Our U.S. FDA Regulatory Services
FDA Regulatory Strategy
We develop practical U.S. regulatory strategies based on your device, intended use, risk profile, technology, and commercialization objectives. Our support can include regulatory pathway assessment, submission planning, documentation strategy, and regulatory gap identification.
Medical Device Classification & Regulatory Pathway Assessment
We evaluate your medical device and help determine the appropriate U.S. regulatory pathway.
Depending on the device and its characteristics, potential pathways may include 510(k), De Novo, PMA, or applicable exemptions. FDA explains that 510(k), De Novo, and PMA pathways are generally selected based on device risk and the availability of an appropriate predicate.
510(k) Submission Support
Our team provides comprehensive support for 510(k) premarket notification submissions, including regulatory strategy, documentation development, submission preparation, and review.
We help organize the required technical and regulatory information into a structured submission designed to support FDA review. FDA identifies Traditional, Special, and Abbreviated 510(k) formats and provides specific content requirements for 510(k) submissions.
De Novo Submission Support
For eligible novel medical devices without an appropriate legally marketed predicate, we provide De Novo Classification Request support. Our services can include pathway assessment, regulatory strategy, documentation preparation, submission review, and response support. FDA describes De Novo as a risk-based pathway that can classify certain novel devices into Class I or Class II.
FDA Pre-Submission & Regulatory Meeting Support
We help organizations prepare for interactions with FDA, including:
- Pre-Submission strategy
- Meeting preparation
- Regulatory questions
- Supporting documentation
- Presentation materials
- Meeting briefing packages
- Response and follow-up documentation
Our goal is to help clients enter regulatory discussions with a clear strategy and well-structured questions.
FDA Submission Preparation & Review
We support the preparation and review of FDA regulatory submissions to help ensure documentation is complete, consistent, organized, and aligned with applicable requirements.
Our review process focuses on:
- Regulatory consistency
- Document completeness
- Technical documentation organization
- Cross-document consistency
- Submission readiness
- Quality review
FDA Correspondence & Response Support
FDA review may generate requests for additional information or clarification.
Our team can support organizations in preparing structured responses, reviewing supporting documentation, coordinating subject-matter input, and maintaining consistency across regulatory communications.
FDA Establishment Registration & Device Listing Support
We provide support for U.S. medical device establishment registration and device listing, including preparation and review of required information.
FDA requires applicable medical device establishments to register annually and generally requires establishments to list the devices they manufacture and the activities performed on those devices.
Important: FDA registration or device listing does not itself represent FDA approval or clearance of a company or product.
UDI & GUDID Support
We support organizations with Unique Device Identification (UDI) and Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) activities.
Our services can include:
- UDI data preparation
- GUDID data support
- Data review
- Device information organization
- Regulatory documentation support
FDA’s UDI framework requires applicable device labels and packages to include a unique device identifier, subject to applicable exceptions or alternatives, and requires specified information to be submitted to GUDID.
U.S. Regulatory Representation
For eligible clients, we provide U.S. regulatory representation support to facilitate communication and coordination related to U.S. regulatory activities.
The exact scope of representation will be defined based on the client’s regulatory requirements and written engagement.
U.S. Agent Services
Where legally permitted and expressly agreed upon, we can provide or coordinate U.S. Agent services for applicable foreign medical device companies.
The specific responsibilities and scope will be established in writing based on the client’s regulatory obligations.

Our role is to help organizations better understand and address regulatory and quality requirements as they prepare for commercialization, audits, or other regulatory activities.
