Lifecycle-Aligned Support

The initial stage identifies user needs and conceptualizes the product to ensure the product idea is viable before moving forward. <strong>MethodSense Capabilities:</strong> MethodSense helps companies assess the regulatory viability of product ideas before investing in development. We conduct early-stage regulatory landscape assessments, help define intended use and indications for use, and offer strategic guidance to align concepts with market and regulatory expectations. This early clarity reduces costly pivots later. <strong>LuminLogic Capabilities:</strong> LuminLogic helps capture and organize initial ideas, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements from the start.

Phase 1 involves developing a detailed plan to guide the product’s design and development to ensure that timelines and resources are aligned with the product goals. <strong>MethodSense Capabilities:</strong> We assist clients in building a robust product development plan that aligns with both business and regulatory needs. Our consultants provide expertise in defining regulatory strategies, identifying applicable standards and guidance documents, and creating project plans that incorporate key quality and compliance milestones. <strong>LuminLogic Capabilities:</strong> The platform facilitates detailed planning by providing templates, expert guidance, and tracking tools for risk management, project timelines, and regulatory considerations.

Phase 2 focuses on developing detailed product requirements and specifications to ensure the product design meets all regulatory and functional requirements. <strong>MethodSense Capabilities:</strong> MethodSense ensures design activities meet regulatory design control requirements. We help establish and document user needs, design inputs and outputs, risk management processes, and design verification/validation plans. We also support creation and review of Design History Files (DHF) to prepare for regulatory review. <strong>LuminLogic Capabilities:</strong> LuminLogic streamlines design activities through integrated document management and collaboration, ensuring that regulatory design controls are met and that design history files are complete.

Involves the actual development of the product, including creating assembly instructions, conducting process FMEA, validating manufacturing processes, and qualifying equipment. <strong>MethodSense Capabilities:</strong> During development, we work with clients to document and validate processes, create and review protocols and reports, and assess supplier qualification. We help ensure that manufacturing and engineering documentation align with regulatory expectations, including risk and process control documentation. <strong>LuminLogic Capabilities:</strong> With LuminLogic, teams can efficiently manage development activities, tracking progress, updates, and ensuring compliance with applicable standards.

During this phase, the product undergoes rigorous testing to verify that it meets all design specifications and validate it fulfills its intended use. <strong>MethodSense Capabilities:</strong> Our team guides companies through rigorous V&V activities, including creation and review of verification and validation protocols, test case documentation, and traceability matrices. We ensure testing is appropriately documented to support regulatory submissions and withstand audits or inspections. <strong>LuminLogic Capabilities:</strong> The platform supports rigorous verification and validation processes with automated workflows, audit trails, and test management tools, ensuring that all requirements are met before moving to production.

Phase 5 involves the actual production of the product based on the finalized design. <strong>MethodSense Capabilities:</strong> MethodSense helps ensure a smooth transition to manufacturing through validation of production processes, establishment of quality control procedures, and implementation of change control processes. We assist in preparing documentation for production readiness reviews and regulatory submissions. <strong>LuminLogic Capabilities:</strong> LuminLogic assists in the transition to manufacturing by managing documentation, change controls, and ensuring all production processes meet regulatory and quality standards.

The final phase involves ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. <strong>MethodSense Capabilities:</strong> We support ongoing compliance through implementation and monitoring of post-market surveillance activities, including complaint handling, CAPA management, and adverse event reporting. MethodSense helps clients remain inspection-ready and manage updates to regulatory submissions as products evolve in the market. <strong>LuminLogic Capabilities:</strong> LuminLogic supports ongoing post-market activities by managing complaint handling, tracking product performance, and ensuring timely updates and reports to regulatory bodies.
