FDA Regulatory Strategic Planning

What are mdi’s FDA Regulatory Strategic Planning Services?

Given that we understand the product development process, the FDA submission process and the interplay between these processes, we can craft a regulatory strategy based on your situation. This strategy will include thinking through what actions you take, what you document, what submission process to take, how to structure your clinical trial, etc.

How can mdi assist you?

Many clients underestimate the economic value of a carefully thought out FDA regulatory strategy. Because of our experience and understanding of the FDA, through careful planning we can help you to:

  1. Plan for an FDA investigation and guide you in responding to the Agency and their concerns.
  2. Properly manage recalls. Recalls can be very costly and cause terrible damage to your reputation. Identifying and implementing actions for a recall that would be acceptable to the Agency can save money, your reputation and duplication of efforts.

FDA Quality System Strategy

What are mdi’s FDA Quality System Strategy Services?

  • Assuring FDA compliance to quality system requirements is critical for all medical companies. The quality system requirements are defined by QSR (Quality System Regulations) /cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines which are specified by the FDA.
  • The process by which to achieve compliance to these requirements is different for each company. For example, large companies may need to prioritize geographically-different operations based on size/importance and implement systems accordingly. A smaller company may need to prioritize which elements of the quality system to implement first) in order to get in compliance quickly.
