Gap Analysis of Your Technical Documentation

Your structured path to successful approval of medical devices and IVDs – tailored to your business, your markets and your team.

Whether you wish to have structural gaps identified as part of a basic review or require a detailed, thoroughly researched content review of your technical documentation: we ensure regulatory compliance and predictability for your product (MDR & IVDR).

 

The Challenge: Incomplete Documentation Delays Market Entry

Prior to the planned submission to a Notified Body or the FDA, companies regularly face complex regulatory issues regarding their technical documentation:

  • Are all the documents required by law available and compiled in a clear, organised manner?
  • Do the existing documents cover all applicable regulatory requirements and current guidelines?
  • Does the product documentation fully comply with the requirements of the MDR or IVDR (Annexes II and III)?
  • Do the files meet the requirements for a 510(k) submission or a de novo procedure?
  • Have critical areas such as risk management, software or cybersecurity been developed and documented in a compliant manner?

A lack of clarity and undetected gaps lead to delays, significant additional costs and time-consuming rework later in the authorisation process.

The solution: Leverage Our Expertise in Gap Analysis

We Offer:
  • Clear insight into the current maturity of your documentation
  • Precise identification of non-conformities and gaps in relation to regulatory requirements
  • An experienced, international team of experts who will review your documentation specifically for the EU and the US (FDA); other markets available on request
  • Concrete, actionable recommendations for addressing the identified non-conformities and gaps

Two Paths to a Successful Approval

Choose the approach that best suits your current stage – from a formal and structural basic review to a comprehensive, detailed review of the content carried out by our subject matter experts.

 

Option 1: Basic Review of Your Technical Documentation

Formal analysis and structured check for completeness, tailored specifically to your product.

We carry out a formal review of your technical documentation against the requirements of the target market. The aim is to determine quickly and reliably whether all legally required documents are present and plausible

Scope of services:

  • Formal review of the documentation for completeness in relation to the requirements of the target market (e.g. MDR, Annexes II and III, FDA 510(k) or De Novo)
  • Verification that documents are compiled in a clear, organised and comprehensible manner
  • Point-by-point review of the plausibility of the entire documentation
    Written audit report clearly listing any discrepancies found and missing documents
    Identification of unmet requirements and specific recommendations for improvement 

Your benefit: You will receive a clear status report within a short time, know exactly which documents are still missing for submission, and can plan and prioritise the next tasks precisely. 

Suitable for you: If you wish to obtain a quick, well-founded overview of the formal completeness of your files and rule out major errors before submission.

Option 2: Detailed Review of Your Technical Documentation

An in-depth review of the content to provide a solid and well-founded basis for planning your submission

This option goes beyond a formal review and combines structural analysis (basic review) with an in-depth review of the content carried out by specialist subject matter experts. Our findings report provides you with the basis for addressing any gaps in the content

Scope of services:

  • Stage 1: Structural review of the documentation for completeness and plausibility (basic review) 
  • Stage 2: Detailed substantive review of the existing documentation by technical and industry experts to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and guidelines (e.g. MDCG, FDA Guidance)
  • Flexible, modular review of selected aspects (e.g. risk management file, software documentation, usability engineering file or cybersecurity file)
  • Written review report clearly listing any non-conformities and missing documents identified during the basic and detailed reviews

Your benefit: You receive an in-depth substantive assessment of your documentation, know exactly where regulatory requirements and guidelines are not being met, and can plan and prioritise the revision of the content with precision.

Ideal for you: If you require comprehensive substantive validation of your technical documentation for internal stakeholders or for an upcoming international approval (EU/USA).

Important note on cooperation

These services involve simply assessing and identifying gaps. They do not include active support in rectifying these discrepancies. We are happy to provide you with a separate, bespoke quote for this once the gap analysis has been completed.
