ISO 13485 Certification

Gaining ISO 13485 Certification is essential for any organisation to demonstrate its ability to manufacture medical devices / In-vitro diagnostic devices and related services that consistently meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements. Our experienced team can devise an appropriate Quality System for you and ensure you meet the ISO 13485 standard. 

EUAR

EU Authorised Representative Service

In accordance with European Regulation, a European Authorised Representative is required for manufacturers of medical devices and IVDs who are located outside of Europe.  Acorn Regulatory has been supporting medical device manufacturers located outside of Europe as their Authorised Representative for over a decade, including the USA, Asia and The UK.  Located in Ireland, we are registered with HPRA as an economic operator and have our unique single registration number (SRN) from Eudamed.

PRRC

Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance

The role of QP is a familiar one for those working in the Pharmaceutical sector, but this is the first time in European medical devices legislation that a person is required to be appointed by a manufacturer to take specific responsibility for regulatory compliance of devices. Article 15 of MDR 2017/745 sets out the details of the person responsible for regulatory compliance. It requires that manufacturers shall have available within their organisation at least one person responsible for regulatory compliance who possesses the requisite expertise in the field of medical devices.  For micro and smaller manufacturers (i.e. <50 employees), Acorn Regulatory can act as your PRRC. 

Vigilance

Post Marketing Surveillance & Device Vigilance

Effective post-market surveillance and vigilance systems are legal requirements of your CE Mark Certification. If you are unsure of the vigilance reporting requirements in Europe or need help devising a robust post-marketing surveillance strategy, then we can assist your company. We will ensure that you are compliant with the appropriate European legislation.
