Regulatory Support

Navigating regulatory pathways is complex, but Cirtec partners with you from concept to submission to streamline the process and minimize risks.

Regulatory Strategy Development: We work with you to understand the intended use and indications early, preventing delays and rework.

Submissions & Documentation: Our experts assist with 510(k), PMA, and CE Mark submissions, ensuring technical documentation aligns with global standards.

Testing & Validation: In-house capabilities include functional testing, packaging and sterilization validation, and biocompatibility testing to meet regulatory requirements.

Environmental Control

ISO 14644 Class 7/8 cleanrooms ensure sterile builds and worldwide compliance for critical medical devices.

Class 7 and Class 8 cleanrooms support sterile builds for implantable devices, catheters, and wearables.

Cleanroom operations meet ISO 14644 standards, preventing contamination and ensuring compliance for sterile-use products.

Global Market Access: Cirtec supports 510(k) and PMA submissions for the US MDR/IVDR submissions for CE Markings for European markets, along with compliance for other OUS Regulatory body frameworks.

Lean and Continuous
Improvement 

Structured improvement methodologies optimize manufacturing processes, enhance quality, and reduce waste while increasing efficiency.

Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen methodologies reduce variability, optimize workflows, and eliminate waste.

Ongoing employee training ensures our teams are ready to meet changing regulatory demands and best practices.

Supplier Quality & Risk Management

Robust supplier oversight and ISO 14971 risk management ensure quality, traceability, and production continuity.

Supplier qualification, audits, and continuous monitoring ensure consistent material and component quality.

ISO 14971-based risk management identifies potential hazards early to avoid disruptions in production.

eDHR systems provide traceability across the supply chain, enhancing operational visibility and compliance

Process Validation & In-Process Control

Our validation processes ensure consistent product quality and reduce non-conformances.

IQ, OQ, and PQ validations verify that systems and equipment are ready for full-scale production.

In-process inspections and functional testing identify issues early to avoid costly rework and delays.

Packaging and sterilization validation ensures products maintain integrity and sterility through distribution and storage.

Document Control & Traceability

Cirtec’s automated document systems help keep your product audit-ready at every stage.

DHF, DMR, and DHR records provide complete traceability from raw materials to delivery.

Automated document control helps to ensure version consistency and seamless regulatory audits.
