Then Maintain Your Market Advantage with Agile Compliance ### We help engineering teams navigate the FDA and get their software into the hands of doctors and patients. If you don't have a team, we can also help build your software.

## SaMD Teams have a Common Problem ### The engineers are at capacity building the device's final features, but you still need to complete the design, risk, and cybersecurity documentation for the upcoming 510(k) submission. It's unclear how everything will be completed on time, and extending the deadline is not an option. You may need to submit your work in time for the next big industry conference, or you may have investor milestones tied to clearance, or perhaps you are just anxious to take your startup to the next stage. ## Everyone has templates, but nobody has examples There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Processes and templates designed for hardware, or Software in a Medical Device (SiMD), will overcomplicate things. It can be hard to get started without relevant, concrete examples. Most regulatory consultants are not software engineers. Therefore, while they can provide templates and high-level guidance, they may not be familiar with the tools your engineers use. Additionally, they may not be able to read the code and provide customized advice or concrete examples.

## Don't drown in the compliance waterfall Software changes more rapidly than hardware, often requiring updates to address AI/ML, cybersecurity, and interoperability concerns. The mismatch between regulations written for hardware and the realities of modern software development further complicates matters. Additionally, multiple software-specific FDA guidance and standards must be followed to bring a device to market, including cybersecurity, off-the-shelf software, interoperability, other-device functions, SaMD clinical evaluation, general software validation, IEC62304, and more. If your team is busy and has no prior experience with 510(k)s, it could take up to twelve months to gather all the necessary information. ## The Pitfalls of Doing it Yourself will Waste Time: ![](https://innolitics.com/img/510k-do-it-yourself.png) ### Imagine, instead, that you have someone who will draft your 510(k) documents, drive the process, and save months of effort. ## We Can Get You There Faster: ![](https://innolitics.com/img/510k-with-innolitics.png) ### We help our clients accomplish this.

## Guaranteed Results ### 1. Your first 510(k) will be submitted in as little as 3 months ### 2. Your 510(k) will be cleared And if its not cleared, it won't be due to missing documentation. ## Imagine feeling confident that your 510(k) will be done on time... ### ... and that you have a QMS that keeps your team agile. Medtech startups can double in value, or even more, upon successful clearance. What would it mean for your business if you could submit your 510(k) in just 4 months? How would it affect your valuation and investment prospects? What would it mean if your team could compile future 510(k)s in 2 months? How would this enable you to out-compete the competition?

## Don't Let Delays Dampen your Vision Imagine being able to bring your product to market 6 or even 9 months sooner. What would that do for your business? Could it give you an edge over your competitors? What features could your engineers develop if they focused on software development rather than regulatory documentation? How much revenue could you generate if you launched faster? We collaborate with clients who understand the impact their device will have once it hits the market. They have a grand vision and a long list of improvements they want their engineers to make. Their first 510(k) is just one of many. For these reasons, they are happy to pay an expert firm that can shorten their time-to-market and will set them up with an agile approach to compliance in the future. Every month of delay means lost revenue. Every month their engineers spend working on documentation is a missed opportunity to build a new feature. ## Our SaMD Development Process ![](https://innolitics.com/img/fast-510k-process.png) ### This is not for you if... - You want to check off a box without genuinely trying to make a safe and effective product - You are not interested in creating a culture of quality - You don't believe your device will generate \$1M or more in its first year on the market (and thus don't see the value in getting there sooner) - Your product is not Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) *Note: AI/ML add-ons to hardware devices can often be a sold as an SaMD add-on* ### This is for you if... - Your software is nearing completion and you're in a hurry to submit a 510(k) or de novo. - You're looking to set up an agile QMS designed for SaMD. - You're in need of a software engineering team who can take you all the way to market and beyond. - You're confident your device will succeed, you have a big vision, and you see every month of delays as costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. ## Why Innolitics? You may be wondering how we can guarantee that a 510(k) will be complete in 4 months when it often takes more than 12. There are two main reasons: 1. We speak both software and regulatory; we have a close-knit team of software engineers and regulatory experts. 2. Medtech OS ### Medtech OS Medtech OS is our platform that we use to get SaMD on the market. It's purpose built by engineers who've struggled getting medical devices on the market the hard way for over a decade. It's more than an eQMS, it's a fully customizable operating system, built on Notion, that will help your team get to market quickly. It's the central tool that empowers us to move so quickly.
