You want to get your product to market as quickly as possible, but to do so, you need to ensure you are complying with the strict regulations mandated across the medical device industry. Failing to do so can put your business—and more importantly, your end-users—at risk. Navigating the murky waters of the European Union’s (EU) conformité européenne (CE) Mark regulatory requirements, and knowing which ones your device is subject to, can be daunting, even for the most established medical device manufacturers. This is especially true with the EU’s transition from the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) system to the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) system.
Sterling can help.
Before bringing a medical device to market in the EU and other parts of the world that follow CE Mark regulation, it is essential to determine applicable regulatory requirements it must adhere to in order to ensure patient and user safety. With Sterling’s regulatory strategy support, we offer services to help you identify and address key CE Mark requirements for your device including:

Startups are the lifeblood of medical device innovation. Without universities researching ways to solve pressing healthcare problems or doctors with experience in a particular field who have an idea to develop a prototype medical device that could help patients, the future technologies needed to help save lives wouldn't happen. But the long, arduous road through the FDA submission process to get market approval can take a long time and cost a lot of money without help. Sterling Medical Devices has been helping startups through the FDA approval process since 1998 without ever having a submission rejected.
