The regulatory frameworks within which medical devices companies operate can be confusing and requirements are often unclear. Our Navigate consultancy service is on hand to provide direction when you need it most. Practically, Navigate is the name we give to a whole range of activities we provide under the umbrella of what is essentially consultancy. Our specialist consultants have expertise in the field of medical devices which enable us to provide reliable interpretations of regulatory and quality requirements, and then to implement effective solutions to allow these requirements to be met.
As part of Navigate, MedRAS provides Responsible Person services. Under the UK MDR 2002, non-Great Britain based manufacturers must appoint a UK based responsible person who is required to undertake a number of critical regulatory functions on behalf of, and in conjunction with the legal manufacturer. Similar requirements apply to manufacturers marketing medical devices under the EU Medical Device Regulations (EU) 2017/745. These are critical regulatory roles which require manufacturers to ensure they assign this responsibility to on-hand, qualified, and competent personnel. MedRAS has implemented processes to provide Responsible person services and holds the required experience, and competence to fulfil these roles fully in-house.
