Complaint Handling & Vigilance support for Regulated Products

Structured complaint investigations aligned with ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820.198, and EU MDR/IVDR.

Supporting complaint management across medical devices, pharmaceuticals, OTC drugs, and cosmetics to ensure compliant post-market surveillance and patient safety.

Why Complaint Handling Matters?

Complaint handling is a critical component of post-market surveillance and regulatory compliance. Global regulations require manufacturers to investigate product complaints, assess patient risk, identify potential reportable events, and implement corrective actions.

Improper processing, investigation, or documentation of product complaints can result in warning letters, delayed approvals, distribution restrictions, and increased CAPAs.

Regulators expect structured intake, documented evaluation, timely investigation, root cause determination, and traceable closure under defined timelines.

A complaint system is not merely administrative; it is a regulated process that must withstand audit scrutiny.
