Alongside our deep experience navigating EU regulatory pathways, we also provide strategic and operational support for FDA submissions, including pre‑submissions, 510(k), and PMA applications. We maintain full European oversight and management of clinical studies to ensure high‑quality execution and regulatory readiness across regions.
