In this episode, Aouda Ouzza is helping us understand when the Regulatory Affairs person is needed during the design phase. The problem that we will uncover here is the fact that in most cases the design team are calling the Regulatory Affairs person on a project when they have finished everything and they need this person to take care of the registration before launch. But this is wrong, and we'll let you know when and why you should involve them earlier. Listen to this episode.  Who is Aouda Ouzzaa?  Aouda Ouzzaa brings over 16 years of expertise in Regulatory Affairs (RA) and Quality Assurance (QA), supporting the entire product lifecycle—from development to post-market surveillance. She has successfully led projects across pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices (EU MDR), cosmetics, and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).  Her global regulatory knowledge spans EMA, FDA, GCC, and Rest of World (ROW) markets. Aouda has hands-on experience preparing IND, BLA submissions, and securing orphan drug designations.  As a certified GMP and GDP auditor, Aouda has worked closely with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with international standards while optimizing regulatory interactions.

Are you new to the medical device industry—or mentoring someone who is? In this foundational episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, host Etienne Nichols sits down with Sara Adams and Chris Rush from Greenlight Guru to deliver a MedTech 101 masterclass. They unpack the roles, regulations, and realities of medical device development in a heavily regulated space. From defining what actually counts as a medical device to navigating FDA classifications and global regulations, the trio offers practical insights, industry analogies, and personal war stories that make this episode as entertaining as it is educational. Whether you're in R&D, marketing, clinical, or quality, this is the episode to bookmark and share with every new hire.Key Timestamps02:20 – What counts as a medical device? Intended use and labeling06:48 – Differentiating roles: Quality, Regulatory, Clinical, R&D, and Marketing15:40 – Understanding regulatory bodies: FDA, EU MDR, Health Canada, and more20:15 – FDA Classifications: Class I, II, III, and what determines risk26:00 – Standards to know: ISO 13485, 14971, 14155, 21 CFR Part 82033:05 – FDA pathways: 510(k), De Novo, PMA – when and why they apply41:55 – The design control matrix explained (User Needs through Validation)49:00 – Reverse engineering design controls: pitfalls and best practices55:30 – Clinical trials vs. preclinical studies: When each is required1:00:45 – Manufacturing & supplier controls: operations meets compliance1:04:15 – Final advice for MedTech newcomers: Read the regs and know the problemQuotes“Just because you don't call it a medical device doesn't mean the FDA agrees with you.” – Sarah AdamsThis quote highlights a key regulatory pitfall: your marketing claims, not just your label, determine if the FDA considers your product a medical device.“A 510(k) is like someone checking your wristband at the door—you're cleared to go in. A PMA? That's a locked door and you need full approval to enter.” – Chris RushA memorable analogy that demystifies the difference between FDA clearance and approval pathways.Top TakeawaysLabeling + Intended Use = Regulatory TriggerWhether it's software or a simple tool, if your product makes medical claims or supports medical decision-making, it may fall under FDA or other international regulatory oversight.Regulatory Pathways Are Tied to Risk and NoveltyKnow the difference between a 510(k), De Novo, and PMA. Class II “me-too” devices may avoid clinical trials, while Class III and novel devices usually require significant evidence.Understand Design Controls EarlyReverse-engineering documentation late in development is risky and inefficient. Start early with user needs and build forward through the five pillars: inputs, outputs, verification, and validation.Cross-functional Understanding Prevents Compliance GapsMarketing, clinical, and R&D all influence regulatory standing. Even social media likes can trigger off-label scrutiny—every department needs to understand their regulatory impact.Reading Regulations Is Not OptionalA strong regulatory foundation is key to faster development, better audits, and smoother market access. Resources like 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485 are surprisingly readable and essential.References & ResourcesEtienne Nichols on LinkedInChris Rush on LinkedIn
