Quantify Your Regulatory Exposure

In Class III manufacturing, time is not just money. It is market share. Use this forensic tool to calculate your daily burn rate.

COST OF INACTION // CALCULATOR

$2MAnnual Revenue
Device Classification×1.8 Multiplier
Daily Cost of Inaction
9,863
Per Day • 295,890/Month • 3,600,000/Year

Calculations based on 2026 FDA/MDR average delay metrics and Class III clinical overhead benchmarks.

01. The "Erosion" Multiplier

Why do we apply a 1.8x risk multiplier to Class III devices? Because the cost of delay is not just operational burn (salaries, rent); it is Market Share Erosion. Industry data confirms that a product launching 6 months late can suffer a 33% reduction in 5-year profitability, compared to just 4% for a 50% budget overrun. In the MedTech "Winner-Takes-All" landscape, second place is often the first loser.

02. The 2026 QMSR Traffic Jam

The "Daily Cost" calculation assumes a standard regulatory environment. However, the Feb 2026 QMSR Transition has created a historic backlog. Notified Bodies and FDA reviewers are currently rejecting submissions for minor "Narrative Disconnects" at a record rate. Every "Day of Inaction" currently carries a higher probability of becoming a month of remediation. Speed is your only hedge against this volatility.

Why VigilaMed for Device Manufacturers?

We understand the stakes. Your compliance isn't just about paperwork — it's about patient safety, market access, and manufacturing efficiency.

The Manufacturing Challenge

  • Device recalls costing manufacturers £2M+ per incident
  • FDA 483 observations delaying product launches 6-12 months
  • ISO 13485 audits failing on CAPA and design control documentation
  • Internal quality teams overwhelmed with production pressures

Our Manufacturing-First Methodology

  • 10+ years embedded in device manufacturing environments
  • Proactive QMS design vs. reactive compliance firefighting
  • Design controls, DHF/DMR expertise, not just documentation
  • Surgical precision in audit preparation

Device Manufacturer Impact

  • 100% audit pass rate (zero major findings in 20+ audits)
  • 20% reduction in compliance cycle times
  • First-time FDA submission success (510k, PMA, De Novo)
  • Production teams stay focused on output, not paperwork
Trusted by Class III device manufacturers where audit stakes are highest

        Challenge

        Complex complaints backlog for high-risk devices, extended complaint closure timelines threatening vigilance compliance.

        Approach

        • Redesigned complaints triage process for risk-based prioritization
        • Implemented medical device reporting (MDR) workflow optimization
        • Trained complaints team on global regulations and the new process for complaint handling
        • Created cross-functional review process (R&D, Manufacturing, RA)

        Outcomes

        0%
        Reduction in complaint closure timelines
        Zero
        Observations in subsequent regulatory audit

        Surgical Instruments & Diagnostic Equipment

        Challenge

        4 manufacturing sites with inconsistent QMS and a CAPA system not working effectively

        Approach

        • Standardized SOPs across all manufacturing locations
        • Introduced six sigma methodology to CAPA process
        • Created CAPA effectiveness verification process and KPI's
        • Cross site training provided

        Outcomes
