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
