The Challenge
Amnion Life, a startup medical device company, faced significant challenges due to their lack of in-house expertise in the medical device industry. The team was new to the field and uncertain about the necessary steps to ensure compliance and success. They were overwhelmed by the complexities of establishing processes and managing multiple ad-hoc quality systems. The anxieties included questions about whether they were doing things right, what else they needed to be concerned about, and if their processes were compliant. These uncertainties hindered their efficiency and left them feeling overwhelmed. They realized the need for guidance in implementing a Quality Management System (QMS) and understanding the regulatory requirements for medical devices. They sought a provider who could not only offer an eQMS but also serve as a partner to support their efforts.
About The Customer
Amnion Life is a medical device startup founded in 2016 by Dr. Amir Fassihi. The company is dedicated to designing and developing innovative medical devices, with a focus on improving outcomes for preterm infants. Their flagship product, the AmnioBed, is a novel Class II device that recreates womb-like conditions to promote ongoing development and reduce complications following premature birth. The company operates in the highly regulated medical device industry and aims to be at the forefront of quality and regulatory compliance. Despite being a small team with limited experience in the medical device field, Amnion Life is committed to achieving high-quality outcomes and scalability. They are based in Orange County, CA, USA, and are navigating the De Novo pathway to bring their unique device to market.
