Luckily, I learned and improved. Over time, I even took on bigger responsibilities. Some projects which I really enjoyed: - Process harmonizations for 60 sites - Setup of training programs for 1.000+ people - KPI dashboard implementations for 813 CAPAs My learnings were paired with painful experiences. I want to save you from all of them. My goal is to help you: 1. Avoid CAPA related audit findings or 483s 2. Implement meaningful metrics for your CAPAs 3.

I am an EU pharma/device lawyer and problem solver. My practice focuses on European Union (EU) and national regulatory matters involving medical devices and pharmaceutical laws and guidelines. I am following very closely the new regulations on medical devices (MDR and IVDR), the GDPR and regularly advise clients in relation to the requirements applicable to their digital health technologies. I focus particularly on the different stages of the medical device CE marking process and advise on a wide variety of topics which include the following: - determination of the appropriate classification of individual products; - clinical investigation procedure (e.g. authorisation from the EU Member States competent authorities, opinion from Ethics Committee, amendment to the Protocol, informed consent, serious adverse event qualification and notification, handling of personal data); - drafting of clinical investigation and clinical trial agreements, distribution agreements and contract manufacturing agreements; -clinical data requirements and clinical evaluation; - conformity assessment procedure; - review of Instruction For Use, products' labelling and promotional material including websites; - post-marketing surveillance activities including the notification of adverse event, product recall or product withdrawal; - preparation and review of technical documentation; - reimbursement.
