’s decision regarding your product often depends on whether your technical documentation is good enough.

3. Bringing your Quality Management System (QMS) into compliance with local regulations

Most regulatory agencies set strict requirements for medical device manufacturers’ quality systems. Making your QMS compliant with these requirements is essential to place a medical device on a market. Crucial components of manufacturers’ quality systems are the Risk Management System and Post Market Surveillance System.

4. Acquisition of clinical data

Most countries require including clinical data as a part of product dossier. Often such data can be collected during the Clinical Evaluation of your medical device. But sometimes clinical investigations must be conducted to obtain clinical evidence of device’s safety and performance.

5. Regulatory submission

The final step towards regulatory compliance is a regulatory submission followed by the regulator’s decision whether your medical device can be placed on the market. In some jurisdictions the low-risk classes of medical devices do not have to be scrutinized by the regulatory agencies before they are put on the market. However, they must conform to local regulations and may be subject to surprise inspections. Success of a regulatory submission depends upon the way in which the previous steps have been made.
