From FDA Strategy to Submission

Bring Your Regulatory, Clinical, Quality, Software, And Cybersecurity Work Together—With A Team Focused On Your Path To Market.

Preparing an FDA submission takes a coordinated effort. Your intended use, testing, clinical evidence, quality processes, and technical documentation need to tell a consistent story.

RQMIS brings these disciplines together to help you identify gaps early, plan the work ahead, and prepare a clear, defensible submission.

One coordinated approach. The right expertise for your device, development stage, and submission.

Five submission types. Support tailored to each.

Find Your Starting Point

Each submission serves a different purpose. We help determine the appropriate approach and connect your regulatory strategy with the evidence needed to support it.

Pre-Submission

Seek FDA feedback before key decisions.

RQMIS helps develop focused questions, prepare the submission package, support FDA meetings, and turn feedback into practical next steps. Topics can include testing, clinical study design, software, cybersecurity, and regulatory strategy.

A Pre-Submission provides FDA feedback; it does not authorize marketing.


510(k)

Build the case for substantial equivalence.

For devices with an appropriate legally marketed predicate, RQMIS supports pathway and predicate assessment, evidence review, submission preparation, labeling alignment, and responses to FDA questions.

De Novo

Plan a pathway for novel technology.

For eligible devices of low to moderate risk without a legally marketed predicate, RQMIS helps develop the regulatory rationale and organize risk, performance, and clinical evidence to support a De Novo classification request.


IDE

Prepare for investigational device studies.

RQMIS assists with Investigational Device Exemption applications and supplements, investigational plans, study documentation, and regulatory coordination.

Significant-risk device studies require FDA and Institutional Review Board approval before beginning.

PMA

Bring the scientific evidence together.

For devices requiring Premarket Approval, RQMIS supports application preparation, integration of clinical and nonclinical evidence, FDA interactions, and supplements. The goal is a submission that supports reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the intended use.

Build the evidence. Strengthen the foundation.

The expertise behind your submission
