Services Overview

“Regulatory Affairs” encompass the activities required to ensure the legal compliance of medical device companies. These activities establish and maintain the structure necessary to legally market a device. Ken Block Consulting specializes in regulatory affairs related to medical devices and medical device companies.
 

Regulatory Requirements:

Successful medical device companies have a comprehensive understanding of regulatory requirements. Specific documentation, record keeping, submissions, and assignments are required by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.

Ken Block Consulting has a high level of expertise in FDA regulatory compliance, in both detailed knowledge of requirements and implementation of compliance mechanisms. We also have direct experience interacting with FDA personnel during inspections, submission reviews, and meetings.
 

Regulatory Services Provided:

Ken Block Consulting offers a variety of services to address the needs of medical device inventors and companies, both those that are new to FDA regulations and those that have established regulatory affairs departments in need of additional assistance.
