Client Background:

This client, a UK-Based multinational giant, required our help to replace products impacted by planned obsolescence.

They hoped to build upon the product’s features in a customer-valued manner while maintaining compliance with several electrical standards (IEC60601-1 3rd Ed) while achieving compliance with new standards (IEC60601-1-11; Home-Use Devices).

The product is in routine use in hospitals but also travels between the patient’s home and outpatient facilities, as the patient recuperates over weeks or months.


Client’s Request(s):

The client requested that we link newly acquired products into the portfolio, and revise existing products to make them home-use compliant. Additionally, we were asked to:

  • Provide corrective actions to recent 483s and Warning Letters

  • Assist in usability testing to support products’ and accessories’ release

  • Support Risk Management and Software Compliance from development to product launch.


Project Actions:

In addition to the services listed above, we also provided root cause analysis, problem-solving, and activities related to return-to-market for the previously-withdrawn products (due to FDA Warning Letter).


Outcome:

The efforts concluded in the successful return of the product to the market by addressing the issues enumerated within the FDA’s letter.

Also, we achieved compliance with the following standards:

  • IEC 60601-1

  • IEC 60601-1-2

  • IEC 60601-1-8

  • IEC 60601-1-11

  • IEC 62304

  • IEC 62366

  • ISO 14971

Finally, our staff assisted onsite and in teleconferences with the FDA to achieve a successful 510(k) clearance.
