Our regulatory specialists

We work with customers from many different sectors.  Common to most is an increased focus on consistency between product and requirements and regulations that are constantly being updated, i.e. "product compliance". The healthcare sector, especially the area that includes medical devices, is in a special position.  

Inventas is certified according to ISO13485 and we have expertise in the regulatory field within medical devices. In practice, this means that our team of regulatory specialists helps you ensure that your product meets the requirements set by the regulations and applicable standards. 

As your regulatory advisor, we assess the mechanisms that govern the approval and market access of your product. We also help you define the quality, safety, performance and liability requirements for your specific product, both before and after the product is placed on the market. 

If you are developing new medical devices, it is particularly important that the development process and solutions meet international and national requirements. We guide you through relevant regulations and standards. These may include the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR), ISO13485, which describes a quality management system, as well as standards for risk management, user testing and clinical evaluation.

We offer strategic consulting services for the development and approval of medical devices, as well as first-class expertise in regulatory issues, quality management, user testing and pre-clinical work. 

As your sparring partner, we guide you safely through the jungle of regulatory principles, quality and risk management to ensure that your particular idea succeeds in the market. 

We are happy to follow you from start to finish, to ensure that you achieve your goals and that your product gets to market as quickly as possible. We help you structure processes, develop quality systems, write and quality assure documentation, and coordinate the project and the actors involved. 

Regulatory plan

Classification of the product according to relevant legislation is crucial for you and your product, as this defines the product and forms the basis for your product development plan to meet the necessary requirements and find its way to the market. Developing a medical device requires a quality system that complies with ISO 13485, and by following this system, you ensure that the entire process from design and development to testing, approval and production is carried out and documented in accordance with applicable regulations. 

Working on a regulatory plan also reveals which standards and requirements must be met for your specific product. Our experts structure further plans for your product, including documentation plan, test and validation plan, clinical evaluation, CE marking and market access, and coordinate outsourcing to third parties if necessary.

QMS & Usability Engineering (UE)

Usability engineering, also known as human factors engineering, is a methodological approach that focuses on how people actually use your product. The goal is to reduce the risk of user error and ensure that the product is both intuitive and safe.

IEC 62366 is an international standard, developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), that sets guidelines for the quality of use of medical devices. The standard requires manufacturers to implement specific steps in the development process to ensure that the devices are safe and easy to use. In this way, manufacturers can document that their products meet regulatory requirements for both FDA approval in the United States and CE marking in the European Union.

In practice, this means that manufacturers must be able to demonstrate thorough testing and risk analyses that prove that the product can be used safely by healthcare professionals and patients.
