    Why you need an expert PMA consultant

    Premarket Approval represents the FDA's rigorous and comprehensive review process, designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of Class III medical devices. Given the high stakes involved, the FDA has determined that mere general and special controls are inadequate to guarantee these devices' safety and effectiveness.

    PMA stands as the most exacting form of device marketing application mandated by the FDA. Before these products can enter the US market, applicants must secure FDA approval for their PMA application. A skilled medical device regulatory consultant is vital for guiding you through the PMA process. Our consultants ensure you smoothly navigate through this complex path, deeply understand your device, and foresee potential challenges.

    Over the many years we've spent helping device firms gain Premarket Approval, we've seen companies realize they need expert help in a number of areas, including but not limited to the following:

    • Regulatory Strategy for Marketing Approval: Developing a robust regulatory strategy that aligns with marketing goals is critical. This includes understanding FDA requirements for marketing a medical device, identifying the appropriate regulatory pathway, and planning for potential regulatory challenges.
    • Clinical Data and Evidence Presentation: Clinical data is a cornerstone of the PMA process. Our regulatory consultants help in effectively presenting clinical trial data to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the device. This involves statistical analysis, interpretation of clinical study results, and preparation of comprehensive summaries for the FDA.
    • Labeling and Promotional Material Review: Accurate and compliant labeling and promotional materials are essential for marketing. Our consultants review and advise on labeling, advertising, and promotional materials to ensure they meet regulatory standards and accurately represent the device.
    • Technical Documentation and Submission Preparation: Preparing the PMA submission requires comprehensive technical documentation. Our consultants aid in compiling, reviewing, and organizing the necessary documents, including preclinical and clinical data, to meet the stringent requirements of the FDA.
    • Quality Systems and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP): Compliance with Quality System Regulations (QSR) and GMP is essential. We routinely help in setting up and auditing quality systems, ensuring that the manufacturing process meets all regulatory standards.
    • Compliance with Post-Market Requirements: Post-market surveillance and reporting are crucial even after the marketing phase begins. Our consultants can guide the implementation of systems for monitoring the device's performance in the market and reporting any adverse events or other required data to the FDA.
