RegMetrics guides you each step of the way

Check if you need to follow regulations

Your RegMetrics journey will start with a free, short set of yes-or-no questions that will tell you whether or not your product is a medical device. Only medical devices need to comply with medical device regulations.

This step is free!

Outcome

Your product’s status as a medical device or non-medical device

RM_steps_1

Get your device class

Next, you'll answer some straightforward questions about your device and what it's meant to do. RegMetrics will tell you what "class" your device is. This class indicates the risk to the patients. It will influence the requirements you need to meet to make sure your device is safe.

Outcome

Device classification as a formal PDF for regulators plus an interactive report for internal discussion

RM_steps_2

Identify your device requirements

Based on your device class and previous answers, we'll take you through a customised sequence of topics and ask you to choose any statements that apply to your device.

Outcome

A comprehensive set of requirements for your device known as the "GSPR check list"

RM_steps_3

Review your standards and get ready to test

Your device may have standards to conform with. These standards are aligned with the requirements you've already identified. If you base your testing protocol on the standards, your device will be well-positioned for approval. We'll help you identify testing houses where you can get your device tested.

Outcome

The first part of your technical documentation, ready to be submitted to your regulator

RegMetrics is helpful when scoping grant submission activities, de-risking the proposal and ensuring sufficient budgetary requirements. RegMetrics also helped us with our regulatory strategy and I would recommend using the tool.

Testimonial-1

Clark Crawford

West Midlands Academic Health Science Network, UK

I have spent thousands of dollars on regulatory advice and I did not understand any of it, just with this [training] session and using RegMetrics, I understand it much better.

MedTech innovator

RegMetrics is the only tool that tells you what class of medical device you are working on and why. The "why" is very helpful for founders, as it gives them confidence and insight into medical device classification.

Testimonial-2

Dr. Bodo Brückner

Life Science Accelerator Baden-Württemberg, Germany

I liked the examples used, they really helped me to understand when to answer yes and when to answer no to certain questions - particularly around the use case and intended purpose of the device.

Dr Laura Powell

Technology Transfer Associate at the University of Southampton

RegMetrics provides an excellent workflow to go through each of the parameters step-by-step. Very easy to follow the process.

Lecturer in Cyber Security

University of South Wales

RegMetrics presents so much complicated information in a really accessible way, the glossary of terms on each page and the examples for context for each question are super helpful. The fact the triaging system within the software takes you through question by question. The list of questions and answers at the end and the consequent incremental changes in classification are super helpful to see.
