REMEDIATING ISSUES IN FDA CONSENT DECREE AND SAVING GLOBAL DEVICE FIRM $200 MILLION

When you’re out of compliance and your bottom line is suffering, rely on our experts to get you back on track ASAP.

This multi-billion dollar device company was struggling under an FDA consent decree that prohibited the sale of its devices and the development of upgraded products. The Evanston Group provided a team of experienced project managers and SMEs. Within five months, the team had closed 1,906 compliance gaps in the supplier management database and 159 supplier audits, and implemented new corporate supplier procedures.  

The remediation plan and subsequent FDA clearance allowed the company to get back to business in a timely manner, which saved an estimated $200 million in product recalls and other expenses. The plan also yielded a pathway for the company to resume its efforts to introduce new products to the marketplace.

SUPPORTING CAPA AND DHF WORKSTREAMS FOR 483 WARNING LETTER REMEDIATION

Our project managers and subject matters experts have deep experience helping life sciences leaders remediate the issues raised in 483 warning letters.

This Fortune 500 medical device firm was in the process of developing a consolidated master plan for global remediation due to 483 warning letters. The Evanston Group delivered two quality teams, including project managers as well as subject matter experts, to support the firm’s Corrective and Preventative Action (CAPA) and Design History Files (DHF) workstreams. We helped the client remediate the issues and get into compliance with the current regulatory standards – so they could continue selling their products.

BRINGING ACQUIRED PRODUCT LINE UP TO CURRENT REGULATORY STANDARDS

We have project managers, but also subject matter experts – like this design engineer and systems engineer.

When this leading life sciences firm acquired a new company, they turned to The Evanston Group to help proactively get the new product line’s quality documents up to current FDA standards. We brought in a design engineer, a systems engineer, and a project manager to help bring the product line up to current regulatory standards.
