TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION & MEDICAL WRITING SERVICES

To accurately summarize the essential data acquired during the development of a medical device product, regulatory papers necessitate strong scientific and technical knowledge.

The technical documents contain extensive information such as the medical device’s design, operation, composition, usage, claims, biological and clinical assessment and the post-market surveillance process. A technical file is necessary for all device classes (Class I, IIa, IIb, and III), however no two technical files are the exact since the information contained in the technical file is determined by the device classification. Depending on your device classification, a Notified Body is required to examine the technical documentation or a Competent Authority may request the technical package review. It is critical to understand how to develop and compile this data and present it to Notified Bodies for review.
