About Ann-Catrin

Regulatory requirements under MDR, IVDR, and GMP are becoming increasingly complex – at the same time, many companies lack the resources to efficiently implement documentation, quality processes, and regulatory strategies.

This is exactly where I provide support.

I assist pharmaceutical, medtech, and IVD companies with the implementation of regulatory requirements, the structuring of technical documentation, and the optimization of quality and compliance processes.

Myfocus areasareRegulatory Affairs, Quality Management, and Clinical/Performance Evaluation.This includes in particular the creation and revision of technical documentation(CER, PER),the implementation and further development of quality management systems according toISO 13485 and GMP,as well as the handling of complex deviations, root cause analyses, and CAPA processes.

Furthermore, I support companies with Post-Market Surveillance(PMS), PMCF,and vigilance processes, as well as with the analysis and evaluation of clinical and performance data in the regulatory context.

Through my combination of regulatory expertise, practical experience in the laboratory environment, and many years of work in GMP-regulated quality management, I can support projects both strategically and operationally – from gap analysis through implementation to sustainable process optimization.

I support companieson a project basis or on an interim basis,particularly with MDR/IVDR implementations, technical documentation, CAPA and deviation management, and regulatory strategy issues.

A special focus is onIVDR transition projects(IVDD → IVDR) and on supporting medical diagnostic laboratories with the implementation of IVDR requirements for Laboratory Developed Tests(LDTs)according toIVDR (Article 5(5)).
