  • 1.  Regulatory legal counseling for Breakthrough Devices?

    Posted 08-Oct-2020 12:43
    Hi all,
    I am looking for a regulatory consulting firm with confirmed experience in clearing/approving breakthrough medical devices. Do you know someone to recommend?
    Thanks!

    Hi Tatiana,

    I have helped startup bio/med-tech companies draft, review, and submit BDP's. I'm not a legal council (J.D.) (or a firm), not sure if you are looking more for legal assistance with regulatory laws, based on your subject line, or not.

    PM me if the interest is writing strategies or guidelines.

    Best,
    Chris

    I have worked with Hogan Lovells and find them to be excellent.

    Hi Tatiana,

    I'm not sure if you are working on something where you specifically need a legal firm; however, just getting a Breakthrough Designation does not require a legal firm. I am a regulatory consultant and have worked successfully on several breakthrough device designation requests.

    Hi Tatiana, 
    I recommend to take a look at MCRA. They have just hired one of the FDA reviewers in charge of Breakthrough Device Program, John Doucet.

    I have interacted with John during my years at the FDA and he is a very brilliant person. They also recently hired Tim Marjenin, former Assistant Director in the neurostimulation team (my ex branch chief), so I believe you cannot find a better team than that!
    Hope it helps,
    Best
