• Support 510(k) submission activities related to manufacturing, including process validation documentation, DMR development, and device history records (DHR).
• Define incoming inspection, in-process controls, and final product testing consistent with the risk management file.
• Manage product certifications for a Class II device, including FDA registration, UDI compliance, and applicable international requirements.
• Lead root cause analysis and CAPA for quality issues, ensuring post-market surveillance compliance.

Fulfillment & Logistics

• Design the direct-to-patient fulfillment strategy, including 3PL selection with FDA-cleared Class II device experience.
• Establish logistics and distribution for nationwide shipping of a regulated device with chain-of-custody and traceability.
