FDA Regulatory ConsultingAI/ML

The Problem

A software as a medical device company had just received their 510k clearance and is now on the market selling product. They know the countdown to an FDA audit has started, but they are not exactly sure when the FDA will show up at their doorstep. In order to get ahead of an FDA audit, they were looking for consultants with software experience and experience with the FDA quality system regulation in order to identify gaps in their quality system before the FDA can identify them, thereby reducing the chance of an FDA hold letter which could get them shut down.

The Outcome

We provided an extensive gap analysis that resulted in corrective actions being performed just in time for an FDA audit, it is unlikely that the gap assessment could have been performed during the FDA audit, which the client has passed with very little findings due to our gap analysis and recommendations.

The Solution

We worked with the client to answer the following questions and identify the path of least resistance for remediation.
