It’s a reality that medical devices intended to help patients can sometimes cause harm or malfunction. When that happens, how is your company prepared to deal with applicable regulatory requirements?

Hogan Lovells helps companies navigate the complex framework of reporting adverse events to regulatory bodies and governmental agencies related to the use of their devices. Our wealth of experience in this nuanced area allows us to help determine whether an event is reportable and to develop strategies that ensure adverse events are handled effectively, consistently, and in compliance with the law, while in certain instances seeking to develop alternative reporting approaches to streamline regulatory requirements.

We are also able to assist companies in developing remediation strategies and improvement plans where warranted.
