Dovetail Medical Device Regulatory Compliance

Description

Dovetail serves as a dedicated regulatory partner for medtech companies facing critical timelines, aiming to expedite their path to market. The service is built by seasoned medical device regulatory experts, offering access to former FDA professionals who manage submissions directly, alongside a robust QMS Plus platform and AI agents trained on current regulations. Clients can engage Dovetail as a full regulatory team or utilize their platform independently, with the overarching goal of shortening the approval process.

Companies across various markets rely on Dovetail for navigating complex regulatory landscapes for life-saving medical devices. Dovetail provides two distinct engagement models: 'Envoy' for startups needing a complete regulatory team to manage pre-market activities and clearance, and 'QMS Plus' for existing regulatory teams and consultants seeking advanced tools. The QMS Plus platform, designed by working regulatory experts, focuses on document creation rather than just storage, aligning with ISO 13485 standards and audit readiness.

Dovetail facilitates global market access, covering major regulatory bodies including FDA (510(k), De Novo, PMA), EU MDR/IVDR, UKCA, ISO 13485, and MDSAP. They address the inefficiencies in traditional regulatory work, which often relies on outdated methods like Word documents and email reviews. Their AI agent assists with drafting, checking, and searching live regulations, while QMS Plus generates documents. The AI complements human expertise, making regulatory processes more efficient and less prone to errors.

Data security is a priority, with GDPR compliance, ISO 27001 alignment, and strict NDAs. Dovetail differentiates itself from traditional consultants by offering a more integrated and cost-effective solution, and from legacy QMS platforms by actively creating documents. Their pricing is transparent, with fixed fees for Envoy and subscription tiers for QMS Plus, avoiding billing surprises and vendor lock-in. They have a proven track record with over 80 certifications across diverse device types, including AI SaMD and Class III implants.
