MARACA International provides regulatory and clinical consultation to support Conformité Européene (CE) and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) applications for medical devices and in-vitro diagnostics (IVD).
Based in Belgium, the company also offers medical, regulatory, and clinical affairs services to help medical device, IVD, and pharmaceutical firms get their medical devices to market quickly and effectively.
MARACA International offers a range of unique medical affairs and clinical research (CRO) services. These include product design reviews, advice on companion diagnostic products, risk-benefit summaries, clinical evidence development, clinical performance studies, and on-market protocol development.
The firm also helps prepare a variety of documentation as part of a performance evaluation, which includes a statistical analysis plan, a synopsis, risk management reviews, and assessment of clinical evidence with study plans and reports.
MARACA International also reviews and signs health hazard assessments, risk-benefit studies, and clinical evidence development documents, as well as represent clients to international regulatory bodies.
Small or medium-sized manufacturers can outsource all or part of their regulatory activities to MARACA International for effective regulatory affairs management for CE and FDA medical device submissions.
The company offers a detailed strategy plan, featuring a literature review, design input, and high-quality evaluation reports. This service provides medical device and IVD developers with the required documents as part of a notified body submission pack.
In addition, the company helps ease communications between the manufacturer and regulatory agency throughout registration and the approval process.
Once approved, MARACA International’s support continues with MDR reporting, on-market surveillance and vigilance.
MARACA International manages quality assurance (QA) activities to help meet the requirements of ISO 13485, US FDA 21CFR 820, and other international regulations.
Whether a client’s quality system still has to be built or needs adjustments, the company provides guidance on what is needed for a quality system in compliance with the applicable regulations and standards.
MARACA International provides a number of QA support services, including product labelling and supplier management, nonconformity process development, auditing, distribution and manufacturing control, risk management, and design control through a technical file document, as well as corrective and preventative actions (CAPA) process development.
The company also assists clinical laboratories with the implementation of a quality system to meet regulations such as ISO 15189:2012 for medical laboratories, CLIA 42 CFR 493 laboratory requirements, or the FDA QSR 21 CFR 820. This service includes a gap analysis audit, team training sessions, one-on-one guidance, document writing, template development, and QA outsourcing.
A number of directives and regulations in the US, EU, and China require risk management as part of product development in the product dossier. MARACA International helps clients conduct risk analysis and evaluations to help meet these regulations using a number of tested templates.
In addition, MARACA International helps form a well-structured risk management file that is consistent, transparent, and compliant with the regulatory requirements.
MARACA International performs systematic reviews of scientific literature and provides a performance evaluation plan and report.
This helps identify the gaps in clinical evidence and guides the development of a clinical study plan.
When a clinical study is needed, MARACA International helps develop the clinical study plans / protocols, manages data collection, monitors the study, and generates the relevant report.
MARACA International has established a series of training modules and general consulting on the most recent developments in medical device and IVD regulations, focusing on the impact it could have on your business. This guidance helps clients remain consistent with the constantly changing pharmaceutical sector.
