Regulation without borders

Starting two new client projects this week, one on food supplements in France and one on in-vitro diagnostics in Germany, both in womens health!

Very few medtech consultants would feel comfortable touching other verticals (even from MDR to IVDR). But my career started like that when, honestly, I didn't have a choice! Now it's what I enjoy the most, and what I built my agency around.

The hard competences boil down to a few common traits, irrespective of sectors, regs and countries:
➡️ Regulatory definition / classification
➡️ Manufacturing requirements
➡️ Claims and label compliance
➡️ Responsible Person / Entity role
➡️ Notification / Submission procedures
➡️ Review interaction
➡️ Launch and Distribution
➡️ Post-market reporting

After all, it's all about health accountability, and humans have really one way of expecting it - the rest is often noise.

Personally, I find it super fun to come across these analogies, transfer learnings from one area to another and even anticipate cross-sector currents. Excited to get going!
