Regulatory & Scientific Consulting Services

Regulatory and toxicological consulting for medical devices and pharmaceuticals — supporting compliance, product safety, and market authorization at every stage.

1. Medical Devices

Medical Device Services

Biological Evaluation Plan (BEP) – ISO 10993-1

The foundational ISO 10993-1 document defining your device's body-contact category and duration, and the biological endpoints — cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, and implantation effects — that must be evaluated.

Learn more

Toxicological Risk Assessment (TRA)

Evaluates health risks from chemicals that may leach from a device's materials, comparing exposure against toxicological thresholds like the Tolerable Intake or TTC — critical for prolonged or permanent-contact devices.

Learn more

Chemical Characterization (CC) – ISO 10993-18

Identification and quantification of chemicals in or released from a device, through extractables (exaggerated conditions) and leachables (clinically relevant conditions) studies that feed directly into the risk assessment.

Learn more

Biological Evaluation Report (BER)

The culmination of the biological evaluation process — compiling all data, testing, literature, and risk assessments into the safety conclusion regulators review for FDA 510(k)/PMA or EU MDR technical files.

Learn more

Gap Analysis for Regulatory Compliance

A systematic review comparing your device's existing documentation, testing, and quality processes against current requirements (EU MDR, FDA 21 CFR, ISO standards), identifying deficiencies and a prioritized action plan — especially valuable when transitioning frameworks (e.g. MDD to MDR) or entering new markets.

ISO 18562 – Breathing Gas Pathways

Biocompatibility evaluation of breathing gas pathways in ventilators, anesthesia machines, and similar devices — covering particulate emissions, VOCs, and condensate leachables across Parts 1–4.

2. Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical Services

Hazard Identification

Reviewing the intrinsic properties of an active ingredient, excipient, or impurity — toxicological data, structure-activity relationships, and literature — to flag potential carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity.

Learn more

Exposure Assessment

Quantifying how patients are exposed to a substance — dosage, frequency, duration, and route of administration — to establish real-world exposure levels for comparison against safety thresholds.

Learn more

Regulatory Submissions

Preparing toxicology summaries and safety assessments for IND, NDA, ANDA, or Marketing Authorization Application filings in the format required by FDA, EMA, and other regulators.

Learn more

Evaluation of Impurities

Identifying, qualifying, and assessing impurities and degradation products — including genotoxic and elemental impurities — per ICH Q3A/B/C/D and M7 to set acceptable limits.

Learn more

Pharmacovigilance Support

Ongoing monitoring and reporting of adverse drug reactions — case processing, signal detection, PSURs/PBRERs, and risk management plans — to meet post-market safety obligations.

Toxicological Risk Assessment

Evaluating health risk based on chemical and exposure data.

Biological Safety Evaluation

Assessing biocompatibility in line with ISO 10993.

Gap Analysis

Exposure Assessment

Quantifying the nature, duration, and extent of patient exposure to a device or its constituents.

Regulatory Documentation Support

Preparing and reviewing the documentation regulatory submissions require.

From scoping to delivery

Our Service Delivery Process

1

Initial Scoping

We review your product, intended use, and target markets to define the right scope of work.

2

Data & Document Review

Existing technical files, material data, and prior studies are reviewed for gaps and reusable data.

3

Scientific Assessment

Our accredited toxicologists and scientists carry out the required evaluation — biological, chemical, or toxicological.

4

Report Generation

Findings are compiled into clear, regulator-ready reports and documentation.

5

Review & Delivery

Every report passes internal scientific review before delivery to ensure accuracy and defensibility.

6

Ongoing Support

We remain available to address regulator queries or follow-up requests after delivery.
