Post-Market Surveillance, Complaints & Mandatory Problem Reporting

Preliminary and final incident reporting support
10-day and 30-day mandatory problem reporting assessment
Foreign incident / corrective-action assessment where applicable
Trend review and signal assessment
Recall strategy and Health Canada communication support
Corrective and preventive action (CAPA) integration
Risk-management file updates (ISO 14971)

Reporting Timelines:

For incidents occurring in Canada, a preliminary report is generally due within 10 calendar days when death or serious deterioration in health has occurred, and within 30 calendar days when such an outcome did not occur but could occur if the incident recurred.

Expert Focus:

We do not treat complaints as isolated quality records. We connect complaint data to reportability, risk, CAPA, recall decisions, licence impact and the technical evidence supporting the device.

Maintain Rigorous Health Canada Vigilance and Post-Market Compliance

Our post-market specialists assess incident reportability, lodge MPR notifications, and manage recall communications.
