with External Parties

Coordinating your R&D pipeline, laboratory studies, and intellectual property strategy — so your team stays focused on innovation while we manage the regulatory and technical interfaces.

Overview

Developing a medical device requires orchestrating multiple external partners — testing laboratories, R&D contractors, notified bodies, and patent counsel. Mansour Consulting acts as your experienced regulatory interface, ensuring that external work is properly scoped, executed to applicable standards, and documented in a way that supports your regulatory submissions.

R&D Coordination

We assist manufacturers in structuring their product development activities to align with FDA design controls (21 CFR 820.30) and ISO 13485 requirements from day one — not as an afterthought.

  • Design history file (DHF) planning and structure
  • Design input/output traceability matrix development
  • Risk management integration per ISO 14971
  • Coordination with contract R&D organizations (CROs)
  • Technical file and design dossier preparation

Laboratory Testing

We help you select the right testing laboratories, define appropriate test protocols, and ensure results are documented in a format acceptable to FDA and international regulators.

  • Biocompatibility testing strategy (ISO 10993 series)
  • OECD GLP / OMAL compliant study planning
  • Electrical safety and EMC testing coordination (IEC 60601)
  • Sterility, packaging, and shelf-life validation
  • Bench and performance testing protocol review

We work with accredited third-party labs and can recommend facilities with proven FDA submission track records.

Patent Application Support

While we are not a law firm, we support your patent strategy by providing the technical and regulatory narrative that underpins strong intellectual property filings — and by coordinating the interface between your patent counsel and your regulatory team.

  • Technical description drafting for patent applications
  • Prior art landscape review (regulatory perspective)
  • Coordination with patent attorneys on device claims
  • FTO (freedom to operate) regulatory input
