From Regulatory through Commercialization
MedTech, or medical technology, is comprised of every product, service, or solution using medical technology to improve people’s health by preventing, diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease. This includes medical devices, which are any instrument, apparatus, appliance, software, implant, reagent, material or other article intended to be used for medical treatment purposes.
Although critically important, the MedTech market can be especially demanding in terms of regulatory requirements. Additionally, the shifting MedTech market landscape can be difficult to navigate when creating and communicating value, and optimizing access.
- New regulations may lead to ambiguous regulatory outcomes
- Medical devices pose pricing and market access challenges as reimbursement requires the establishment of value for money to the payers

De-risking the regulatory process
Since the introduction of MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev 4, EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745, In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746, Brexit and multiple MDCG guidance documents, the regulatory submission process has become more complex. Technical document submissions, including clinical/performance evaluations, have been scrutinized by the notified bodies. Compliance with these regulatory changes requires a team of qualified experts.
