Success Stories
Challenge: A Fortune 500 medical device manufacturer needed support following an FDA medical devices warning letter.
Solution: NSF Health Sciences Medical Devices provided strategic support and hands-on consultation for a remediation effort covering the seven subsystems of the QSR. As part of this multi-phased approach, NSF Health Sciences Medical Devices led training and coaching sessions for company subject matter experts, developed the remediation program including the creation of a program charter, and built and managed the Program Management Office.
Challenge: A Fortune 500 Class II medical device manufacturer wanted to remove a consent decree.
Solution: NSF Health Sciences Medical Devices conducted a series of baseline and verification audits, and provided ongoing support following these audits at the facilities and for the products identified in the consent decree. We also served as the third-party certifier for three separate quality systems certifications as identified in the consent decree.
Challenge: A global medical device manufacturer was facing withdrawal of CE certification for its Class IIb and III products.
Solution: NSF Health Sciences Medical Devices mobilized a team of senior EU regulatory specialists to work in various locations in both the U.S. and UK. NSF acted as intermediaries between several EU competent authorities and the notified body to establish an appropriate action plan to address fundamental regulatory, product validation and quality system deficiencies. NSF coordinated and managed the implementation of regulatory and clinical processes to remediate multiple technical files leading to the successful reissue of CE certification.
