Regulatory Affairs

Regulatory affairs keeps a product marketable across its entire lifecycle: conformity under MDR (EU 2017/745), IVDR (EU 2017/746) and pharmaceutical law, from the technical documentation and notified-body engagement through EUDAMED registration and labeling to vigilance and post-market surveillance. We run submissions and authority interactions so that market access never fails on formal gaps.
