    Summary

    In this conversation, panelists discuss the crucial role of Notified Bodies in the EU regulatory environment for IVDs and medical devices. They highlight the challenges faced by manufacturers due to changing regulations and the consultative nature of Notified Bodies, emphasizing the differences between the decentralized EU regulatory structure and the US system.

    The panelists provide updates on the extended transition timelines for IVDR implementation and introduce the concept of structured dialogue as a means to address uncertainties and provide clarity for manufacturers. They also delve into the importance of governance for Notified Bodies in assessing regulatory changes and ensuring compliance.

    The expertise and qualifications of Notified Body personnel are emphasized, with a focus on their technical background, skills, and attitude. Manufacturers are encouraged to provide clear and comprehensive technical documentation to facilitate effective interactions with Notified Bodies.

    The role of Team NB in harmonizing processes among Notified Bodies is discussed, along with the potential limitations of relying solely on MedTech Europe guidance, which represents industry perspectives and may not fully align with regulatory requirements.

    Throughout the conversation, the panelists share their backgrounds and expertise in the IVD and medical device regulatory field, providing valuable insights into the complex landscape of EU regulations and the critical role played by Notified Bodies in ensuring compliance and market access for manufacturers.

    Takeaways

    Notified Bodies are essential for ensuring compliance and market access for IVDs and medical devices in the EU. Manufacturers must navigate a challenging and evolving regulatory landscape, working closely with Notified Bodies to address uncertainties and maintain compliance. Clear technical documentation, expertise, and harmonized processes are key factors in fostering successful interactions between manufacturers and Notified Bodies. While industry guidance can be helpful, manufacturers must ultimately ensure their compliance with the official regulatory requirements.

  • In this special bonus clip from our Excellence Spotlight series, Sr. Director of Data Operations (Clinical Trials) Noel Keegan takes a deep dive into clinical data management.

    From the transition to electronic systems to the exciting potential of AI, Noel reflects on the evolution he's witnessed over his 16+ year career. He breaks down the key aspects of data management across the study lifecycle:

    ๐Ÿ Study Start-Up: Collaborating with cross-functional teams to build user-friendly, robust databases with carefully considered edit checks.

    ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Ongoing Maintenance: Proactively cleaning data, generating oversight listings, and locking data progressively to ensure smooth deliverables later on.

    ๐ŸŽฏ Database Lock: Achieving efficiencies that enable rapid timelines from last patient visit to lock.

    Noel also discusses key differences in data management approaches between medical devices, IVDs, and pharma. While the core principles of data reliability and integrity are universal, he notes the generally "lighter touch" in MedTech vs. the extensive external data reconciliation often required in pharma.

    This discussion is a great example of the critical thinking required to deliver top-tier data management services customized to each client's unique needs. This is what we do at RQM+. Thank you to Noel for this look at what goes on behind the curtain to ensure the success of the clinical trials we support!

  • While we believe you will find Nancy's story and advice inspiring without visuals, we encourage you to watch the video version containing a brief presentation on the RQM+ website here.

    In this heartfelt and insightful video presentation, now available on our blog, Nancy Morrison, RAC shares her journey and the lessons she's learned along the way. Nancy is as highly a respected professional as you'll ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ find in regulatory affairs and as she embarks on her well-deserved retirement, she generously takes the time to impart her wisdom and provide guidance to those aspiring to build a successful career in regulatory affairs. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ

    In her presentation, which features a brief introduction from RQM+ VP of Global Regulatory Affairs, Jaishankar Kutty, Ph.D., Nancy discusses the importance of embracing challenges, building credibility, and fostering positive relationships with colleagues and regulatory bodies. She emphasizes the significance of understanding the "why" behind regulations and encourages others to seek new opportunities and innovative approaches.

    She also shares the story of her son Matthew, who relies on numerous medical devices daily. This personal connection underscores the crucial role regulatory affairs professionals play in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of products that directly impact patients' lives. ๐Ÿฆผ

    We believe Nancy's insights and personal story will inspire everyone, but especially those in RA/QA. Her words can help guide your own career path and help you to navigate the complexities of the regulated industry with confidence and purpose.

    And from RQM+, Nancy... we couldn't possibly put into words how much we appreciate you and the positive contributions you've made to our clients over the years. You've changed the MedTech industry for the better in immeasurable ways. Thank you. ๐Ÿ™

    With that said, she's not done yet! Join Nancy on Tuesday, 16 April for her live webinar: Aligning Your QMS with the FDA's QMSR Updates. See this link for more information and to register (or watch on demand after 16 April).

    In our newest interview, we're thrilled to showcase Vice President of Strategic Regulatory Affairs, Dr. Sew-Wah Tay. It was tough to share just a single quote from this interview! Jaishankar Kutty, Ph.D. definitely helped bring out the best in Sew-Wah.

    With a rich background in science and engineering, Sew-Wah's had an incredible career. She's a master of interdisciplinary innovation and can skillfully navigate regulations and clinical trials... all with a commitment to teamwork.

    She also refuses to give up in the face of seemingly impossible challenges. We could share some quotes from her around that but we encourage you to watch the interview to hear them right from Sew-Wah. ๐ŸŽง

  • RQM+ Vice President of Global Regulatory Affairs (and former BSI), Jaishankar Kutty, Ph.D., discusses the process of reviewing clinical evaluation reports (CERs) by notified body reviewers under the EU MDR in our newest video clip.

    In the end and more than anything, manufacturers must provide a clear and comprehensive story in their CERs to facilitate the review process. ๐Ÿ“–

    Highlights:

    Notified body reviewers play a crucial role in the review process of clinical evaluation reports (CERs) under the MDR. Manufacturers should appreciate the challenges faced by notified bodies and provide clear and comprehensive information in their CERs. The review process is time-constrained, and reviewers rely on sampling and calibration to navigate through the documentation. Different reviewers may generate different questions based on their background and experience, but the goal is to enable an effective review of the CER.

    ๐Ÿ”ฌ Kaitlin Lerner is "that chemist" with a Gibbs free energy tattoo. As Director of Operations, she's also one of the most brilliant minds on the RQM+ Lab Services / Jordi Labs team.

    In this week's Excellence Spotlight interview, she shares her fascinating journey with Lab Services Chief of Staff, Christine Santagate, RAC (welcome to the Excellence Spotlight, Christine ๐Ÿ‘‹).

    ๐ŸŽ“ With roots deeply planted in analytical and physical chemistry from Boston College and a Master's from Illinois Institute of Technology, Kaitlin's dedication to mastering the science behind medical devices and pharmaceuticals โ€“ paired with her passion for improving lab operations โ€“ has led to truly transformative (no exaggeration) innovations at RQM+ / Jordi Labs.

    Kaitlin is an enormous reason RQM+ / Jordi Labs is often referred to as the โ€˜Gold Standardโ€™ in extractable-leachable testing and is held in extremely high regard by the FDA.

    ๐Ÿงฝ Her advice to aspiring scientists? Be a sponge. Absorb knowledge, engage in diverse projects, and never shy away from asking why. This curiosity and commitment to continuous learning is why Kaitlin is at the forefront of her field today.
