Compliance Services

Our broad range of compliance services are designed to help small and medium sized companies maintain compliance with the ever-increasing quantity and authority of regulatory agencies' requirements while exercising cost control through the elimination of redundancies and streamlining overcompliance.

Quality Systems
Whether you are starting up a new company, preparing for ISO 9000 or 13485/8 certification or FDA inspection, or attempting to bring a costly, overcompliant certified quality system in line with budget, The CRO Group consultants have worked for both leading Registrars/Notified Bodies and medical device manufacturers, and are uniquely qualified to provide a solution tailored to your company, easy to implement, and not requiring excessive overhead to maintain.
Clinical Investigations
As a result of changes to the 21CFR812 regulation (Investigational Device Exemption) as well as harmonized guidance documents,  compliance is expected to be demonstrated by monitoring or audit.  The CRO Group are specialists at conducting these audits, or setting you up to do it yourself.
MDR- EU Vigilance (MDV) -Canadian (AER)
The CRO Group can help you set up your MDR (Medical Device Reporting) system for reporting adverse events in compliance with 21 CFR 803, as well as expand your MDR system so that it complies with the EU Vigilance (MDV)  and the Canadian AER (Adverse Event Reporting) requirements. whether you currently do this manually, with a purchased software program, or a "home brewed" one.
Advertising & Promotion
FDA has historically treated company Internet websites as advertising and considers advertising to be regulated under 21 CFR 801 and 807.  Many companies which have made additional product claims (ex. heals wounds in minutes, genetically detects pneumonia) not within their FDA product submission have received warning letters charging misbranding of products due to false or misleading information.  The CRO Group can help you keep your website in compliance with FDA's policy on advertising and promotion.  If you're starting from scratch, The CRO Group can develop and implement a website that complies with FDA policy and may even improve your international marketing efforts
Electronic Signature/Records
The FDA with little advance warning, rescinded the many guidances and declared that several of the most difficult requirements of Part 11, including the generation of unalterable audit trails was being placed on a discretionary exemption for legacy systems (prior to the issuance of the regulation) and where the regulated company relied and maintained a paper record which could be relied upon for compliance with another regulation..  The CRO Group can perform gap analysis and remediation services to get your electronic systems into compliance.
US Agent / EU Authorized Representative
The CRO Group is registered as a US Agent for foreign medical device manufacturers.  We also maintain an office in Europe to act as your Authorized Representative which is a requirement for all medical and IVD CE Marked devices.
