Why Remediation
Product quality and regulatory compliance for medical devices are one of the most stringent requirements that contribute to product success and access to the markets. The total cost of quality for the medical device industry, including the cost and revenue loss from the quality and regulatory issues can be up to 20 percent of industry revenue.
Remediation is a complex, time-consuming task but also a key strategy for the medical devices industry to gain/ retain market access, ensure conformance to evolving standards and regulations and keep their products relevant. Planned remediation can help to keep the costs down to a small fraction of what the costs could be due to a recall or adverse reviews by the authorities especially when up to 80 percent of product launch cost is consumed on regulatory conformance activities across the product lifecycle.
Remediation requires expertise and a clear understanding of procedures and risk management associated with the product lifecycle.
