M&A Integration Service Framework

Regulatory Compliance in Mergers & Acquisitions

This Post-Merger and Acquisition (M&A) integration services framework streamlines regulatory, operational, and quality system alignment across merged entities. It covers due diligence, portfolio assessment, document remediation, and global QMS harmonization. The framework supports risk management, training, clinical evaluations, and labeling integration, ensuring compliance across markets. With end-to-end assistance, from notified body submissions to market access consulting, it enables smooth transitions, reduced regulatory friction, and accelerated synergy realization in medical device and healthcare-related acquisitions.

Strategic Evaluation & Compliance Setup

The process begins with due diligence, involving a review of registrations, certifications, and status reports. This informs product portfolio assessment, followed by documentation review and remediation, particularly technical files and DHFs. The next phase is QMS integration and global harmonization, ensuring unified processes. Finally, verification and validation solidifies compliance through standardized evaluation methods post-merger.

Operational Alignment & Clinical Synergy

To support execution, the framework includes risk management and program management that align global and local teams. Training and change management prepare staff and systems for transitions. This is followed by biocompatibility and clinical evaluations to meet regulatory demands and confirm product safety. Labeling and packaging support ensures compliance with region-specific requirements during product rollout or relaunch.

Regulatory Support & Market Readiness

On the regulatory front, the framework provides notified body submission support to navigate global regulatory bodies efficiently. It also handles compliance maintenance, including CAPAs and complaint management. For future growth and alignment, new product development and market access consulting helps position the merged portfolio strategically, ensuring continued innovation, compliance, and market competitiveness.
